Kenya Safari Itinerary:1 Day Mombasa City Tour
Nairobi is the Capital city of Kenya, representative of the city's contrasting images of wealthy spacious suburbs, charming flower-lined streets and a refreshing climate. Nairobi is best characterized by its descriptive names, like 'Green City in the Sun', 'City of Flowers' and the Masai name 'Place of Cool Waters'.
Nairobi is one of Africa's largest and most interesting cities of assorted races, tribes and origins are all a part of its make-up. Rural immigrants and refugees are drawn by the hope of wealth and opportunity, international businessmen are attracted by profitable business prospects, and tourists are promised the makings of the perfect safari. The city center buzzes with the energy, shoppers, tourists, safari touts, food vendors and trinket sellers, security guards, and sharp-eyed shoe shiners. Among them are the disillusioned faces of the unemployed, the beggars and the destitute.
There are several museums and places of interest in the city, including the National Museum and Snake Park. There are numerous markets selling traditional crafts, especially the appealing Masai market that takes place at different locations depending on the day of the week. Just outside of the center is the Nairobi National Park, and the nearby Bomas of Kenya host performances of traditional dancing and singing. The Langata Giraffe Center offers visitors the chance to hand-feed the Rothschild giraffes that inhabit the area.
