Top Nairobi Art & Culture Classes

Engage with Kenya’s rich cultural tapestry through a lively dance performance that showcases traditional dances from multiple Kenyan communities. Set in the vibrant Maasai Collections in Nairobi, this experience features rhythmic music and expressive movements performed by local dancers dressed in colorful attire. Each dance tells a unique story, enriched by explanations that reveal the significance of music and dance in ceremonies and daily life. After the show, take the opportunity to explore the on-site shop, filled with handmade crafts, from jewelry to textiles, supporting local artisans and preserving traditional craftsmanship.

Most cultural tours in Kenya focus on either music or cuisine; during this unique hybrid package in Nairobi, you’ll experience both. Learn how to play traditional Kenyan drums while preparing classic recipes within an intimate group capped at just 10 participants. Then, listen to Kenyan stories as you share a meal together, with options available for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

Utamaduni, meaning culture, tradition, folklore, is situated close to the Karen Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, Daphne Sheldrick Animal Orphanage, the Nairobi National Park and Kazuri Beads. It encompasses the best of african crafts and is dedicated to supporting craftsmen from all over Kenya. It supports various charities including the KSPCA and Street boys (who actually have their own shop in the center). There is also a small restaurant where one can stop for a quick bite. Later visit the Kazuri bead factory, a producer of top quality handmade and hand painted ceramic jewelry and pottery. The workshop has been set up to empower women in need by employing them and teaching them a skill.
