Kenya has celebrities, but if there is one who lives her life in style is none other than Vera Sidika.
The socialite cum business woman has been known for quite some time now to be a pacesetter, setting standards for her competitors and those looking up to her.
Eliminating Vera Sidika and Akothee on the list might be the end of our list for those celebrities whose lifestyle is envied by many.
The Theme of Vera Sidika’s Baby Shower was Pink
How much Vera Sidika Spent
Recently, Vera held a baby shower party to which she claims through her Instagram page to have spent more than 800,000 Kenyan shillings, damn!!! Can Huddah Monroe even afford such??!
Spending more than 7200USD is not a common thing in Kenya. Even the Kenyatta family hasn’t done such a thing and if they have then we are not aware.
Regardless of the fact that Sidika brags of how much she spent on her baby shower, some attendees maybe haters claim that there was not food for the guests. I don’t believe this but mine is not to judge but just informing.
Vera Sidika “Shikwekwe” is not known for keeping quite and this was her response.
Vera Sidika responding to haters
These ladies, according to Vera, tried to tarnish her name once she realized she didn’t need any financial assistance with her event.
They the realized there was. Now went to make stories to make it look I am a begger. Begging people for money. Lmaooo
Vera Sidika explaining herself
These ladies were apparently envious of her easy victory, which led to false allegations about her baby shower being held at Kevin Obia’s opulent home. Vera then went on to comment on her gram to the alleged detractors, saying:
100k abi? The same person that spends 60k on lunch at a five star restaurant in one day. The one you claim begged 100k for baby shower?
Are you mad? Did that baby shower look worth $1000? Do you even know how much I spent on the decor alone?
Here is a screenshot just to prove;
Don’t panic if this is way out of your league, soon God is gonna bless you and spending Ksh. 800k might not be an issue. My advice is don’t fake it! stay true to yourself.
The Pulse Influencer Awards ceremony went down Saturday 9th of October 2021 at the Pride Inn Azure hotel in Nairobi and invited guests did disappoint! Especially our Kenyan influencers! Ctone Media is honestly disappointed with how our Kenyan “celebrities” rocked the red carpet. None showed up in designer clothes! We would be wrong not to let you know how our so called celebrities ‘walituangusha’. Surely, who wears Vans and denim to a red carpet? How i wish they would invest in their closets.

When a couple discovers that they are expecting their first child, they know (hopefully) that they are in for some tremendous changes. This is the case no matter their age, no matter the size of their home or their income, and no matter how long they have been married. That the birth of the first child marks a time of incredible changes to a couple’s lifestyle and priorities is a universal truth
That first year certainly i certainty a doozy. But looking back, you’ll able to see things that helped you get through it as well as things you could have done better.
The Stress Factor
While the birth of a new baby is indisputably miraculous, the demands are daunting, making the first year as exhausting as it is exhilarating. Pride and joy jostle with sleep deprivation, frantic scheduling, marital issues, and work pressures. It’s a tidal wave effect. Adding a new family member is supposed to be a happy event, so people underestimate the profound stress of two people in one magical moment becoming three. It’s no wonder that about 80% of new mothers experience some sort of mood disturbance, ranging from the baby blues to postpartum depression.
Fortunately, most new parents find creative solutions and support from friends and family to help ease the transition. It’s critical to have your own coping strategies so you don’t end up feeling totally overwhelmed.
“When my daughter Sabrina was born, I went from being in control to realizing I was on a roller-coaster ride for the rest of my life waiting to find out what was around the next corner. I felt pushed down in the hierarchy of importance with my wife and yet was simultaneously required to do so much more.
First, I switched jobs to a family-friendly company that understood the needs of a new father. I also discovered a neighborhood park that I went to on weekends with Sabrina. It was a way for me to connect with other dads and put things in perspective. And I got closer with my parents. My mom shared her parenting wisdom, and my dad shared his cooking skills by making a meal for us once a week. It was a huge help. It was like I transcended my childhood because my parents and I were all in the same boat now.”– Kenny Odhiambo, 28, marketing executive, Nairobi City, father of Sabrina.
Finding Balance
“My emotions were all over the place. I felt off-center, like I couldn’t breathe. At the same time this was happening, I saw several beautiful celebrities in magazine spreads who’d just had babies and looked slim and fit mere weeks after giving birth.
