Nairobi travel guide

• Sheldrick Wildlife Trust - No trip to Africa is complete without spending time with the unique and thriving wildlife. Especially when it’s about spending some time with baby elephants. Elephants are taken care of until a certain age at Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Daphne Sheldrick founded the Trust in 1977, and since then this place has adopted black rhinos, hippos, giraffes, and several other species of animals.
• Karen Blixen Museum - Dating back to 1912, this museum was once home to notable author Karen Blixen. There are small gift shops to buy some souvenirs. Blixen’s most prized possessions are kept intact under the fine-sloped roof of this museum.
• Karura Forest - On the outskirts of Nairobi lies this forest reserve. Karura Forest is an urban upland forest, one of the world's largest gazetted forests. It is spread over 2,570 acres of land and contains several indigenous upland forest tree species. It is home to 200 species of birds, honey badgers, civets, genets, bush pigs, bushbucks, porcupines, and various reptiles and butterflies.
• Nairobi National Park - This national park is home to endangered black rhinos, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, buffaloes, and over 400 species of birds, among other animals. There are picnic sites available for tourists and walking trails for hikers.
• Ngong Hills - Ngong Hills is a great place for travellers. These peaks are far from the central city on a ridge along the Great Rift Valley. During the colonial era, this was a major settlement for farming. Due to that, there are walking trails all along the tops of these hills. The town of Ngong is nearby where the country’s first wind farm is also a source of attraction for tourists.
• Brown’s Cheese Factory and Farm - To relish a variety of specialty cheeses and homegrown vegetables, this place is ideal. For over 30 years, Brown’s has been making these cheeses with uncompromised quality and taste. Their organic flavour fulfils people’s appetite perfectly. Cheese caves and seeing their production method are worth spending some time.
• Nairobi Railway Museum - Established in 1971 by East African Railways and Harbours Corporation, the Nairobi Railway Museum is a homage to the defunct East African Railways. It has remnants of early diesel locomotives and passenger coaches. This museum is a perfect way to transport back in time to the prime time of East African Corporation.
