Top 5 Activities for a Rainy Day in Nairobi

Let’s face it – no one wants to step outside when the weather in Nairobi is crappy. When it's raining, you miss out on fun outdoor activities that you would otherwise indulge in on weekends and evenings after work or school. But in case you didn’t know, Nairobi has a host of indoor activities that can be just as fun any time you feel like going out. 

Visit a Casino

There are a good number of casinos in Nairobi to choose from. If you're feeling lucky, perhaps it’s time you enjoyed gambling while it's chilly outside. With all these fun activities, there's no need to get stuck in a room when the weather refuses to cooperate. Have a great weekend with family and friends at some of the best casinos in the city, including Sunrise Casinos and Cameo Casino.

Visit the National Theatre

You’re missing a lot if you’ve never taken the time to go and watch a local play at the Kenya National Theatre. The Goethe Institute also offers a variety of plays that are good for entertainment if you're looking for ways to spend time with a couple of friends. Just make sure you book the tickets a couple of days beforehand. Most of them run out pretty fast and you might miss a chance to watch talented actors and actresses in Kenya.

Visit a Museum

Visiting a local museum in Nairobi on those cold weekends is far from boring. You can start by visiting the National Museum of Kenya, which is easy to access from the CBD. Learn a thing or two about our history and culture while at the museum. Go ahead and visit the Karen Blixen Museum and check out its serene gardens, majestic views of the Ngong Hills and take a breath of fresh air.

Wine & Dine

Depending on the kind of menu you prefer and your budget, you can eat lunch or enjoy dinner at any of the top restaurants in Nairobi. Walk into Transit Hotels and try a new dish you’ve never had before. If you're looking to grab a snack with a couple of friends, joints such as KFC and Subway University Way offer some amazing burgers and French fries to keep you warm and boost your energy. Alternatively, visit an Italian or Chinese restaurant in Nairobi to try out different cuisine. Whether breakfast, lunch or dinner, it’s never too rainy or sunny to eat.

Enjoy Kenyan Tea or Coffee

Do you know how famous Kenyan tea and coffee is? You better appreciate ethically sourced Kenyan coffee and tea during those cold months. You can enjoy your drink in the comfort of your own home or walk into a place like Java where they serve the best coffees. You’ll probably find yourself taking a cup or two in a bid to fight the cold.