I thought, they’re taking time for themselves, why aren’t I? It really motivated me. I wasn’t ready to conquer the physical yet because I knew the emotional had to come first, so I started doing energy-balancing work called Flow Alignment and Connection. You lie there on a massage table and essential oils are rubbed all over you. The goal is to find blocked energy points and to work on those areas. It’s very subtle but extremely powerful. It made me feel renewed and peaceful. I felt like a person again.”– Mary Wamboi, 36, stay-at-home mom, Mombasa City, mother of Jamie, 1
A person who takes too many selfies, seems to only talk about themselves when you are together, and interrupts you constantly when you are speaking could be a narcissist!
As we had to 2026, the goal should be creating an evironment that is healthy enough for you to prosper.
Having a narcisistic person around will not help that, in this article, we are going to explore six most common characters that will help you spot a narcisist even from a mile away.
Do they only talk about themselves? Are they always taking selfies when you’re supposed to be hanging out? Do they constantly interrupt you? You might be dating a narcissist.
A narcissist is described as a person who has an excessive interest in or admiration of themselves. Narcissists can be incredibly harmful people to have relationships with.
I know at this point you are asking yourself questions like, “Is it bad for someone to have self-admiration?” No its not, unless they are narcissists! How can you know if someone in your life is a narcissist?
I’m not a psychologist, I’m just a blogger, but I have studied this one a little bit simply because I needed to, because of some of my own encounters with people who exhibit some antisocial behaviors.
Being in a relationship with a narcissist is so toxic and most people hardly accept to leave such relationships if they are the ones affected.
It gets toxic and instead of walking out, they stay and think that the toxicity is part of their love story. It’s more psychological torture which is worse than physical torture.
So a narcissist fundamentally is a person who is just extremely self-centered, but there are certain traits that betray their self-centeredness. They have just an extreme, kind of a grandiose view of their own self-importance, they are the center of the universe. Narcissists have enough esteem for themselves and everyone around them. Most people with this disorder aren’t always aware they have it.
Now you won’t pick that out necessarily right from the start in the classic narcissist, because if a narcissist comes across as very self-centered, that’s going to hurt them having any chance of bringing anybody into their circle and to have relationships.
And so they often come across as very charming individuals and maybe even caring individuals, intelligent, but beneath the surface, once you get to know them, you realize that they think that they’re really, really, really important.
And they’ll be sending you clues to let you know that before too long. And if you keep listening to them they’ll be just outright telling you how you can’t get on without them, because they’re just so important. And so they’re living in a bit of a fantasy world where everybody else is expendable, except for them.
Here are signs that you are dating a narcissist:
All about me, me, me!
This you can’t miss. They will cut you short in conversation and constantly deflect back to them. The conversation always revolves around how great they are in a much exaggerated manner. Like “I can’t believe how successful I am, I worked so hard and now look at me.”
It’s all about ‘floss’ mode with narcissists. You must see what they have and how great they are doing! Plus, they sometimes put down others in the process to exaggerate their real or perceived grandiose achievements.
The world owes me this!
They expect preferential treatment when there is no need for it. They will be upset at the slightest aversion from special attention or treatment. When you are on a date, for example, watch how they treat the waiters or support staff. They are more likely to bark orders at them or be extremely rude and condescending to them.
I want you…but I don’t want you
You will always experience a sense of withdrawal or apprehension when you push for a commitment from a narcissist. It will always be a push to remain in the status quo – ‘this works just fine, why label it or make it official?’ They may say or insinuate something deeper, but never actually commit to it. Anything that pins them down and forces them to compromise what they believe is their convenience is unthinkable.
No one’s better than me, including you
Woman reflected in hand mirror
No one can ever be better, or more talented, or earn more, or get more recognition in the eyes and world of a narcissist. It’s them or nothing! If they get into a situation where they may be the less talented or less superior one, they will do anything they can to tear the other person down. They may mock appearance, make passive-aggressive jokes, rudely comment about competence or just tear people down by ridiculing them. Sound familiar?
I’ll hurt you, but I’ll be charming about it
It may sound bizarre because there is nothing wrong with being charming; it is an inherently good trait to have. But remember that narcissists have an end game: to have what they want at any cost, which means you. You are the cost. They will be charming and romantic when they need to be. Very flirtatious, lots of compliments, expensive dates, dinners and grand gestures, just to get what they want out of you.
You’re a toy in my hand…
Narcissists see their partners as tools. Everything they do which, on the surface seems kind and considerate, is an agenda to demonstrate their illusions of grandeur. Sometimes, making sure you join him at his hang out with his boys is to make them jealous of his new girl/boyfriend – not because he wanted to spend quality time with you. Or maybe, when he convinces you to move in together, you pay all the bills and cater to his every need. And when you raise it? The violent reaction will be more than enough to keep you silent.
