The 22 best places to propose in Nairobi

The atmosphere is great. It’s at the top of the One Africa building, right at the top of the dome. The food is very good, it reminds me of the show “The Bear”. It’s fine dining vibes. The drinks are also fire by the way. The staff are super nice and always available to attend to you. The main bar felt a bit far away from most areas though. The DJ was spitting, the music got us dancing for hours. It’s a great place for a date, you have to book ahead and it’s totally worth it. The prices can be spit swallowing though

The view is breathtaking from the 20th floor. You get a panoramic view of the beautiful Nairobi. The service is attentive, the food is tasty. We came at a high peak time without booking. They were kind enough to get us some seats and we had a beautiful experience

The highlights of the food are the truffle Maki, grilled chicken, skewers, duck croquette. Cocktails are really good. This is my second time here in less than a week. Highest floor in the building, which you have city views. Make reservations. Music is perfect.

Japanese / Peruvian on the 20th floor of a building. In my opinion the main courses and special cocktails are good, but don't meet the expectations that the price and location set. The expensive meat cuts have disappointed me twice: not the top quality you pay for and extremely small portions. The sushi is great though! Especially the ones with crab and tempura. The chocolate fondant is great! If you want bang for your buck here, go for sushi to share, regular cocktails (at 800 I think) and desserts. Those are definitely worth it! Reservation needed, definitely on the weekend.

Great Peruvian Nikkei place with wonderful views of the city! Some dishes were fantastic while others were ok. The Maracuya pisco sour was too sweet for instance. A nice place for a night one in Nairobi.

A very nice chille, private and quiet place to wind the evening away. Beautiful low music whistling your moments away too. Staff are friendly and the food is super deliiiish!

Great spot amazing food. Totally recommend it. Cocktails are a bit boring but the view from the 23rd floor, the beautiful decor and the amazing food are all deserving of a 5 star experience.

Atop Museum Hill 🏛️, Kenya’s soul unfolds 🌍 Fossils 🦴 whisper ancient tales, Ahmed the elephant 🐘 guards nature’s grace. Art🎨 of tribes and beads 🧵 shimmer with culture’s pride. Birds 🐦 sing of wild skies, rocks ⛰️ echo Earth’s deep time. Each gallery 🖼️ a heartbeat ❤️, Each step 🚶 a journey through history’s vibrant rhythm. 🇰🇪

I have never felt so compelled to write a review whilst still on holiday. We spent an absolutely fascinating few hours with our wonderful tour guide Hannah. She was so incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She took us on an absolute journey around the museum. So much thought and love has gone into this place. The history was captivating -we were utterly absorbed and at times moved. This is a place you cannot miss if you are visiting Nairobi!

Nice variety of things to see. It’s probably not the most modern of museums but certainly worth a visit. The lighting is not that great in many places, so make sure to take your best glasses if you want to see everything. Buying a ticket is also a bit of a mission, but probably understandable in the drive to do everything through “e-citizen”. On the other hand, the card machine in the shop was not working, so I was not able to purchase a souvenir.

Solid museum. 1250 KES so basically $10 USD (Oct 2025). You need 2 hours to see the whole museum and maybe 3-4 hrs if you want to read thru. I enjoyed it, not amazing but still interesting to learn about animals and the history of Kenya. Independence granted by 1963. The are a bunch of birds that fills a 3 classroom size room with taxidermy birds. Pretty deep collection. There’s a snake zoo nearby inside and a small botanical garden. Random: no water bottles allowed so you’ll just place it on the front counter and pickup when you leave.

Great museum to visit if you find yourself in Niarobi looking for a daytime activity. Lots of nicely presented displays on the history of Kenya, animals, birds, tribal history etc. also a snake exhibit. Enjoy!

We recommend you take about 3 hours out of your day to fully see this place. It was a really wonderful experience and we learned so much. The reptile house is great for kids. They make you leave your water bottles outside but you get them back in the end. Highly recommend!!

