Top Nairobi Art & Culture Classes

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.

Not only will you tour but you get to learn a lot during the tour at each venue that you visit for example you will learn about different types of giraffes and what part of Kenya they are found as you feed them snacks, learn about the history of Kazuri beads and what inspired the foundation of the organisation and finally learn in deep through music on Kenya traditional social, economic and political activities. All this helps you understand more on conservation of wildlife, culture and environment in general.
