Description

Experience Nairobi’s vibrant nightlife on a guided tour. Ride in a Thika Road matatu, explore the city’s nightlife hotspots, and enjoy a pub crawl with welcome shots.
Begin your evening with a pickup in the CBD or Westlands. Head to a major Thika Road stage where the famous matatus (nganyas) operate. These are not ordinary vehicles — they are mobile nightclubs decorated with murals, neon lights, LED strips, massive sound systems, and graffiti inspired by hip-hop, celebrities, and Nairobi culture.

Hop into a carefully selected “nganya” and enjoy a signature ride along Thika Road Superhighway. Along the way, your guide explains everything — matatu crew slang, street art influences, how routes work, DJ culture, and the unique unspoken rules of Nairobi’s public transport world.

With music thumping and lights glowing, travel to various iconic matatu stops for photos, storytelling, and urban exploration. This is one of Nairobi’s most Instagrammable experiences — raw, artistic, and full of life.

After the matatu adventure, your guide leads you into the nightlife section of the tour. Visit 3–4 top pubs or lounges, depending on the night’s vibe. Expect a mix of trendy modern bars, local music lounges, vibe-heavy Nairobi joints, and fun bar games & social challenges.

At each stop, get a welcome shot, and your guide helps you blend in and enjoy the night safely. Meet friendly locals, dance, take great photos, try Kenyan drinks, and feel the energy of Nairobi after dark.
