City Art Tour: Class is in Session
A deviation from the usual weekend hiking trips drifters are often treated to, the City Art Tour is a curated experience of Nairobi artistry, rich history and Kenyan culture. Nairobi is a city of peculiarities. Small things like the manner of speaking and the manner of doing things that is unique to Kenyans. These are just the tip of the ice berg, there is a lot more to see once the curtain is pulled back. Unlike before when people had to go to the museums among other places to experience art, we are entering an age where a mere walk on the street is an art experience. With so many choosing to do murals on the sides of their buildings. We are a country of expressive people and it shows. The City Art tour is an exploration of all Nairobi and Kenya has to offer.
Key Attractions
- Each chapter of the City Art Tour is a different experience. In collaboration with Karibu Nairobi, drifters are able to experience different sides of the city and country each time. The culmination of which is a day of learning about Kenyan heritage and hanging with like-minded and equally curious people.
- The City Art Tour may not be a weekend hiking trip but there will be some movement as you traverse the city in search of different pieces of Kenyan history.
- To kick things up a notch, the City Art Tours usually involve a trivia designed to ignite competition among the drifters for a livelier day as the group enjoys different elements of city living.
Challenge Level
