Bomas
of Kenya offers you "Kenya in a miniature".
It lets you see the wonderful diversity of cultures
that make up Kenya. The term Bomas, meaning "homestead",
are displayed on your tour; each represent one of
Kenya's major ethnic groups, and is built to the original
traditional architecture of an African home as built
by the ancestors. A Boma is a homestead and just a
few kilometers from Nairobi, we have the Bomas of
Kenya.
Here
you will experience the rich culture of Kenya’s
42 different ethnic groups as they live on their day-to-day
basis. This is clearly demonstrated through traditional
dances, music, song, and folklore. There is a splendid
arena where acrobatic shows are performed.
The
Bomas of Kenya put on displays of traditional dancers
and spread over many acres, it also has a wonderful
display of mud huts and traditional Kenyan homesteads.
The Bomas of Kenya is the ideal place to bring energetic
children as they can freely run in and out of the
traditional houses & mud huts, climb up ladders
and generally have a wonderfully active time. These
traditional houses are set out in clusters according
to the region. The homes are grouped with the first
wife's hut, second wife's hut, granary etc. and you
can see where the livestock are kept and the enormous
variety between the nuts.
Bomas
of Kenya was initiated in 1971 after Kenya's independence
(1964) and it is run by the Kenyan Government and
aims to promote Kenya's rich cultural heritage. In
addition to the main attractions (the dancers and
the traditional homesteads), there is also a large,
wooden play area for young children, a small, low-key
village of craft shops and other attractions. The
Centre is set up for conferences and can offer cultural
shows for audiences of up to 300 people.
