Carnivore Restaurant
An outing to this restaurant, just outside the city, is an essential part of any visit to Nairobi. Nairobi's most famous nyama choma (literally ‘roast meat') restaurant no longer serves plains game, but you can still dine on camel, ostrich and crocodile cooked over giant barbecue pits. There is also an open-air nightclub, the Simba Saloon, and live music venue here.
