    Amazing glorious day. Kenya National Archives is situated at Central Business Business( CBD),It is a Treasure hunt building which contains valuable information since, 1714 to this current generation. 50shs payable as a entrance fee. It is a resource center for everyone who wishes to gather more knowledge, understanding our Kenyan originality, heritage, foundation core values inclusiveness and political trends. Social economic development in reliance on geographical regions and location can be highly appreciated from the archives. Although not everyone knows about this area people choose library as the only source of explorers information. I would like to address our Google maps to address this review and information contained herein to highlight global community to navigate through and get informed of this hidden treasure in our, SOVEREIGN STATE, KENYA. Thanks for your appreciation response. Welcome.

    A very good landmark especially for those new in town. The place inside is good. If you wanna know the full history about Kenya, then its the place to go. They have this video they show at the end of the tour in their auditorium upstairs, its boring as hell. Slept through the whole session. I think they should edit it to make it more fun. It is however very educative for the History lovers.

    I've always wondered what was at the archives and was curious three months ago. You need fifty Bob to get into the archives. There are really appreciate of stuff to see in here, from old items used as early as the 1700's,to pictures of heroes and legends,to the evolution of communication and trading. The ground floor has mostly it's used in the stone age,items used for daily lives to war clothing. The second floor has the evolutionary items like money, postage, etc. There's also a section reserved for the first president of Kenya and a wall with the Kenyan prominent people. You gotta have to go here to see much more!!