Visited the snake park. If you want to get rid of the phobia, that the place to visit👌😋😅😅also a nice nature walk space just right next to snake park. I enjoyed the serene environment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Kenyatta International Convention Centre is an iconic landmark in Nairobi and a great venue for conferences and events. The building has a rich history and offers stunning panoramic views of the city from the rooftop. The facilities are spacious and generally well-maintained, though some areas could benefit from a bit of modernization. Security is good, and the central location makes it easily accessible. A solid choice for business events and a must-visit for the rooftop view!

Offers a great opportunity for you to have a 360 view of Nairobi skyline. It is awesome. You take a lift to the 27th floor and walk the stairs up. Cost 200ksh for residents and 500ksh for non-residents. There are also a variety of halls and restaurants within the building.

One stop centre for international meetings. Tourists both domestic and foreign looking to see Nairobi from 27 floors off the ground, this is the place to be.Wide helipad atop the tower for scenic views,strong winds providing chilling breeze,beware if allergic. Overall nice chill spot.

KICC, or Kenya International Convention Center, is truly an amazing venue that offers breathtaking views and excellent service. The facility is spacious, well-equipped, and provides a professional environment perfect for conferences, events, and gatherings. The staff are friendly and attentive, ensuring every detail is taken care of to make your experience memorable. Overall, KICC stands out as a top-tier convention center in Kenya, combining stunning aesthetics with top-notch hospitality to meet the needs of any event.

Kenya's 🇰🇪 premier convention centre, popularly known as KICC, is Nairobi's landmark. It's a beautiful location at the centre of the city bordered by the country's offices of power - parliament, offices of the president and deputy president, supreme court, and county government. The buildings are awesome pieces of architecture from last century. Atop the tower is a helipad frequented by visitors who desire to have a 360º view of the city and beyond. An access fee of KES 200 is levied on those wishing to go up the tower for city viewing. There are restaurants and banking halls also for the convenience of visitors. The spaces are wide and quite welcome in a crowded city.

On 15th August 2025, from the rooftop of KICC, we enjoyed an incredible panoramic view of Nairobi city. On the same day, Alkhair Royal School was honored with the privilege of visiting Parliament, making the experience both educational and memorable.

The KICC is like Nairobi’s official selfie stick. Go up to the rooftop and suddenly you’re a tour guide showing people “that’s Uhuru Park, that’s the CBD, and that tiny thing is your rent disappearing.” The building itself is iconic — round, tall, and unmistakably Kenyan. Inside, it hosts everything from serious government conferences to expos where you walk out with 10 flyers, 3 branded pens, and a stress ball you’ll never use. The lifts sometimes feel vintage (like a free history lesson), but they get the job done. Best part? The rooftop view of Nairobi — you haven’t really “been to Nairobi” if you haven’t taken a photo up there pretending you own the city.

I was in Nairobi for 3 weeks, my girlfriend and I went 15 times. Honestly I haven’t had food this good for this price- yes it’s not cheap- but it’s not overpriced. We went for lunch and dinner mostly (breakfast is good but not as amazing as lunch and dinner) and honestly they never missed. But I will miss this place

A very nice restaurant with high quality meals! We had a great lunchtime

Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience at Harvest Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service was attentive without being overbearing, and the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. The food was the true highlight — every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. You could tell that fresh, high-quality ingredients were used, and the attention to detail was impressive. Whether it was the starters, mains, or desserts, everything exceeded expectations. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a refined yet relaxed dining experience. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to.

I had written a positive review previously after being encouraged by the staff and because our first experience was genuinely good. Unfortunately, after our recent visit, I feel the need to update my review. The new menu for vegetarians was a huge disappointment. For a place called Harvest, one would expect healthier, fresher options. Instead, almost everything was heavy on white flour and bread. How much of that can one really eat without balance? Service was poor and extremely slow—from starters to the main course. No one checked on us during the meal, which made us feel ignored. The restaurant floor was also dirty, with food particles scattered around, showing a lack of care. Overall, the food quality, cleanliness, and service have gone down significantly. What was once a promising experience turned into a very careless and unpleasant one. Sadly, I cannot recommend the place anymore.

