Nairobi This Weekend
Twende! · Updated Friday 2 October 2026
Every Thursday we sift the posters, the group chats and the gallery mailers so you don't have to. Here's where Nairobi is actually going this weekend, and if you want the full grid, sorted by category, it lives on Twende!, our what's-on hub.
Friday 2 October
Nothing locked in yet, check Twende! for updates.
Saturday 3 October
Plants, preloved finds and very good dogs, five minutes from the hotel, all for the animals.
Sunday 4 October
Beadwork, carvings, kikoys. Bring your bargaining voice.
Vintage, vinyl, streetwear and street food, Sunday after Sunday.
All weekend
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.
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.
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.
