Lake Victoria
Nairobi Safari Walk
Consider visiting during the weekday instead of the weekend. It was way less crowded when I went on a Tuesday, and I had a more relaxing experience.
Wear comfortable shoes; the paths can get a bit rocky and uneven. I wish I'd brought better footwear because I ended up with sore feet by the end of the day!
Don't rush through; take your time to walk the trails and observe. I almost missed a cool family of monkeys because I was hurrying to the next exhibit.
Uhuru Park
If you're into photography, try to get there around 4 PM for the golden hour. The light is just perfect for snapping those beautiful park views.
Be mindful of the entrance fees! I was caught off guard, so check online beforehand to know how much cash to bring.
Nairobi National Park
If you want to avoid the big groups, try visiting the Nairobi Railway Museum on a weekday. It felt much more personal and I could take my time exploring without being rushed. Saturdays get packed!
Thompson Falls Nyahururu
Nyali Beach
My advice is to pack your own snacks and drinks. Beachside food can be pricey, and I found some cute little cafes that are reasonably priced but they were a bit far from the beach
Giraffe Centre
Tsavo East National Park
I suggest visiting during the early morning around 6 am. The animals are super active then, plus the light for photos is just stunning.
My advice is to bring snacks and water for the road. The drive can be long and you never know when you'll hit a decent spot to eat.
Bamburi Beach
Mama Ngina Waterfront
My advice is to wear comfy shoes. The walk along the waterfront is long and you might want to explore every corner. I regretted it when my feet started to ache!