The restaurant ambience is really great and so beautiful. It’s perfect for a date and a hangout with friends. The service was terrible, we had Dennis who was waiting on us and he was extremely rude to us. They should definitely do something about the customer service. The staff look very unhappy and unmotivated!

Was there in two different times both times nobody came to serve us, huge place but lacks the staff to run it. At one point i asked the guy in the bar counter to send someone to take our order but no one showed up. So we left and did not regret as we found better service in the food court.

The restaurant is very big and spacious. We didn't need reservations and had the choice to sit either inside or outside. There was a piano player playing really nice show tunes. The staff was helpful and courteous. The waitress helped us make a great choice. The for was really really good

Nice place Great cocktails! (From Botanica) Very friendly service Food was underwhelming. Nothing bad though, but not as good as could be expected for that location and price. If you are into Mexican food and you don't have other options, this will scratch the itch. But it won't have you longing for more Rather small portions

They have two restaurants one that serves Mexican food and the other fusion Asian food. Best of both worlds. The ambience and vibe of the place is perfect for family and friends to hang out. We had tacos and baos as starters and they were delectable. Fajitas for mains was just the cherry on top.

The restaurant has a nice ambiance and I like their lighting: brighten one's mood! They also have an extensive menu, and we can only try a few. Nonetheless, whatever we tried, we liked them and would need to try again to give detailed thoughts on the taste. The server was very friendly and accommodating. Very kid friendly place-we have 10-month old with us, and they were proactive and prompt to make his time enjoyable also! However, it would be great if they could increase the portion of tacos! Only two pieces come in a plate!

Among the many Mexican-themed restaurants in Nairobi, Mercado has long set the gold standard for an authentic taste of Mexico. Every visit promises a vibrant ambiance, warm hospitality, and an exciting menu that keeps diners coming back. When it comes to their main courses, Mercado truly shines. From sizzling steaks to flavorful fajitas, every dish is a five-star experience, perfectly cooked and packed with bold flavors. These meals are the heart of Mercado, and they rarely disappoint. Unfortunately, while the main courses impress, the starter dish—particularly the tacos—feel a little underwhelming. They ended up being soggy and hard to eat, I expected a more exciting and flavorful experience. Another slight letdown is the happy hour cocktail selection. Compared to their regular cocktails, which are expertly crafted, the happy hour options feel somewhat lackluster including the Margarita and Mango and dont have the regulars like Long Island—except for the Gin Basil, which remains a standout. If Mercado could maintain the same quality across all their cocktails, their happy hour would be truly unbeatable. The waiters staff are well-trained, attentive, and always serve with a smile, enhancing the overall dining experience. If the tacos were as exceptional as the mains and the happy hour cocktails matched the quality of the rest of the bar menu, Mercado would be an easy five-star restaurant. Until then, it remains a solid four-star spot in my books—still one of the best places in town for a great Mexican feast.

Went for dinner and enjoyed the experience and atmosphere. Had the nachos to start and shared with a friend and they were delicious. We ordered two mango margaritas (yummy!) And asked for them spicy which we got and they were great. Ordered tacos (2 per order) and they were good but really small and the mushroom quesadilla which was lovely but not filling. We ended up sending the red snapper tacos back because they tasted off and we didn't want to risk it in case they were. This was handled really professionally by staff and we felt comfortable and supported in our actions and they were taken off the bill. Overall we had a lovely evening there and the space was great for creating a fun atmosphere.

Beautiful modern design that ties in well with the Mexican theme. Also loved the vibe and music. Food was delicious 👌👌and the menu is full of great selections. I aso give their cocktails a solid 4/5. Felt a bit rushed when ordering as their kitchen was closing at 10pm but the food and drinks made up for that.

