Nairobi, Kenya Attractions

Nairobi is a city rich in places to visit. The city, which is also the capital of the country, is the first stopover point for incoming tourists. Kenya is one of the most important countries in Africa in terms of awareness.

Kenya has land borders with Somalia, Ethiopia, Tanzania, South Sudan and Uganda. It also has a coast to the Indian Ocean.

Let me start by giving detailed information about Nairobi. Nairobi, which is the center of the country, is a city where poverty and wealth are experienced at the same time, like the capitals of many countries. You will see 2 names very often in this city. The first is the country's most well-known president, Jomo Kenyatta, and the other is Danish author Karen Blixen, who left a big mark in Nairobi with her benevolence.

If you want to learn about Kenya and those who set foot in Africa for the first time, I recommend you to watch the movie adapted from Karen Blixen's book.

Nairobi, One of Africa's Most Special Cities

The first place that comes to mind when talking about places to visit in Nairobi is of course the Elephant Orphanage. In this place, which is allowed to visit for only 1 hour every day at noon, first information about the elephants and then photography permission is given. This elephant orphanage serves as a rehabilitation center for animals in need around the country and is provided by volunteers.

The full name of this place is David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Another interesting place in the city is the Giraffe Center. This is a place where you can visit every day of the week and take pictures with these beautiful animals. At the same time, there is a cafe here to buy souvenirs and relax.

Another place to see in Nairobi is the Karen Blixen museum, as I mentioned above. The house he lived in a large farm and her belongings are exhibited. You can be very impressed when visiting this museum house, which has an impressive life story and left a great mark in the country during its lifetime.

Bomas Of Africa is an open-air museum that symbolizes ancient African culture and shows life in the past. I must remind you that there are local dances some days when visiting this place. Nairobi National Park can be an alternative for those who want to go out and do a safari. You can see many animals in their natural life in this park, albeit in small quantities.
