Hello
I live in nairobi and here is my suggestion...
You might want to visit Karen Blixen Giraffe Centre.
This trip can be done either in the morning of in the afternoon. From
the town centre, drive towards Ngong Hills passing through the Ngong
village to the Karen Blixen Museum, for many years her home (as seen
in the movie 'out of Africa').
Later proceed to the Giraffe Centre where you will have the chance to
see the endangered Rothschild giraffe and hand feed them or drink tea
with the giraffes.
or
visit the Bomas of Kenya along Langata road. Bomas of Kenya is just
about 12 kilometres from the city centre and has numerous homesteads
reflecting Kenya's variety of cultures. The greatest excitement of
this visit in the afternoon will be a display of traditional dances,
music and other folklore traditional songs in a splendid arena.