Food: Quality of most meals was pretty nice. Tried the charcoal tortillas, beef burrito, lamb shoulder, rib eye tequilla steak, churros & a tart. I really liked the meats and dessert Quantity was tiny. Especially the lamb shoulder. That should be served as a kids portion and I am not exaggerating here. My suggestion is to probably just get a starter, a main & dessert (or at least 2) Service: Was relatively slow and the food for our group came at different times despite us ordering at the same time. Waiter was really polite but I found it weird that he insisted for a tip. First time I’ve seen that. Ambience: Set up is quite lovely inside. Seats are a little low for tall people but comfy enough. It’s quite popular with foreign nationals for some reason Washrooms are shared by both genders

One of very few restaurant that would deserve 6 or 7 or more stars... Everything perfect from start to end. The menu and decoration is amazingly thought, the atmosphere is fantastic, the service with Ironman Joe is top notch, all cocktails are original and perfectly balanced and original, the food is simply fantastic! Thank you. I'll come again for sure.

I had a very satisfactory experience at Hero Restaurant. The rooftop bar provides stunning views of the city, creating a great atmosphere to unwind. The cocktails, particularly the First Aid and the Old Fashioned, were exceptionally well made and full of flavor. The food was equally impressive—fresh, well-prepared, and delivered promptly. Special thanks to Canon for the outstanding service; professional, attentive, and courteous throughout. I highly recommend Hero for anyone looking to enjoy great food, drinks, and an elevated dining environment.

Dining at Hero Restaurant is more than just a meal, it’s an experience. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone for something truly special. The design is edgy yet sophisticated, with a modern, comic-book-inspired flair that makes every corner feel photo-worthy. The food? Bold, creative, and meticulously crafted. Each dish tells a story, blending global flavors with a Japanese twist that surprises and delights your taste buds. Whether it's sushi, small plates, or a signature main, the presentation is stunning, and the taste backs it up. Cocktails are equally impressive, with inventive mixes that pair perfectly with the food and atmosphere. Service is attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall premium experience without ever feeling pretentious. Whether you're celebrating something special or just treating yourself, Hero is the kind of place that leaves a lasting impression. A must-visit in Nairobi for foodies, creatives, and culinary adventurers alike.

We came to this place after reading some posts but If I have to be honest, the food isn't great..... Yes, all food looks appetising but the quality is really disappointing for this price.... The steak is too hard; we ordered a shrimp truffle sushi roll but it turns out we can't really taste the shrimp, nor the truffles.... Other food especially the lamb is way too salty.... The atmosphere is great but I think there is room for improvement on food apart from retaining its gimmicky heroic theme. The service is not satisfying either.... The waiter took away all our dishes quickly even when we haven't finished the whole plate; the waiter even came to us multiple times to ask us to settle the bill quickly but it was in fact 2h before the closing time, the experience is not at all satisfying for this price, not to mention the waiter failed to help us with the issue with food quality..... Anyways, I am not sure if it would be worthy to pay this price for this quality of food and services....

After chef Millan’d renewal, the food is finally good. Especially Kimchi ramen. I’m Cane is ultimate my favourite dessert over years

Great food, service and atmosphere. Views of the city and thoroughly enjoyed the night out with family! Would highly recommend for all occasions!

So far, this is the best, Animation-Themed Restaurant that I have been to. Their food, is top notch 👌. Trust me, you'll be left, craving for more after having your meal. The service is amazing, customer relation, is great. It's my go to place.

We had the loveliest server, Francesca, who gave us the best recommendations for dinner last week. The restaurant was quiet, being a Monday, but the music and the atmosphere were stunning! We had the crostini, the Bambino caprese, the prawn pasta, seafood risotto , the truffle maltagliati pasta and the lamb cutlets. Loved the food! And the tiramisu was amazing too! Thank you for a lovely evening!

My date and I had the Philadelphia sushi and the creamy pasta. The pasta was amazing! I would like to give a shout out to Francisca, the waitress. She served us so well with patience and was also very professional. It’s a nice spot for date nights, solo dates or group dates. A shout out to the dj. The music is always top-notch for the times I’ve been there!

One of the best Italian restos in Nairobi. The food is really good. Pastas are excellent. The meat section is also good. Pizzas are very thin. Service is excellent.

I had the chance to attend their unlimited sushi and dimsum experience that’s help every first and third Wednesday. Upon arriving we were seated and it took us flagging down and calling nearly 4 different waiters before we finally got a menu. After that it took flagging down our original waiter multiple times before she attended to us. We didn’t get our drinks (water and a coke) for another 20 minutes. When the food came it was way beyond expectation. And it was the same cycle of horrible service. I am extremely disappointed and expected a lot more.

