Description

Begin with a smooth hotel pickup, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free start to the day. As you head into central Nairobi, your guide—an expert in Kenyan history and cultural storytelling—will introduce you to the key themes of Kenya’s independence movement. Gain context about British colonial rule, the rise of resistance leaders, and the social forces that ultimately led the nation toward self-governance in 1963.

Kimathi, a central figure of the Mau Mau movement, represents resilience, bravery, and unwavering dedication to independence.
