内罗毕是个生动、有趣的国际化大都市,城市绿树成荫、花团锦簇,有“阳光下的绿城”之称。

Kenya's capital city of Nairobi has some spectacular yet little known tourist destinations that one can easily miss.In addition,as the city establishes itself as a leading conference tourism destination in Africa, these gems hidden around the city are best suited for such visitors.Without having to travel far from the city,such visitors can take a short drive and enjoy Kenya's rich tourism resources.

One such attraction is the Giraffe Centre. Located approximately 10 km from the city center,the Giraffe Centre offers visitors the opportunity to get up close and personally with these tall and friendly giants. Visitors can use an elevated feeding platform that allows them to feed the giraffes.

Another overlooked but refreshing site for visitors in Nairobi is the climb to the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC) rooftop for a scenic view of the city.Once the tallest building in Nairobi,the KICC rooftop,offers a 360-degree view of the city,spanning the central business district and the city horizon in all directions.

A stone's throw from the KICC rooftop sits another tourist destination. Situated at the edge of the central business district in downtown Nairobi, the Kenya National Archives houses the Murumbi Gallery which is considered the largest Pan-African art gallery in Africa, and it contains ancient art collections from different regions and communities of Africa. Established in 1965, the Kenya National Archives also holds more than 40,000 volumes of public records including archival material,many once confidential.
