Descrizione
Explore the Kenya Railway Museum in Nairobi on a guided tour. Discover the origins of East Africa’s railway system, enjoy a private backstage experience, and see old workshops and tools.
Begin your tour with a guided walk through the public galleries of the Kenya Railway Museum. Learn about the origins of East Africa’s railway system and its profound impact on settlement, trade, and the birth of Nairobi.
Then, go beyond the main exhibits for a private backstage experience available only to special groups. Step inside old workshops where engineers once repaired steam locomotives, view original tools, metallic blueprints, and restoration projects that keep historical trains alive.
Explore rarely accessed areas such as archival rooms with photographs, tickets, maps, and engineering records, original steam locomotives, station bells, and colonial-era instruments, vintage carriages including VIP cabins, mail wagons, and passenger compartments, and an outdoor locomotive yard with engines from the early 1900s to modern diesel trains.
Your guide shares captivating stories—from the Tsavo man-eaters, to construction challenges, to the evolution of Kenya’s railway culture. End the tour with free time to explore the museum grounds, take photos in the train cabins, or browse the souvenir shop before returning to your hotel.
