The elephant orphanage was also fantastic, getting so close to the babies and hearing all their stories. We also stopped for lunch at a beautiful almost hidden cafe where the food and surroundings were lovely. Thanks for a great day Stephen 😊”

Spend about five hours exploring Bomas of Kenya from Nairobi, with hotel pickup, an English-speaking guide, traditional homes, music, dance, storytelling, and acrobatics. The group is capped at eight. Guides such as Calvin and Stephen have led warm, informative outings, but allow time for possible shopping stops and delays.

“Better go by yourself there, dont buy a tour. first they take you to the souvenir market, then to another. I met my tour guide at 1pm and the show itself started at 3.30pm. After i finished my shopping guide completely lost interest in me. Show itself was fine, but way less spectacular than i expected.”

You’ll travel from Nairobi to Bomas of Kenya for a three-hour cultural visit with an English-speaking guide, traditional dance performances, and replica homesteads linked to Kenya’s 42 tribes. Pickup and drop-off are included, but confirm the site has reopened fully, since recent visits found the homesteads under reconstruction.

“The Bomas experience was not as advertised in that Bomas is under reconstruction so was not available. We were only informed of this fact 3 hours before we were due to be picked up so we paid full price only to see the traditional dancing . The dancers were terrific in a show lasting one hour . We spent 2hours 30 minutes in the transport there and back for the 1 hour show !!! My advice to anyone looking to book is DONT; check on google if the venue has reopened first before you pay the full amount. I’m sure we won’t be offered a reduction for our 82 euros…”

Start with Nairobi hotel pickup at 1pm, then explore Bomas of Kenya’s traditional homesteads before watching Kenyan dance, music, storytelling, and acrobatics. An English-speaking guide explains the cultural displays. Confirm the venue is open before paying, as one recent booking was redirected during renovation.

“we felt cheated. Bomas of Kenya is closed for renovation from past few weeks yet you are booking for it. You should have clearly not put this up for booking. Your partner picked us in a non AC cab and took us to another location where some show for one hour was performed in a small tent. This is not expected from an international app like yours which is on trust request you to refund the full amount paid.”
