Twende! Daily · Thursday, 17 September 2026

New day, new plans. These are the ones worth leaving the garden for.

The Great Repair
The Mall, Munyu Space, Westlands · Gallery hours

A long-running group show about fixing what's broken: objects, cities, us.

Sunrise Game Drive, Nairobi National Park
Nairobi National Park · 6:00 AM gates

Lions before breakfast, 30 minutes from your bed. We arrange private drives and park transfers, so ask the front desk.

Giraffe Centre Visit
Giraffe Centre, Karen · 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Eye to eye with a Rothschild giraffe, ten minutes from the hotel. The classic Karen morning.

Karura Forest Trails
Karura Forest, Limuru Rd · 6:00 AM – 6:00 PM

50km of running, riding and walking trails plus a waterfall. Nairobi's green lung.

The full, filterable list, with everything coming up, lives on Twende!, our what's-on hub, and the weekend digest on Nairobi This Weekend.

Make a weekend of it.

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.
