RECOMMENDATIONS
MORNINGA beautiful day would start with a cup of freshly brewed hot Kenyan coffee or tea at the hotels Plantation restaurant with the Chef's Special room service breakfast from the hotel. An early morning game drive around the park will take you to various points which include the hippo point, the park view point and the famous ivory burning site monument - famed for the torching of 10 tons of ivory worth Kshs. 60 million, in a bid to eliminate the mass slaughter of Africa's elephants for their tusks. The National Park gives you a feel of the wildnerness and is the ideal spot for nature lovers. Share the early morning savanna chill with the predators as they stealthily hunt their prey. Enjoy the magical Kenyan sunrise as the rest of the park slowly sprouts to life with a robust variety of wild animals. |
AFTERNOONEnjoy a sumptuous lunch under the shades and cool breeze of the Karen Blixen Gardens , this would be ideal as you unwind the morning events while you watch the birds and butterflies as you dine. On week-ends and holidays numerous live music groups featuring African Music or Easy Listening Music play for additional enjoyment or relaxed dining by the fish pond with waterfall. Karen Blixen Cottages is only three kilometres from the Institute of Primate Research, an 800 acre designated wildlife sanctuary managed by the National Museums of Kenya.

The relaxed indoor/outdoor atmosphere, delectable snacks and the pulsating rhythms of Africa blend to guarantee an exciting ambiance. A must try for the young and young at heart! |
LOCAL CULTUREDRESS CODEThe dress code in Nairobi is multi cultural and relatively relaxed. In rural areas For ladies however,avoid transparent or overly revealing clothing as Conservative hemlines in ladies fashions are appreciated. GREETINGSMost social interactions begin with a greeting. It is considered rude and disrespectful not to greet someone with a shake of the hand. Telephone conversations will often start with a polite greeting and an inquiry into one's health. PHOTOGRAPHSPhotography of the State House government institutions & military installations is prohibited in some cases. It is polite to always ask before taking pictures of local people. SAFETYIt is advisable to avoid wearing jewellery and talking to strangers. The use of hotel taxis is highly recommended and it is probably safer to avoid walking in the city after 6pm. |
