Begin your day with a pickup from your hotel in Nairobi. Head to the Nairobi National Museum, where you’ll explore permanent exhibitions divided into four main pillars: nature, history, culture, and contemporary art. Discover the region's rich paleontological findings, including fossils and Stone Age tools that trace the story of human evolution. See the famous 1.6-million-year-old Turkana Boy skeleton.

Celebrate Kenya's diverse heritage with a stunning centerpiece of hundreds of calabashes. Follow the evolution of mammals, featuring life-sized dioramas and the skeleton of Ahmed, a famous elephant known for his massive tusks.

Next, head to the KICC Tower. On a clear day, the KICC helipad provides stunning views of Nairobi's most notable landmarks and features, including the Nairobi skyline, with other modern buildings like Times Tower and the Nairobi Expressway. See green spaces like Uhuru Park, Central Park, and Nairobi National Park. Admire the distant Ngong Hills, the Parliament buildings, and other government offices. Watch planes taking off and landing at both Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and Wilson Airport.

Continue to the Nairobi Railway Museum, where you’ll take a deep dive into the history of Kenya's railway system and its vital role in the country's development. Explore a vast collection of vintage steam and diesel locomotives and passenger coaches from the former East African Railways. Walk through the museum grounds and climb inside many of the old trains and carriages, giving you a hands-on feel for the railway's history.

Visit the museum's main gallery, which features smaller, unique artifacts. These include company crests, railway blueprints, and tableware used by prominent passengers such as Theodore Roosevelt. See an exhibit dedicated to the notorious man-eating lions of Tsavo, which terrorized railway workers during the construction of the Uganda Railway in the early 20th century.
