Lovely museum in the city. The beginnings of Africa, an exhibit of the Tribes of Africa by Joy Adamson, and also some of the artifacts from the Leaky's excavations.
We enjoyed our time at the national museum, particularly the snake exhibition. As museums go, the price was very reasonable at ksh600 per resident for a combined snake and museum ticket. We also found the restaurant to be reasonably priced too. Unfortunately, our time was...More
I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the museum and had a great guide who was able to answer all of the questions that I bombarded him with as some of the cultural exhibits are wonderful and it was good to get the whole story of...More
