<p>A Nairobi Tour will leave you, quite knowledgeable of Kenya&#8217;s History from the 1900s to date. It&#8217;s quite interesting to learn about several historical stories of the Nation&#8217;s capital. The railway museum is quite the backbone of who Nairobi is today. The Monuments to have a story to tell, and then there are the streets, roads and avenues of Nairobi that too tell the nostalgic narrative of our beloved country. Finally, phrase one of my tour ends at the KICC, and the view from the top at the helipad brings to life all the day&#8217;s stories of this lovely city.</p>
<p>Have a peep on what we got to see at the Railway Museum</p>
