History
Bomas of Kenya was established to preserve and showcase the country’s ethnic dance and music traditions, while Nairobi Safari Walk was created to educate urban visitors about national parks and tree species.
Conservation
Both the Safari Walk and the orphanage emphasize education and rehabilitation—respect site rules, avoid single-use plastics, and do not feed wildlife to reduce human–animal conflict.