I absolutely love this place from the set up to the service. The food was absolutely delicious. It’s so far my number one restaurant in Nairobi Kenya. Absolutely love this place.

We went there last night for the all you can eat Sushi & DimSum: The food was made well and it was quite tasty - everyone should try it (Disclaimer: Service can be quite slow during these days). The only thing that was disappointing is the lack of enough serviettes for use. Also, in 2025, it's so strange for a restaurant to not provide wet wipes and enough serviettes to their patrons. As you can see from one of the images uploaded, we had to use the napkins and wet wipes that I had in my bag, otherwise our hands would have to stay messy. This was quite disappointing for a more niche/high-end establishments.

Firstly they’re under staffed taking incredibly long to give us the menus, usually the hostess sits you down WITH menus but we waited 10 minutes to just be given menus. We went for the unlimited sushi and dim sum the food was beyond subpar. Secondly the staff services seemed bias, they prioritized those who seemed older which is off. At the end of the night (we left early) the waitress didn’t ask us how we felt. The best thing was the furniture and aesthetics.0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND

Had a great experience at Urban Eatery! I ordered the buttered chicken curry with naan, and it was full of flavor—really hit the spot. Portion size was decent too. The ambience was one of my favorite parts—especially the outdoor seating, which was super cozy and nicely set up. Plus, the service was excellent—friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the mood for tasty food in a relaxed setting. Will be coming back!

Food and atmosphere is good. Service is great too. Biggest issue is the portions are small. It's never enough. Even the sirloin steak leaves you hanging. They should just add more mashed potatoes or fries. Its affordable and much more value. It's not just the steak. All their dishes are 30% too small. Ordered two dishes. The burger with fries and Sirloin with mashed potatoes. I'm a bit too full now. 4k is too much to get full. The spot is pretty. Service is really good.

My review is LONG overdue. The food is amazing! All of it!! Sushi is my favourite ! One of the best places in Nairobi that offers many cuisine options ! We have visited every week! We absolutely love the food and the place is beautiful

This was my first time trying this place. It was suggested by my friend, whom I hadn't seen in quite some time. She mentioned she had a good experience here before. The waiter was pleasant, and food tasted well. I had fish and prawns. There was a bit of confusion when taking the order, and lilipop chicken was brought out instead. Mistakes happen. Good experience, the prices could have been a tad lower. Other than that, I liked it. I love trying new places.

Urban Eatery was a really relaxing place to dine. The service was amazing — the waiters were very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There was a wide variety of food and dessert options to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. Great spot to chill and enjoy a good meal.

The customer service first of all is tops! Once we ordered the kind server called Sam came to ask if all was to our liking. He even suggested a drink which we loved, a ginger and pineapple based mocktail. Sweet and tangy! The salted caramel milkshake was YUUUMY! Their rice wt pork meal was dipped in the sweetest stew, loved it! The lamb chops wt sweet potato accompaniment had a very nice dip sauce that completed the meal. Only gave 4stars for food coz we asked for well done lamb and it was 90% well done.otherwise i would definitely recommend it any day!

Very good location close to the beach. Good staff always welcoming and smiling. Restaurant could be more improved. I had a sirloin steak that didn’t look like it. It was dry falling apart. Breakfast could’ve be better with more choices too. The water in the room was salty but it’s fine for me. I would still return to this hotel cause the rooms were priced well and the location was just perfect.

A moderate hike. Generally a good place to unwind as you catch the view of Kajiado county. If you have perfect eyesight, you can spot Nairobi town too. The views are magical. Highly recommend

The hike was worth it. I have been to the hills previously but I have never completed the 7 hills. This time I went with that solo mission to start from Ngong and finish in Kiserian. It took me 2hr 45 minutes to complete. I thought it would be 4 hours. But 3rd and 4th hill is the one that will determine whether you give up or push on. Going up requires tact and patience otherwise you might end up giving in. Take your time. Rest when you feel your body calling for it. I think it helps if you are in group to psych each other up each hill. Big up to the young primary school pupils who zoomed past me as they did a walk to raise awareness for Dyslexia. People like taking photos at the 'Mezzanine' hill where Kengen has windmills. But at the top of Hill 7 the scene is super.

