On the weekends you will be able to go ride bikes through Hells Gate as giraffe and gazelle run right beside you. For the adventurous hikers out there, be sure to visit Nairobi’s volcano, Mt Longonot, in the breathtaking Great Rift Valley.  It is located just a couple hours outside of the city and from here you can head over to Lake Naivasha where you can go visit the flamingos and hippos or even go for a kayak ride through the lake. If you find yourself ready to head out of town for long weekend, planning an epic African safari is a must! There is nothing more incredible that one of Masi Mara’s, once in a lifetime, safari adventures. Take a weekend to go visit some private secluded beaches in Lake Victoria or head to the coast to the beautiful sandy beaches of Mombasa. Maybe you only have the time for a quick day trip? You can visit Nairobi’s monkey park, only located about 25 minutes out of town,  where you can play, feed, and relax in a beautiful park with the cute mischievous primates. Not to much further down the road is the Giraffe Center. Here, you can be up close and personal, and maybe even steal a kiss from one of Kenya’s endangered Rothschild Giraffes.
