Description
Explore the African Heritage House with a private guide on a tour from Nairobi. See hand-selected pieces from over 40 African countries and learn about the artists behind them.
Start your cultural journey with a pickup from your hotel followed by a pleasant drive to the African Heritage House, set high on a hill with sweeping views of Nairobi National Park. When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by your private guide, who will take you on a relaxed, personal walk through this remarkable home and its galleries.
Along the way, you’ll learn about Alan Donovan, one of the founders of African Heritage and a passionate collector who dedicated his life to celebrating African art and design. The house is filled with carefully chosen treasures from more than 40 African countries — from Malian mud cloth and Samburu beadwork to Turkana jewelry, West African bronzes, Tuareg crafts, and architectural details inspired by traditional African homes.
As you move through the open halls, peaceful courtyards, terraces, and rooftop areas, you’ll see how different African building traditions come together in one unique space. Your guide will share stories about the artists, the meaning behind the pieces, and how this special place continues to be preserved for future generations.
