Nairobi See & Do Guide: Bomas of Kenya

Bomas of Kenya

Sightseeing - Museums
Forest Edge Road, off Langata Road, Nairobi, Kenya
Phone: 891-802;

<I>Boma means "homestead," and this open-air museum features guided tours of 11 different styles of traditional houses in Kenya. You can also watch a performance of authentic, traditional dance and song. The restaurant serves nyama choma, a grilled-meat meal that is probably Kenya's national festive delicacy outside of the home. This place may seem quite touristy to some, and it is overpriced, although the dancing is good. Monday-Friday 2:30-4 pm, Saturday and Sunday 3:30-5:30 pm. 600 KSh adults, 300 KSh children. Forest Edge Road, off Langata Road (less than a mile/kilometer past the main entrance to the Animal Orphanage and Nairobi National Park), Nairobi. Phone 891-802; alternate numbers are 891-801 or 890-793.
