Your Guide to the Ultimate One-Day Adventure in Nairobi

Before you reach Nairobi, the lively capital of Kenya, you need to understand that it is not only a gateway to safaris or national parks. It is a place where you can enjoy an amazing blend of urbanity, wildlife and cultural heritage. If you are in Nairobi, it is possible to enjoy a day of adventure if you are with us at BuyMore Adventure. Our Nairobi day tour excursions will help you to enjoy Kenya in a completely different way. Let us discuss how you can make the most of a single day in Nairobi.

Morning: Breakfast with Giraffes

You can start your day at the Giraffe Centre in Lang'ata. It will be a unique experience that you will have when you are there. It will be possible to see the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe and have close interaction with them. It is possible to feed them and even click pictures with them. It is wise to arrive early, as it will be possible to avoid the crowds and enjoy the peaceful morning climate.

Your next destination can be the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. It is not far from the Giraffe Centre in Lang'ata. It is an elephant orphanage and is set to rehabilitate baby elephants. At around 11.00 AM, you can feed them and enjoy their mud bath. Being there, you can understand the importance of conservation work and how Kenya is showing the path to others.

Midday: A Taste of Kenya

For lunch, head to Carnivore Restaurant, a Nairobi institution known for its game meat and vibrant atmosphere. While not for the faint-hearted, the restaurant serves everything from crocodile to ostrich, alongside vegetarian options. Alternatively, enjoy authentic Kenyan cuisine at Talisman in Karen, where the menu blends local flavours with international flair in a lush garden setting.

Afternoon: Culture and Craftsmanship

After lunch, explore Kenya’s rich cultural heritage at the Bomas of Kenya. Here, traditional homesteads from various ethnic groups are recreated to provide insight into Kenya’s diverse cultures. Live music and dance performances add energy to the experience.

If shopping and souvenirs are more your style, visit the Kazuri Beads Women's Factory. You can take a guided tour to see how the handmade ceramic beads and pottery are created, and then pick up beautiful, fair-trade gifts to take home.

Evening: Sunset in the City

As the day winds down, make your way to Nairobi National Park – the only wildlife park in the world located within a capital city. If you didn’t catch a glimpse of the Big Five earlier in your travels, you might get lucky here. The golden light of sunset casts a magical glow over the plains, with Nairobi’s skyline in the background offering a surreal contrast.

Finish your day with dinner and drinks at The Alchemist, a trendy open-air venue with food trucks, live music, and a lively crowd. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on your whirlwind Nairobi adventure.

From feeding giraffes to spotting lions at sunset, a day in Nairobi promises adventure, variety, and memories to last a lifetime. If you desire to enjoy such an experience, do contact us and we will plan the tour for you.
