Explore Nairobi National Park, Karen Blixen Museum, Bomas of Kenya, and Carnivore Restaurant in one guided full-day tour with round-trip transfers.

Getting started

Begin your day with private round-trip hotel transfers that take you from your accommodation to the first stop on your itinerary. After meeting your professional English-speaking guide, you set off by vehicle toward Nairobi National Park for your game drive. Your guide outlines the schedule so you know when you will visit each stop and when lunch at Carnivore Restaurant is planned.

What to expect

Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park is the world's only national park located within a capital city, where open savannah meets the Nairobi skyline. This is your first major stop, with time devoted to a guided game drive.

Features

• Your expert English-speaking guide leads the game drive through Nairobi National Park, helping you look for rhinos, lions, giraffes, and leopards while you take in views of the Nairobi city skyline in the background.
• Entry to Nairobi National Park is included, so you can focus on the wildlife experience instead of arranging tickets on arrival.
• As you traverse the park, you pass through the Kitengela Migration Corridor, the seasonal route that allows animals to move between the park and surrounding conservation areas, which your guide explains from an ecological perspective.

Carnivore Restaurant

After the safari, you travel by vehicle to Carnivore Restaurant for a dedicated lunch stop. The restaurant is known across Africa for its meat-focused menu and open-fire cooking.

Features

• Lunch at Carnivore Restaurant is included, featuring the "Beast of a Feast" experience with a variety of meats, including options like ostrich and crocodile, roasted over charcoal and carved at your table.
• Your guide remains with you during this break, coordinating timing so the group stays on schedule for the afternoon cultural visits.
• Non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are available for purchase at the restaurant, since drinks are not included in this experience.

Karen Blixen Museum

Following lunch, your guide brings you to the Karen Blixen Museum, set in the former farmhouse of the Out of Africa author. This stop focuses on Nairobi's literary and colonial-era heritage.

Features

• Inside the Karen Blixen Museum, you explore the historic farmhouse and its preserved grounds, which reflect the period of Kenya’s colonial history and coffee farming heritage that inspired Out of Africa.
• Entry to Karen Blixen Museum is included, and your guide provides context on the estate, pointing out details that connect the rooms and gardens to Blixen's life and writing.
• The visit also offers insight into early coffee farming in the area, with your guide explaining how the landscape around the house shaped the stories told in the book.

Bomas of Kenya

The final main stop of the day is Bomas of Kenya, a cultural center dedicated to the traditions of different Kenyan communities. Here you shift from wildlife and history to music, dance, and architecture.

Features

• With Bomas of Kenya cultural performance tickets included, you take your seat for traditional music and dance shows that showcase the energy and diversity of Kenya’s ethnic groups.
• After or around the performance time, you can walk through authentic homesteads, or bomas, which represent different communities and building styles from across the country.
• Your expert English-speaking guide helps interpret the performances and homesteads, explaining the cultural significance of specific dances, costumes, and structures before you head back to your hotel on your private round-trip transfers.

Wrapping up

At the end of the cultural performance and homestead visit at Bomas of Kenya, your driver and guide bring you back to your hotel with private round-trip transfers, concluding your full-day route where it began.
