Description

Step away from Nairobi’s busy main roads and discover a side of the city that most visitors never see. This walking tour takes you deep into the heart of the city’s creative pockets, quiet alleyways, and vibrant cultural corners overlooked by traditional sightseeing routes. Begin with a convenient hotel pickup within Nairobi’s city center. As you drive or walk to your starting point, your guide introduces you to Nairobi’s history and the lesser-known forces that shaped its modern identity. Unlike typical tours that focus solely on landmarks and monuments, this experience offers a richer, more intimate connection to the city—one that blends culture, creativity, and everyday life. Once on foot, begin exploring narrow alleyways decorated with bright murals created by local artists. These pieces of street art tell stories of Kenyan identity, social change, and urban expression. Your guide will explain the meaning behind selected artworks, share insights into Nairobi’s creative communities, and highlight the rising local artists bringing color to the city’s walls. Learn how street art has become an essential form of communication and storytelling within Nairobi’s evolving urban culture. Continue through small artisan shops where you can meet skilled craftspeople who specialize in handmade jewelry, leatherwork, textiles, and traditional African designs. These workshops often operate quietly behind the scenes, away from crowded tourist markets, giving you an authentic glimpse into Nairobi’s artistic heartbeat. Whether you’re browsing or simply observing, gain an appreciation for the craftsmanship and cultural heritage behind each unique piece.
