Get a guide - it’s free, though tip if yours was excellent as ours was. History of Kenya, history/bones of early humans, animals, culture, it’s a one stop shop for learning about Kenya!

avoid weekdays especially Fridays...unless of course you can enjoy art with school children running around the museum .

The elephant cast in the inner courtyard that was anti-poaching symbol. The maasai and tribal pelt capes. The bird room. The skull evolution collection.

Definitely spring for a guide--you learn so much more. Derrick is the best!

Come prepared with a topped-up M-PESA account, or at least Kenyan shillings to deposit. Cash not accepted, so convenience fee is mandatory. Expect a long wait to purchase a ticket.