Good trail and long distance between the 7 ngong hills. Carry water and put on gripping shoes since the grass is a bit slippery. Put on clothes that cover the whole body due to the presence of tsetse flies and scorching sun.

Google Review for Ngong Hills Visiting Ngong Hillswas an absolutely refreshing and memorable experience! This destination is perfect for anyone who loves nature, scenic views, and outdoor activities. The views are simply breathtaking rolling green hills stretching as far as the eye can see, with panoramic sights of the Great Rift Valley on one side and Nairobi city skyline on the other. If you enjoy photography, this place is a dream! The hiking trail is well-marked and offers a mix of gentle slopes and challenging climbs, making it suitable for both beginners and seasoned hikers. The cool breeze and fresh air make the hike enjoyable, and there are plenty of spots to take breaks and soak in the beauty. Security has improved, with guards along the trail, but I would still recommend going in a group for safety and extra fun. There are also wind turbines along the way, which add a unique touch to the landscape. A few tips: * Carry water and some snacks, as there are no shops along the trail. * Wear comfortable shoes and carry a light jacket—it can get windy and chilly at the top. * Go early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise and avoid the midday sun. The only downside is that there are limited facilities like washrooms and seating areas, but the natural beauty more than makes up for it. Overall, Ngong Hills is a must-visit for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, and anyone looking for a peaceful escape close to Nairobi.

Ngong Hills 🚌offers one of the most rewarding hiking experiences just outside Nairobi. 🧗The trail winds through rolling hills lined with wind turbines, offering a stunning blend of natural beauty and modern energy innovation. The panoramic views stretch as far as the Rift Valley on one side and Nairobi’s skyline on the other — a breathtaking reminder of Kenya’s diverse landscape.🌍 The hike itself is moderately challenging but incredibly fulfilling, especially with the cool breeze and the company of fellow adventurers. Having a few First Aid supplies & adequate water always comes in handy ⛑️🦺🧰Along the way, you’ll find plenty of photo-worthy spots and resting points where you can simply take in the serenity.📸🖼️ Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful weekend getaway, Ngong Hills is the perfect destination.💯

Great place to catch a breath and relax.Family friendly as well whether you want to exercise or take a breather from the craze of the city

Ngong Hills isn’t a one time hike, it’s an experience that keeps calling you back. Sometimes it’s blazing hot with only a few forested spots offering shade. Other times, the hills put on a show, clouds drifting gracefully above, cool winds sweeping through and the windmills spinning in perfect rhythm with nature.

We visited Roofs Place in Ongata Rongai for a family dinner and had a great time enjoying the delicious food — everything was well-prepared and flavorful. However, the place itself feels a bit neglected and could really use a facelift. With some renovations and a little more attention to detail, it has the potential to be a true paradise. Still, a nice spot overall and worth a visit for the food alone.

This restaurant is a hidden gem nestled among trees, with a charming antique-style decor, a serene river, and a picturesque suspension bridge. The natural surroundings and peaceful atmosphere make it a perfect escape from the city’s noise and crowds. However, the 6-person platter meal we ordered fell short of expectations and didn’t feel like good value for money, small serve and pricey. While the ambiance is truly special, the food could use some improvement to match the overall experience. A great spot for the vibe, but the dining experience left room for improvement.

The place has breathtaking views . I loved the wild swings and the environment. You can see the national park from there. The guy who welcomed us was friendly.

The walk along the bridge across the gorge gives you goosebumps. It's located on the edges of Nairobi National park. Animals like baboons, occasional warthog and the rock hyrax are plenty. Offers a stunning view, family friendly and quiet.

A very chilled and quiet place away from the city noise, the place is beautiful. Enjoyed my time there.

Everything is food here if ypu have money of course ,the food prices are ridiculous to say the least but nice views, and Everything, you also pay for the swimming pool even if you dine there

loved the experience, great service and food

Had a fun time attending the Luo concert.

