Nairobi CBD Walking Tour: Stories, Streets & Local Flavors

Discover Nairobi’s vibrant streets on a guided walking tour. Visit iconic landmarks, taste local street food, and enjoy a cup of Kenyan coffee or masala chai at a local café.
Meet your guide at Hilton Arcade, right at the edge of Nairobi’s buzzing CBD. After a short safety briefing, begin your walk through the city’s living heartbeat — where business, history, and street life collide.

Your first stop is Kencom House, a classic colonial-era building that marks the transition from old to modern Nairobi. From there, walk to the National Archives, home to rare photos and exhibits that capture Kenya’s past. Your guide will share brief stories about Nairobi’s railway roots and early settlers.

Step outside and head along Mama Ngina Street, where you’ll see Nairobi’s most recognizable landmarks — from Parliament buildings to the statue of founding father Jomo Kenyatta.

Turn into Muindi Mbingu Street, one of the city’s most colorful lanes, lined with tailors, fruit vendors, and street booksellers. Here, you’ll pause to taste a few authentic street snacks — roasted maize, bhajias, or fresh sugarcane juice — depending on what’s seasonal and available.

Continue to Jamia Mosque, a masterpiece of architecture and a powerful symbol of Nairobi’s diversity. Your guide explains how the city’s communities — Muslim, Christian, Hindu — coexist in the same few blocks.

Next, visit Kenya’s first public park — Jeevanjee Gardens — a green pause amid the city noise. Sit briefly under the shade as your guide shares stories about freedom movements and how Nairobi's residents use this park for rest, art, and public debate.

Before ending, stop at a local café near Biashara Street. Enjoy a cup of Kenyan coffee or masala chai while watching the city flow past. Your guide will recommend favorite local food joints, music spots, and night markets you can explore afterward.

End your tour at City Market, where you can browse local crafts or grab a quick souvenir before heading back on your own.
