Nairobi is in first place ahead of Paris (2nd place) and Montreal (3rd place), among others. But what does the capital of Kenya actually have to offer?
“Lonely Planet” has presented four activities that you should definitely do in Namibia:
The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is an NGO primarily committed to the protection of elephants. According to its own statements, it runs the most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world.
The Karen Blixen Museum is one of the national museums in Kenya. It is the former home of the Danish writer Karen Blixen, who wrote the famous autobiography ‘Out of Africa’, which was also made into a film.
To escape the noisy city, one can visit Karura Forest, an urban forest of Nairobi.
The Nairobi National Museum has collections and exhibitions about the culture and history of East Africa. At the same time, it is a research institute with four research departments: Zoology, Center for Biodiversity, East African Herbarium (with the largest botanical collection in Africa) and Geosciences.
