Bomas of Kenya

Langata, Nairobi Daily cultural shows

Bomas of Kenya recreates traditional homesteads (bomas) from communities across the country, so families can walk through and see how different Kenyan peoples lived. The highlight is the daily performance of traditional music, dance and acrobatics in the large auditorium — colourful, energetic and a real cultural education for kids. It's one of the best places to introduce children to Kenya's diversity in an afternoon.

Good to know: Check the show start time before you travel and aim to arrive 30 minutes early.
