The first two parts of this tour were good and certainly worthwhile. Sadly, when I booked a few days ago it still said that we were to see the Bomas Cultural Show - which I was led to believe by looking at photos etc online would be in its usual home at the entrance to the Nairobi National Park. This was not so. We were brought to a small plastic tent and told that the Bomas Centre was closed so the show was moved. Very disappointed by the sad looking venue. Dancing and music were great but cramped venue did not do them justice.
