Major Attractions In Nairobi

Nairobi is a bustling, lively city with a population of around a million, and a cosmopolitan feel. It is well equipped with tourist infrastructure, and is convenient for business travelers or those looking to get bureaucratic problems sorted out. In Nairobi, the National Museum houses an impressive collection of native birds, mammals and tribal crafts, and also has fascinating exhibitions on prehistoric times and tribal culture. Entrance fee is US$ 4.  

There is a Snake Park for those wishing to see a good variety of East African snake species. There is also a Railway Museum, but at US$ 4 entry, it is hardly worth a visit. The main attractions around Nairobi are Nairobi National Park (where one can see almost all the big game that Kenya is famous for; entry US$ 27 per person) and a chance to see traditional Kenyan dances at the cultural center ‘Bomas’ at Langata, a half an hour’s bus ride from Nairobi.