Narcissistic painting by Paul Griffin
And unfortunately,
Narcissists aren’t quick to learn. When they do fall, it’s everyone else’s fault, it’s not their fault, and they’re just purely the victim. And if you were involved in any way, well, you’re the problem. And people who are soft hearted and empathetic, sometimes take the blame themselves because the narcissist is able to successfully convince them that, “You’re the whole problem here.”
What if there is something I can do next time to tip the odds in my baby’s favour? Because right now, if someone with a medical qualification told me I had to spend my entire pregnancy hopping on one foot while only eating broccoli and whole meal bread, I’d do it if I thought it would raise my chances of giving birth to another healthy baby.
Catherine’s story
Miscarriage is like losing a loved one, which comes with a roller coaster of emotions ranging from sadness to despair. However, unlike other types of deaths, miscarriage can bring about a different type of anger.
Many find it difficult to talk about their loss because the impact of a miscarriage can be devastating. While every person will process loss differently, the range of emotions can include: grief, hopelessness. Sadness, guilt, anger, jealousy (of other parents), intense feelings of loneliness (especially if there are a lot of parents in your social circle)
Note that early pregnancy loss occurs in at least 10 percent of pregnancies. While knowing that many other parents experience miscarriage won’t erase your emotional pain, it may help you feel more comfortable sharing your story and help you manage the loss over the long term.
Different people deal with miscarriage differently. Some women can forget and pick up the pieces, but others blame themselves and question God, the devil, a few enemies and rural aunties with a ‘bad eye.’ Here is a list of Kenyan celebrities who have had miscarriages over the years and how they dealt with it:
Size 8 and DJ Mo.
Last December, Size 8 opened up about her miscarriage a week after speculations that she was pregnant.
“To be honest I’ve cried, I asked God so many questions. I was so angry. My faith in God has been greatly tested. Stories were in many blogs that I was pregnant but I never did really confirm it because it was a battle all the way. So I just wanted to go with the fight privately. But God decided the best lane for me and I lost the pregnancy juzi,” she posted on social media, adding that her family, friends and the church pals supported her recovery.
Size 8 advised all women who have gone through the same that God loves them and knows what’s best.
“To the women who are trusting God for a child, I have so much respect. I think you are stronger than 20 men and God will reward your faith in Him despite the challenges. I will continue to praise God in Jesus name for His faithfulness. Sitaacha kumsifu bwana.”
Unfortunately, the couple have had a second miscarriage just last week. May God see them through these trying times.
Nick Odhiambo and his girlfriend Lydia
Nick Odhiambo wrote on his social media pages: “The countdown to your birthday cut short…Sometimes life just throws you a curve ball!!!.. But it is what it is..lil’ J’lani R.I.P.. My son didn’t make it to see this beautiful world.”
Nana Owiti and King Kaka
Recently, Nana Owiti, the wife to musician King Kaka opened up about her first miscarriage in February 2014. King Kaka even sang about impending fatherhood in Twende, but the experience left Nana confused and angry.
“King had started calling me Mama Gweth long before we planned on having a baby as it was a unisex name. I told him there was no need of starting clinic mapema so we were good. First forward to the 1st of April 2014. I go to the washroom and get a blood stain,” she recalls, adding that it was at the hospital where the doctor did a scan, but the sonographer called another sonographer and she heard “Hakuna!” I asked ‘Hakuna nini?’ and the first sonographer said “hakuna heartbeat.”
Nana said she “died a little” and before leaving the hospital, they asked the medics whether there was anything they could do. The baby was seven weeks old.
Nana told The Nairobian that, at first she was in denial where “you feel robbed, you are angry at the world. It’s hard shaking off persistent sadness, pain, and bitterness but with my partner by my side throughout that journey of healing and accepting to be vulnerable and crying a lot, really did help me.”
Unhappy Couple On Bed
Immediately after miscarriage, you’ll want to take care of yourself while also allowing yourself to grieve. Below are just some of the steps you may want to take:
Allow yourself to express your emotions:
You may feel angry about not getting the chance to meet your baby outside of the womb. You may feel angry at the world over other pregnancies that make it to term. It’s important that you express all of your feelings. It’s normal to feel this way and a natural part of the grieving process. Don’t feel ashamed to grieve.
