Kenya National Theatre Description
Kenya National Theatre is part of the Kenya Cultural Centre,a Semi Autonomous Government Agency under the Ministry of State for National Heritage and Culture in Kenya. Kenya National Theatre is mandated to offer space for the rehearsal and staging of productions to both local and international repertoire.
The history of the Kenya National Theatre has viewed its location as a hurdle for an earnest identification with the local artistic performances. The cost of maintenance has meant higher booking fees for fledgling repertoires, eventually reserving itself for a corporate clientele. The Kenya National Theatre has also been a subject of scholarly criticism and a basis for formulating a cultural policy.
In 2004, Kenya Cultural Centre Ltd contracted Millicon’s Ltd to undertake a three phase renovation of the facility. In October 2007, Kenya National Theatre was handed over and renamed “National Theatre” with a notable interior design of the first floor’s “Wasanii Restaurant” by Terry Tabor.
Kenya National Theatre is mandated to offer space for the rehearsal and staging of productions to both local and international repertoire.
Kenya National Theatre is located in between the University of Nairobi main campus and the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) headquarters and directly opposite the Fairmont Norfolk Hotel.
Masai Mara Safari
The Masai Mara National Reserve has fenceless borders with a number of private conservancies, including Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. This vast protected landscape is one of the top wildlife destinations in Africa, and Kenya’s flagship conservation area.
Game viewing in the Masai Mara is excellent all year around thanks to the diverse population of resident game, including the Big 5 – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino – plus popular species like zebra, giraffe, hyena, eland and gazelle. The Mara’s big cats are even the stars of a popular wildlife TV series.
The Masai Mara and its neighbouring private conservancies offer a range of accommodation, from child-friendly to romantic. The park can be crowded in high season, which is why we recommend staying in one of the neighbouring private conservancies where you’ll enjoy the advantage of easy access to the Mara for the superb game-viewing and migration scenes, but can also retreat to the conservancy’s crowd-free setting where off road game viewing, night drives and guided nature walks are permitted.