Best place to enjoy the crusade and view and hold large number of people best place for large activity

I visited uhuru garden during the 2025 magical Kenya tourism expo. It's easy to access, secure and with adequate parking in and out of the garden. I would recommend visitors who want to attend events at uhuru gardens in Nairobi.

Uhuru Gardens is a beautiful and peaceful place filled with Kenya's rich history. It's the exact spot where the Kenyan flag was first raised on December 12, 1963, marking the country's independence. The park is spacious, green, and well maintained, with large trees, open lawns, and monuments that remind visitors of the nation's freedom journey. It's a perfect place to relax, take photos, or spend quality time with family and friends. You can enjoy a picnic, a walk, or simply sit and enjoy the calm environment away from the busy city. The best time to visit is early in the morning or late in the afternoon when it's cool and quiet. Located along Lang'ata Road, Uhuru Gardens is easy to access and has good parking space. The area feels safe and welcoming for both locals and tourists. Every visit here leaves you with a sense of peace and pride in Kenya's heritage. Uhuru Gardens is not just a park-it's a symbol of freedom, unity, and the beauty of Kenya. A must-visit destination for anyone in Nairobi.

Mine is an interesting one. I live nearby. I do my evening walks around it, many people do so it feels safe. Loving the track.

I visited Uhuru Gardens during the 2025 Magical Kenya Tourism Expo. The venue is easily accessible, secure, and offers ample parking both inside and outside the premises. I highly recommend it to anyone planning to attend events at Uhuru Gardens in Nairobi.

Beautiful layout, well maintained, well worth a visit. Uhuru Gardens National Monument and Museum is a commemorative park and museum in Nairobi, Kenya that celebrates independence from the British Empire on 12 December 1963.[2][3] The word "uhuru" is Swahili for "freedom".[3] It contains three points of significance:

This is one of the best wildlife organizations anywhere in the world. The work they do is important and difficult and their focus is squirreling on the animals. They are not interested in turning it into a tourist attraction, except as a way of supporting their work. I highly recommend visiting here, and also donating.

Wow, the elephant orphanage was one of the most amazing places that we have ever visited! A must-see if staying in Nairobi! The elephants were well looked after and their keepers were just amazing. We arrived early and so did many others – we had a great view, and I would say that wherever you stand you will get to see and touch the elephants. However, if you stand directly opposite the end of the footpath you get a fantastic view of the elephants running over to get their milk and them exiting all together along the path! One of the keepers gave an interesting talk about the work the orphanage does, and we learnt so much about these amazing animals. We were also excited to see one of the resident baby rhinos. Sadly, there was no gift shop available on the day we visited. However, I would 100% recommend the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust!

The Trust is particularly famous for its pioneering work in the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned elephants. The organization operates the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. Key activities include: 1. Orphaned Elephant Rescue and Rehabilitation 2. Anti-Poaching Initiatives 3. Community Outreach and Education 4. Habitat Protection

Do not miss this when you visit Kenya. You will never get closer to baby elephants or help a better cause. This is truly an incredible experience.

We visited Nursery, twice at beginning of October. It was wonderful to meet in person one of my girl adoptions ( Kamili) There was a lot of people so when you visit make sure your get there early to get nice access to meet the elephants Like when we visited, on second day.Also met Edwin &:his Wife.!!

What a truly amazing place and incredible experience. The volunteers at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust do a brilliant job of rehabilitating and looking after the elephants and it is very evident that the elephants are very happy and comfortable with their surroundings. Absolutely no mistreatment of any kind to the elephants which was wonderful to see. On to the experience itself: There is only a one hour slot to see the elephants which is 11-12. You will arrive and then walk to the area the elephants are fed. You will all stand around the edge of the enclosure and observe them being fed and playing. There are chances to touch the elephants and take pictures as they roam around. This all takes place while you learn more about the Trust and the elephants themselves. A few things to note regarding the experience as a whole: 1. The ground where you walk, from parking up to seeing the elephants is extremely uneven! (I did see however provisions in place for wheelchair users) 2. You do not get to feed the elephants (This is due to not wanting the elephants to get to trusting of humans as eventually they are released into the wild) 3. If you go on a dry day the ground is extremely dusty! Your shoes and clothes (potentially) will get dusty for sure! Overall though an absolute must do experience in Nairobi!