Rely on friends and loved ones for help:
As you grieve your miscarriage, you may not be able to stick with your normal schedule. Enlist the help of friends and loved ones to help you with chores, pet care, or family care. You also need them as a sounding board as you express your emotions.
Find a support group:
Miscarriage isn’t uncommon, so there are many in-person and online support groups available for this type of loss. While your friends and family will always be there for you, it can also help to connect with others who have gone through the exact same loss.
Seek spiritual guidance:
If you’re religiously inclined, it may also help to speak with a spiritual leader or attend group worship events.
Talk with a therapist:
A grief counselor can help you navigate your pregnancy loss and help you recover more effectively. Depending on your needs, you might also go to couples counseling with your partner.
No matter how many people say, ‘it wasn’t really a baby yet’, you may feel in your heart that it was a baby the moment you conceived and no-one can take that away. Many women start imaging their baby’s future from the moment they knew they were pregnant. You may need some time to mourn your baby and all the hopes and dreams you had for them.
Marriage is sharing life with your best friend, enjoying the journey along the way and arriving at every destination together.

Its October! The wedding bells will be ringing very soon! As we all know, most Kenyan weddings happen in December, so we are now in the pre-wedding and ruracio season. You may want to begin by thinking about the kind of person you want for a long term relationship like marriage. Normally, most people opt to open the festive season with wedding bells. Well, come to think of it, the joyous seasons bring joy already, why not crown it with love too? After all the season is for family time.
Marriage in the traditional Kenyan context is defined as a rite of passage that every individual is expected to undergo in his or her lifetime, and the integral purpose of this institution is to widen the kinship network of the individual through procreation.
Kenya is home to more than 40 tribes. Each tribe has unique wedding ceremony traditions and marriage practices. Although some elements of the traditional practices related to marriage have been challenged, traditional weddings remain an important piece of African culture and will continue to be passed down for generations to come.
If you have a traditional family, you will likely be very aware of the typical marriage customs and rituals of your tribe. This knowledge can become especially important in inter-tribal marriages. Make sure that you that bring this subject up with both sides of the family, so everybody can have a say in what’s important for them.
As much as these celebrations entails much feasting, dancing and negotiations, don’t forget they also are a platform to showcase how fashionable you can be. Who said traditional attire can’t have a taste of modern? Have you seen how a mixture of traditional attire and modern sense brings out the perfect in your maids? Here are a few pictures of how you can add taste in your ruracio by styling up your maids.
Beautiful, right? Makes you want to have your ruracio, right? Who said white gowns are just for the church wedding? Who said you can’t go white with kitenge? It’s a modern world and white is not only considered for the ‘white wedding’ but also for ruracio. Why be a princess when you can be a queen? Take a moment and look at these gorgeous gowns you can rock in during your traditional wedding.
When it comes to ruracios, first appearances count for a lot. In fact, appearances can sway the demands upwards or downwards. Normally, men have been known to dress down because of the ‘ first impression’ perception that the demands might go up! Did you know you can have a classy look that will sway your in-laws and make them forget about upgrading their demands? Well, here are some looks you can kill without suiting it all up!
Size 8 and Dj Mo have announced that they made a bold decision to undergo a medical procedure that saw them lose their baby.
In a video posted on their YouTube channel, the couple revealed that the expectant mother experienced fluctuating temperatures and blood pressure, and was rushed to hospital for check-up.
“My blood pressure rose to a high level and for sometime stayed abnormally high. Doctors tried all their best to manage my pressure but it still kept fluctuating. They even administered different drugs to no avail. Currently my pressure is still high and I had to undergo a surgery,” Size 8 said.
Dj Mo confirmed that the doctors made a decision to save the gospel artiste at the expense of their unborn baby. Mo stated that the Mateke hitmaker underwent a successful medical abortion losing their would be third child.
“As you can see the operation was good, everything has gone well. All I can say is God has a reason for everything. My wife’s blood pressure hit abnormal levels of up to 200-230 mm Hg. We thank God because Linet(Size 8) is very safe. Our doctor advised us, saying that we now had to save the mother. We had no option but to allow them do the procedure,” he said.
Through an Instagram post, the entertainer thanked God and his fans for standing with them. He encouraged his viewers who have or are undergoing similar situations to take heart and brace themselves.

Condolences to the Murayas from all of us at Ctone Media.
Man or woman, gay or straight—anyone can cheat. But why?
There are many reasons why people cheat in a relationship. Individuals sometimes cheat on their significant other due to the fact that they aren’t truly happy in the relationship. This can sometimes mean that they aren’t really in love and are looking for a way out. Let me start by acknowledging the fact that both men and women cheat, but today, our focus is entirely on men!
