Why locals recommend it
This museum right in the middle of the city got a big EU grant a few years ago so it’s full of interesting displays on Kenya’s tribes and wildlife. Some of them are interactive, which is always fun for kids. It’s also home to some of the oldest human fossils ever discovered, which are well worth seeing. There’s also a snake park on-site. Ahmed’s skeleton and life-size replica model. Ahmed was an elephant who had the longest tusks Kenya has ever known, and was given special protection by the President until his death.
