Nairobi National Park - The journey begins with a hotel pickup, followed by a trip to Nairobi National Park. Upon arrival, the park’s uniqueness is immediately apparent. With the city’s skyline as a backdrop, visitors can observe lions, rhinos, buffaloes, hyenas, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, impalas, and more. Although downtown Nairobi is just a few miles away, this is far from a city zoo or theme park. Despite being the oldest (established in 1946) and one of the smallest parks in Kenya, sightings of lions and hyenas are common. The park is home to over 400 bird species, including the magnificent Ostrich. “Kifaru” is Swahili for rhinoceros, and the park supports the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya, earning it the nickname Kifaru Ark. As the rhino population grows, the park has become a source for supplying these endangered species to other parks across the country. The tour then continues to Kobe Beads.

KOBE TOUGH Beads & Leather - Kobe Bead Factory is located 500 meters and about a 10-minute walk from Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages, just a “stone’s throw away” from the Karen Blixen Museum. Founded by the late Lady Susan Wood in 1975, the factory provided employment for struggling single mothers in the community. Kobe Beads Factory remains in its original location in Karen and has now employed over 300 local women. Kobe Beads specializes in handmade ceramic beads, pottery, and genuine leather bags.
-
Karen Blixen Museum - This museum was once the African home of Danish author Karen Blixen, renowned for her book “Out of Africa,” which details life on the estate. The museum is situated half a kilometer from Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages and is open daily from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, including weekends and public holidays. Visitors can enjoy guided tours featuring rooms decorated in the original style and with props from the 1985 film. The grounds, which include original equipment from the coffee farm, are also open for tours. A lunch break follows (at the visitor’s own expense).
-
Maasai Market Collections Karen - The tour then proceeds to the Bomas Cultural Dance Show, a cultural center in Langata. Talented resident artists perform traditional dances and songs from the country’s various tribal groups, including Arab-influenced Swahili Taarab music, Kalenjin warrior dances, Embu drumming, and Kikuyu circumcision ceremonies. While it is tourist-oriented, it offers a spectacular afternoon experience and is a must-visit for all tourists. The day concludes with a return to the hotel around 5-6 PM.
