Hell's Gate National Park
from 1 review
From USD 167.00
With a name like Hell's Gate, it's no wonder this park is less-visited than others in Kenya. Take the chance to visit one of the few parks you can walk in on this Nairobi tour that also includes a visit to the Elsamere Conservation Centre where you'll be tempted to sing 'Born Free'.

Public Holidays
Place: Nairobi - [ 10/10/2014 ]
Festivals around National Holidays
In Kenya, National Public Holidays are important occasions for local residents who come from all corners and usually attend in large numbers. The principal reason for most of them is the entertainment which is both directed to the public and largely to the President and Political Leaders in attendance. Presentations of Traditional Dancers and acrobatics, Poetry and music, plays and skits, the armed forces, Police, Navy and air force, local choirs from schools and other government and non goverment institutions. The events are usually held at the Nairobi based Sports Stadiums or at the Uhuru Gardens near the CBD. Such public Holidays include
Moi Day - 10th October every year
Kenyatta Day - 20th October every year
Independence Day - 12th December every year

04 Apr 2010 This was an excellent introduction to Nairobi - great experience using the public transport especially! My guide was knowledgeable and I felt relaxed and comfortable the whole time. I've never been on a tour that makes you feel like one of the locals instead of a 'tourist'.
