The King of Beasts in Nairobi 🦁✨

On my last day in Nairobi, I visited the Nairobi Museum—a must-see, since Africa is the cradle of humankind. The exhibits detail Kenya’s history and feature impressive animal specimens 🦒🐘. Next door, a snake park lets you handle reptiles (if you dare!) 🐍🦎. Then, I headed to KICC (Kenyatta International Convention Centre), the city’s iconic skyscraper. The 360° rooftop view is breathtaking 🏙️🌆. This area is Nairobi’s equivalent of a CBD—filled with civil servants and corporate workers in sharp (if not designer) suits 👔💼. Students in British-style uniforms reminded me: Education is the finest adornment 🎓📚. Lunch at Connect Café was a highlight—their coffee was superb ☕, and the panini & waffles? Delicious 🥪🧇. Highly recommend! Built in the 1970s, the 32-floor KICC was once a marvel—China barely had skyscrapers that grand back then. Yet today, Nairobi feels frozen in time ⏳, while we’ve leaped ahead. We assume history moves linearly (or at least in spirals), but sometimes it just… stops. Or even backtracks. The world keeps turning—stagnate, and you fall behind 🎡. So no matter the environment, adaptation is key. While others idle, even crawling forward counts as progress 🐢🚀. #Kenya #KenyaTravel #TravelDiaries #Nairobi 🇰🇪🌍
