Shri Swaminarayan Mandir

An important landmark as well as a gathering point for the East Africa Swaminarayan Satsang (EASS) community, this temple is also renowned for being the first such mandir outside the Indian subcontinent, built of stones transported straight from the country of Hinduism's origins.

Do & See

Nairobi may be the safari capital of the world, but you'll find that there's so much more to it: learn about rich Kenyan history or the life and traditions of the bomas communities, and immerse yourself in the plenty of fun and creative activities this vibrant city has to offer.

Wildlife

Although Nairobi is a perfect place to base yourself for any excursion in Kenya (Serengeti National Park in Tanzania takes no longer than a one-hour flight or a few hours' drive), fact is that you don't even have to set foot out of the city to find yourself in the midst of African wilderness.
