The Elgeyo Escarpment and the East Cheranganyi Hills

The Rift valley is not short of astonishing vistas but even here few roads quite match the track up the Elgeyo Escarpmentsouth of tot for precipitousness and sheer daring. A thousand, two thousand meters below, and spreading like a grey-green carpet into the haze, are the scabby, bush – covered plains of Pokot and south Turkana. Dozens of tiny drifts of smoke from charcoal burners combine to…

Hell`s Gate National Park

The most popular expedition in Naivasha area is the hike through the Njorowa gorge – Hells Gate. This is a spectacular and exciting area; the gorge has red cliffs and undulating expanse of grassland providing one of the few remaining places in Kenya where you can walk among the herds of plains game without having to go a long way off the beaten track. Buffalo, zebra eland and hartebeest,…

Coastal culture

The cost is where East Africa meets the classical world. Partly though the intermediary of Islam with its direct and simple tenets, foreign ideas have shaped society, language, literature and architecture. Apart from the pragmatic Portuguese, whose interests seem to have been entirely mercenary, immigrants and traders from Arabia and Asia – once or twice even china – have been a subtle and…

The coast

Nearly everyone arrives on the coast at Mombasa, a considerably more enjoyable place to spend time than Nairobi. Kenya`s second city, it is a tropical centre par excellence: steamy, lazy and seedily dilapidated but ready at all times to burst into colorful life. All round there are superb beaches. And though you will find pockets of tourist development – and local crowds in the immediate city…

Nairobi National Park

Open daily, dawn to dusk, Ksh500.

If you are uncertain of being able to see any of the big Kenyan game reserves, try at least to spend a morning or afternoon in Nairobi National Park. Despite the hype, it really is remarkable that this 113 SQ km patch of plains and woodland should exist almost uncorrupted and complete with more than eight species of large mammals – literally within earshot of the…

Cinema, Theatre and Night – Live Music and Clubs

Cinema and Theatre

Nairobi has thirty-five cinemas, including two drive-ins. The 20th century on Mama Ngina, the Nairobi on Nkrumah Lane just off Harambee Avenue and the Kenyaon Moi Avenue show recent American releases – usually blockbusters or award winners. Others tend to show Kung Fu, vintage James Bond, Old Westerns and, of course, Indian movies which you do not need to understand to enjoy.…

The National Museum

Open daily 9.30-6; Ksh100 to non-Kenyans, Ksh50 to Kenyans and students, guides available on request, free. The national museum is without doubt Nairobi`s prime sightseeing attraction, but surprisingly few travelers make the small effort required to get up here. Do not follow suit: it is the best possible prelude to any tour around the country and from the centre it is only about half an hour…

Arrival and Orientation in Nairobi

Arrival

Getting into central Nairobi presents few problems – and once you are there you will find few problems sorting out your way around. The city has considerable suburbs but its inner area is relatively small area, a triangle of shops, offices and public buildings with the railway station on the southern flank and the main bus stations on the east.

Arriving by air, you will find yourself at…

NAIROBI AND AROUND

Easily the largest city in East Africa, Nairobi is also the youngest, the most modern, the fastest growing, the highest (1,700m)…the superlatives rattle on. “City in the sun”, goes one catch phrase, “City of flowers”, another. Less enchanted visitors growl “Nairobbery”. The city catches your attention at least this is no tropical backwater. Most roads, particularly starred ones, lead to Nairobi…