Do men know that cheating betrays their partner’s trust and breaks the promise of maintaining emotional and sexual exclusivity with them? If you ask what percentage of men cheat and what percentage of women cheat, it’s not surprising that men are 7 percent more likely to cheat than women are. And if you ask me, I’d say that statistics prove that men cheat more than women do, but it doesn’t mean that all men cheat. In as much as we want to blame the men for cheating, women play a part too.
Women are extremely sensitive beings and it’s emotionally traumatic when men cheat on them. They find themselves asking these questions, “Why did this happen?” “Why did he cheat?” “Where did I go wrong for him to cheat?” “Am I not enough?”
Well, I have some answers for you! Quite blaming yourself!
Men cheat because of lack of maturity

Males, in general, will have a myriad of reasons as to why they engage in secret affairs. In my own perspective, I have noticed a common theme of emotional immaturity with those that act on the emotional and physical aspects of cheating.
Lacking the maturity to invest the time, commitment, and energy to work through core issues within their relationship is why men cheat, well, at least some of them.
Come to ask yourself, is your relationship really worth gambling?
Men cheat when they are made to feel inadequate.
Speaking from an African context, masculinity complex will always drive our men.
Men who cheat repeatedly are those who are repeatedly made to feel like they are less than, they seek to find someone that makes them feel like a priority.
In essence, they try to feel the void that their partner is not occupying. They seek attention outside the relationship because they feel inadequate, forgetting that it is a prominent sign of an emerging betrayal.
Men feel ashamed about their desire for pleasure thus cheating.
In as much as we don’t want to talk about it, sex does keep a man. And not just any sex, good sex. Remember how I told you ladies earlier that you play a part in the cheating? Let’s talk about how you get lazy in bed and don’t give out sex whenever and wherever he wants it. He wants it, he can’t force you to give it up, so why not find somewhere to get it?
I know that sounds ironic and like a cart-horse dilemma since many people become ashamed after getting caught cheating. But cheating behaviors are very often triggered by what they lack in the relationship.
Men cheat because they choose to.
Just like we say a man cannot be stolen, neither can he be made or forced to lust on other women. It is a choice they make with a clear conscience. There is no justified explanation as to why men cheat
Men cheat because they are selfish.
On the surface, there are many reasons why men cheat.
Such as: “Grass is greener,” feeling desired, the thrill of the conquest, feeling trapped, unhappiness, etc. Underneath all those reasons and others, it is pretty simple, selfishness.
The selfishness that trumps commitment, the integrity of character and honoring another above self.
Men cheat for various reasons
First, we have to recognize that there is a difference between why do men cheat:
Variety
Boredom
The thrill of the hunt/danger of an affair
Some men have no idea why they are compelled to do it
No moral code for relationship
Inner drive/need for attention (need for attention exceeds normalcy)
The chemistry is gone
From an evolutionary perspective– they weren’t designed to be monogamous
It’s just skin on skin– just sex baby
Because they feel entitled/they can
At the end of the day, however, even if their spouse is intolerable at many levels, there are much better ways to address the issue.
Tanzanian singer, Vanessa Mdee and her lover Rotimi have finally had a beautiful baby shower for their unborn child.
The two lovebirds have revealed adorable images from their baby shower, which took place on September 17th. Close friends and family members attended the gathering.
Their fans were ecstatic over the same. On their Instagram accounts, the ecstatic pair both captioned the photographs;
”Baby Shower vibes”
Mdee and her fiancé Rotimi surprised their fans around the world earlier this month when they announced that they are expecting their first child together on September 7.
The Love Birds
Rotimi’s desire came true late last year when he proposed to Vanessa Mdee with an engagement ring. Their love is now living proof that when it comes to love, manifestation is genuine.
The ‘Power’ star has finally married the love of his life, after yearning for her to find him in 2015. Rotimi couldn’t keep calm as he shared the news that he proposed to his girlfriend Vanessa Mdee with a dazzling ring fit for his queen.
They serve more than just a few of objectives. Rotimi just gave Mdee a brand new Range Rover and purchased a similar vehicle for himself. This was one of the rare gifts that kept couples awake at night. Vanessa also uploaded a video of Rotimi strewing notes all over her.
The Arboretum is a vast open area that seems like a very thick woodland located a few kilometers from Nairobi CBD.
