Twende! Daily · Tuesday, 25 August 2026
Whatever kind of day you're after, Nairobi has it on. Our shortlist:
Artists from the Lake Victoria basin, on their way and worth yours.
Two closing-soon shows — Birhane Worede and Anita Kavochy — at East Africa's sharpest gallery.
A Sudanese master digs into memory at the storied Banana Hill space.
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 — ask the front desk.
Eye to eye with a Rothschild giraffe, ten minutes from the hotel. The classic Karen morning.
50km of running, riding and walking trails plus a waterfall. Nairobi's green lung.
Last week — hands-on art for kids and teens at the creative village next door.
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.
