The trip, in short
Traditional homesteads from across Kenya's ethnic communities and a live drumming, dance and acrobatics show — Nairobi's most complete cultural afternoon.
A single afternoon covering the cultural range of a country with over 40 ethnic communities: traditional homesteads built in each community’s own architectural style, followed by a live show of drumming, acrobatics and dance drawn from across Kenya, performed in a purpose-built auditorium.
It’s the most efficient introduction to Kenyan culture available in Nairobi — no travel beyond the city outskirts required, and the show alone runs close to an hour of high-energy performance. Popular as a half-day add-on before or after a safari.
What makes this one special
- Traditional homesteads representing over 10 Kenyan communities
- Live traditional dance, drumming and acrobatics show
- Guided walk through the cultural village
- Purpose-built auditorium performance
- Convenient Nairobi-city location