I believe it was built with lovebirds in mind, as the indigenous trees and gently sloping grounds provide a constant cool breeze, ideal for setting the mood.
The tranquil setting is perfect for a cozy nature picnic while watching the monkeys forage for food, in short its just a perfect place for a date in Nairobi.
It also has plenty of gravel-tracked meandering paths where you can take long scenic walks with your special someone. Tickets are KSH 50 for adults and KSH 20 for children.
Karura Forest is a peaceful, romantic, and tranquil haven. As you walk beneath the canopies, the privacy and calmness is absolutely refreshing.
The harmonious chimes of the birds will make you feel as if they are part of your romantic story. All you need to do is bring your walking shoes, some snacks, and a hundred Kenyan shillings for the entrance fee.
There are more than 30 kilometers of hiking and cycling trails here, and you can rent a bike for Kshs 500 for a two-hour cycling adventure. The main entrance is on Limuru Rd., directly across from the Belgian Embassy.
3. Uhuru Park
Uhuru Park is a great chill-out spot in the CBD where you can forget all the rules of dating conventions. You can walk, better yet, run together to the top of the hill and take in the splendor of the city. Don’t hesitate to take selfies and capture your beautiful moments.
It is advisable to go there on non-holidays or weekends due to the high number of people that frequent the park during these days. Park access charges are Ksh 100 for kids and Ksh 200 for adults.
4. Paradise Lost
The 54-acre coffee farm on the outskirts of Kiambu town is a 10-minute drive from Nairobi. Come share special moments with your loved one by the waterfall and caves while taking selfies for memories sake.
The main entrance fee costs Kshs 400, with an additional Kshs 300 each for boat trips, horseback rides, cave tours, and ziplines.
5. Giraffe center
One of my favorite Nairobi attractions to take your girlfriend for a cheap date in Nairobi is the Giraffe Centre. It’s a perfect way to spend time with your significant other while feeding and even kissing the sweet giraffes at the Karen Giraffe Center, home to the endangered Rothschild Giraffe.
Directly across from the center’s entrance is a beautiful nature trail where you can relax and share laughs with your date. The charge is as low as Ksh 400.
6. Nairobi Safari Walk
For only 300 bob per head, take your partner to see a sample of the country’s rich animal life, including the rare bongo, white rhino, albino zebra, as well as big cats, antelopes, and primates.
It is an excellent place to spend time together as you walk along a raised wooden boardwalk admiring the beautiful wildlife species.
7. Ngong Hills
The famous Ngong hills is a favorite for hikers. It is also an ideal picnic site if you and your partner are looking to unwind. Set aside an afternoon to enjoy the unique experience of climbing these famous hills, and you’ll be treated to a spectacular view of Nairobi to the northeast.
You can start with a hike over the hills, have a packed lunch, and then stroll along the ridge for a spectacular view of the scenery. Visiting time is from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm, and entry tickets are Kshs 200 each.
8. The Nairobi National Museum
I highly recommend a visit to the Nairobi Museum for a frugal date. It will not only be a fascinating experience, but it will also give you a deeper understanding of Kenya’s roots and diverse culture. Kenya’s rich heritage is celebrated at the museum, which is divided into four distinct themes: culture, nature, history, and contemporary art.
Other attractions within the compound include the Snake Park and Botanical Gardens and a State of the Art Auditorium that occasionally hosts concerts, film shows, and other events.
Dining and shopping facilities are also available in the commercial wing where you can get souvenirs at fair prices. Located on Museum Hill, get a Nairobi national museum & snake park package at Kshs 600 each.
9. The Godown Arts Center
If you and your partner prefer art shows, plays, and concerts, then Godown Arts Center is a perfect venue for a date.
Here you get to experience the fusion of contemporary creative arts exhibitions, workshops, and open cultural nights in its rawest form.
Enjoy unique performances by your favorite local artists while getting lost in the moment with your partner. Don’t miss getting souvenirs together to mark your special moments.
10. Psycho 60 Escape Rooms
If you want a budget friendly date in Nairobi, Psycho 60 Escape Rooms is a realistic escape room experience located along Elgeyo Marakwet North Rd.
It’s a great entertainment spot for a date night, as you get to work with your partner to solve challenging puzzles, find clues, break codes, decrypt messages and find hidden objects using intuition and logical thinking to escape.
In 2025, the more exciting thing is how the rooms differ and how you should see a way out in 60 minutes. So both your creative skills and your teamwork will be required to achieve the ultimate mission. Tickets are available 800/= on weekdays and 1000/= every weekend.
