Nairobi
AsiaSpa Magazine|November - December 2018

When people think of Kenya, they often imagine the big five roaming freely over vast savannahs and the wildebeest migration galloping in from Tanzania. Bustling Nairobi barely gets a look in, acting only as a pit stop before animal lovers head off on safari. But scratch the surface of Kenya’s capital and you’re in for a treat

8AM

Start your stopover at the feel-good Kazuri Beads & Pottery Centre in the suburb of Karen. Established by an English expat in 1975 the centre teaches single mothers to become self-sufficient. A free tour takes you through the factory and steps of production of the quality marketable crafts which have changed these women’s lives. The gift shop is lined with a range of beaded jewellery and pottery with part-proceeds going back into the centre.

9AM

In keeping with the feel-good vibe, the Giraffe Centre is a short drive from the beads. The centre protects and rears the endangered Rothschild’s giraffe, the tallest animal in the world, and reintroduces them into their natural habitat. Pushed to the edge of distinction, they now number over 300. Grab a handful of giraffe feed and receive a wet bristled mouth-to-hand kiss. There’s also a self-guided forest walk for a ‘getting back to nature’ boost.

10AM
