Description
Explore Nairobi’s independence monuments on a guided walking tour. Learn about the heroes who shaped Kenya’s history and visit the Dedan Kimathi Statue.
Begin with a smooth hotel pickup, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free start to the day. As you head into central Nairobi, your guide—an expert in Kenyan history and cultural storytelling—will introduce you to the key themes of Kenya’s independence movement. Gain context about British colonial rule, the rise of resistance leaders, and the social forces that ultimately led the nation toward self-governance in 1963.
Your first stop often includes the Dedan Kimathi Statue, a powerful symbol of Kenya’s fight for freedom. Kimathi, a central figure of the Mau Mau movement, represents resilience, bravery, and unwavering dedication to independence. Standing before the statue, your guide will recount the story of Kimathi’s leadership, his role in organizing resistance fighters, and the impact of the Mau Mau uprising on Kenya’s political awakening.
