My Perfect Day in Nairobi! ✈️

📍 National Museum of Kenya 🎟️ 1200KES entry: Cash payment requires passport registration at reception first. Pro tip: Have them generate the order, take a photo, then pay via M-Pesa at the crafts shop across! 🗣️ 500KES English tour guide (we tipped 1000KES for two): No fixed price - it's essentially a tip! Our guide gave brilliant insights into human origins, Kenyan wildlife, and national history. Worth every shilling! 📍 Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) 🏢 500KES entry: UN Africa HQ (UNEP & Habitat offices). Cards/M-Pesa only - no cash! 🌆 27th floor panoramic views: Snapped a cheeky "I'm at a UN meeting" photo in a conference room 😄 The security guard was hilarious - no photos of him, but happy to take pics with us! 📍 Maasai Market 🛍️ Location changes daily (today right by KICC): Stall owners are enthusiastic - bring your A-game bargaining skills! 💸 Pro haggling results: • 2 bowls: Asked 8500KES → Paid 300KES • 3 fridge magnets: Asked 1500KES → Paid 750KES (Your mileage may vary - it's an art form!) 📍 Village Market 🛒 Upscale shopping complex: Crafts are pricier but more refined than Maasai Market. Food court heaven! 🦏 Carrefour gem: • Rhino/Lion/Elephant shopping bags (Small 26KES, Large 39KES) • Fresh juice 225KES • Bonus: They give exact change! Kenyan coins make perfect souvenirs (20=🐘, 10=🦁, 5=🦏, 1=🦒) 📍 Lunch at Connect Coffee ☕ Kilimanjaro coffee & mango shake: Heavenly! 🥑 Avocado & mango: So fresh they'll ruin all future fruit for you! 🚗 Getting around: Uber everywhere - affordable with super friendly drivers! Final thoughts: Nairobi serves history, culture, shopping and gastronomy all in one vibrant package. From ancient fossils to UN meetings, from market haggling to gourmet coffee - this city keeps surprising! 🌍✨ #NoEarlyRiseTravelDiary #Nairobi #Kenya #KenyaTravel #ReadingTheWorldOnePageAtATime
