What to do and see in Nairobi, Kenya: The Best Rail Tours

June 4, 2021 Renato Branum

Known as the safari capital of Africa, Nairobi is an energetic, modern city that serves as a fascinating introduction to both wildlife and nightlife. Music clubs pulse with life, shops and markets bustle, and a mélange of restaurants will tempt your palate in this former Maasai watering hole. Top sights include the Karen Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre and the black rhinos of Nairobi National Park. The compact city center is safe to walk in and taxis make other areas accessible.

Mombasa is the oldest city (but the second largest city) in Kenya. It offers intrepid travelers a heady cocktail of fun, comprising of a cosmopolitan city, a major African port, ancient history, culinary delights, crazy party scene (locals call it “Mombasa Raha” – Swahili for “Mombasa Fun” or “Joy”), diverse cultures, great weather, fabulous beaches. Mombasa is reknown for its remarkable pearly white sandy beaches, historical sites, ancient architecture, dolphin sporting trips, deep sea fishing, snorkeling and is also the largest port in Eastern and Central Africa. It is said to be founded in 900 AD. For context, this is the same century when: Charlemagne the Great was crowned Emperor of the West by Pope Leo III; Algebra was invented; the Danish Vikings sacked London; and Viking chieftain, Rurik, led raids on Northern Russia and founded the first significant dynasty in Russian history called the Rurik Dynasty.

I was a little anxious about doing this trip alone but everyone was so friendly and I had so much fun. I opted to go snorkelling with a member of the boat crew. We were out for almost an hour and I saw the most amazing marine l upife. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins, although not for long. Lunch on Wasini Island was really good, plenty of food and the service was great. My overnight stay at Shimoni Reef Lodge was just perfect, the staff went out of their way to welcome me and make my stay memorable. The food was wonderful. I took the opportunity to visit the slave caves and was escorted there personally by Nyinge who worked at the Lodge, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique two day experience

5. 7 Days 6 Nights Diani SGR – Adventure Package

Mara Nomads Safaris

The southern part of Mombasa, popularly known as South Coast, is a less traveled, quieter area than the immediately north of Mombasa (“North Coast”), partially due to its logistical dislocation from the island-bound city, to which it is connected not by a road bridge but by the steady-but-slow Likoni ferry service. South Coast has a more rustic feel than the vibrant, boisterous, ever awake North Coast, with quieter, very clean, pristine beaches, a national Park with the highest density of elephants in Kenya, sky diving and much more.

Inclusions: Dinner, Breakfast, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dinner, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Lunch, Lunch, Dinner, Lunch, Breakfast, Game drives, Entrance and Park fees, All transfers and all local transportation including SGR Train return ticket, All accommodation (including before and at the end of the tour)

Beware the traffic and bumpy roads in Nairobi, but these guides and drivers make it such a pleasure to travel. In the short time I had I was able to see all the animals. Everything that exists in Kenya we saw! Lions, Zebras, Giraffes ( beautiful,graceful giraffes, ) Buffaloes, wild beast, impalas, gazelle and all the rest of the family. I wanted to see hippopotamuses, we saw plenty. Thank you so very much, it was wonderful and I can’t wait to come back for more!
