Description
Discover Nairobi's street food scene on a guided walking tour. Taste 5 distinct street foods, learn about the city's history and culture, and explore the vibrant City Market.
Begin your journey at Queensway House, a perfect spot to watch the city wake up. From here, skip the generic sights and head straight into the heart of the CBD.
Your first stop is all about the "Pasua" culture. Try the Smokie Pasua—a grilled sausage split open and filled with fresh kachumbari (tomato and onion salsa and coriander leaves). It’s the unofficial fuel of the Nairobi workforce. As you walk toward the City Market, hear stories about the architecture and the 42 different cultures that make this city a melting point.
At the market, move past the souvenir stalls to where the real action is. Taste freshly made samosas and, if you're feeling adventurous, a bit of Mutura (the legendary Kenyan traditional sausage) prepared right before your eyes. Wash it all down with a cup of authentic Kenyan tea or coffee at a "base" where locals gather to talk politics and sports.
Do a bit of a historical tour of Nairobi, and hear about the fight for freedom as you talk about the Mau Mau freedom fighters at Kenyatta Avenue and Dedan Kimathi at Kimathi Street. Learn about Sarova Stanley and how Queen Elizabeth became the queen from Nairobi, Kenya in 1952.
Wrap up the tour by navigating the vibrant "Matatu" culture—the colorful, loud, and artistic bus system that is a gallery on wheels. By the time you part ways, you won’t just have a full stomach; you’ll have the confidence to navigate Nairobi’s streets like a local.
