Free entry, secondhand books and a proper market spread across the Museum courtyard, easy to lose an hour in.
One comedian, a room full of characters, Jaymo Decin's solo show lands at KICC for the night.
A long-running group show about fixing what's broken: objects, cities, us.
Lions before breakfast, 30 minutes from your bed. We arrange private drives and park transfers, so ask the front desk.

The full, filterable list, with everything coming up, lives on Twende!, our what's-on hub, and the weekend digest on Nairobi This Weekend.
Karen puts you ten minutes from giraffes, twenty from the racecourse, thirty from Westlands, and a world away when you want quiet. Rooms at Karen Plains Hotel from the team that wrote this guide.
