Large and Small Magellanic clouds, Omega Cen, Eta Carina nebula, the
Jewel
Box (next to BeCrux a.k.a. Mimosa) and 47 Tucane are all great
binocular
targets.

Thanks for the tips, too bad some of them will be under the horizon.
But i made a note of them anyway, maybe for later.

All depends on how late you want to stay up... or how early you want to
get
up. g

Yeah but they won't be visible cause the sun will be in the way

Okay... I'm not sure where you are going precisely, but from Nairobi, Kenya
for example, Eta Carina Crux and Omega are all visible in the evening sky
(at least until 23:00), and 47 Tuc and the SMC will be visible from about
1:30 until dawn. So the only one you'll miss because of the sun is the LMC.
