Bomas of Kenya is a tourist village in Langata, Nairobi. Bomas
(homesteads) displays traditional villages belonging to the several
Kenyan tribes.
It
was established by the government in 1971 as a subsidiary company of
Kenya Tourist Development Corporation as a tourist attraction. It also
wanted to preserve, maintain and promote rich and diverse cultural
values of various tribal groups of Kenya.
The
institution is located 10 Kms from the capital city. This means it is
very accessible from the many international hotels and conference
facilities in Nairobi. The fact that is near the major international
and local airports- Jomo Kenyatta and Wilson Airport means it also very
accessible to international and domestic tourists. It is also located
next to the game filled Nairobi National Park. Thus one can combine
cultural-wildlife-town tour circuits.
