Step by Step

Stroll through the spectacular streets of Nairobi and discover every corner of Kenya's capital while supporting a good cause. By taking part in this walking tour guided by children from the Nai Naimi social programme, you are supporting a project that aims to provide work, resources and a future for underprivileged children in Nairobi.

As people who have spent much of their lives on the streets of this city, there is no better local guide to get to know the essentials of Nairobi. With their company you can see some of the iconic sights that populate Kenya's capital. One of them is the Jeevanjee Gardens, a spectacular urban park located in the heart of the city's financial district, whose gardens were founded by an Asian-born businessman, after whom the park is named.

You can also see the Railway Museum, located next to the city's railway station. Opened in 1971, it contains exhibits from the defunct East African Railway. Also the Karikor area, where there is an impressive market.

Another place to visit is the August 7th Memorial Park, which commemorates the 1998 US embassy bombing. It's located at the exact site of the attack, on Haile Selassie Avenue in Nairobi, and contains a board with the names of all the people who died in the aftermath of the incident.

In addition, you will learn about the exciting and exciting stories of overcoming and development of these boys who now tell you all about their city. The activity includes a local lunch.