Excellent work they are doing and able to get up close with the elephants. Didn't feel like a tourist attraction but rather here for the animals and we get to peak in as a bonus. Highly recommend, don't wear white though as you might get splashed by so happy little elephants

This is a fascinating place full of art and artifacts from all over Africa collected by Alan Donovan who also built the house We didn't stay there overnight, but all the rooms are super funky. The place is rather dusty, so if you have allergies, come prepared. We did have a lovely dinner there. I recommend at least visiting the house, as it has super amazing pieces.

We took a tour only to see this amazing house filled with beautiful art and furnishings from various African countries including Kenya, Morocco, Ethiopia, among others. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the art as well as the life of the eccentric owner who educated him about his collection. A must visit while in Nairobi!

Beautiful place for completely destressing, exquisite food, and the tour of the house/museum with all the African artwork is well worth the visit. The rooms are beautifully decorated with artwork. We'll definitely try to stay for a night some time. Highly recommended!

It was my first time there and the view of the national park made it look super amazing. The food also was delicious. Rooms and the welcoming was on another level. I loved the place

I lived in Kenya for years and never knew about this place. It’s the ambassadors’ best kept secret! It’s an absolutely fantastic place to visit for the day or an overnight stay if you have time. It’s the perfect place to stay after flying into Nairobi. It’s close to the airport and has the most fascinating culture of anywhere you will ever spend the night. There’s art, sculptures, architecture, wonderful hospitality, and great food. They are flexible with departure and arrival time and aim to please. A tour of the property is included with your stay and is highly worth it! Could not recommend more highly you will not regret it! We tipped them extra cause it was so amazing!

The place is just a vibe especially the view of Nairobi National park was just awesome. Absolutely loved it

Best tour and dinner! Juliet and everyone at the house is wonderful.

Decided to try this spot out for a chill Sunday lunch. Our server, Peter, was attentive and quick to recommend items he thought we would enjoy. For starters we had the Whispers Spring Rolls - fresh, crispy and delicious! For our mains - the sizzling pork and lemon & ginger chicken with a portion of vegetable fried rice. Small complimentary sides: raw white onion, fresh chilies, chili oil and sweet sauce. Some background music would be lovely to add to the overall relaxed ambiance.

Visited the restaurant for early dinner at about 4.30 pm. We sat outdoors, which was lovely. The restaurant has a very relaxing view (if you love green spaces like I do, you'll like this place). We ordered the cashew nut chicken, chicken fried noodles, chilli garlic beef, stir fried shredded pork and the salmon sushi rolls. In general, the dishes were delicious. However, the shredded pork and sushi were average. The pork wasn't crispy and the sushi didn't leave much to write home about. The beef portion was also tiny for some reason. Our waiter Peter was delightful!

Little Chinese restaurant located in some apartments along Raphta Road - not easy to find unless you know it’s there, signage isn’t great. I’ll start with the portion sizes - their servings are HUGE. We were two, and made the mistake of getting two mains and two sides, and the sides (chili garlic noodles and veg fried rice) were massive! They alone could easily have fed 4-5 people. The noodles were really good, we enjoyed them and the veg fried rice was just okay - nothing special. Our meat dishes were sweet and sour pork & sizzling beef. The pork was nice, our favorite of the two. The sizzling beef did arrive indeed sizzling, but was 80% broccoli - should have been called sizzling broccoli 🤭 We had the chicken spring rolls as starters, and while also large - they were 80% vegetable, hard to say we even had chicken spring rolls. Their chili sauce is also quite hot (but good), we underestimated it and spent the first half of our meal sniffling 😂 The place is pretty, and atmosphere is okay, would probably get quite chilly at night since most of the seating is outside and near a swimming pool. All in all, a standard Chinese restaurant like you’d find anywhere in Nairobi. Nothing really stands out except the portion sizes, great if you’re a big eater or a small group with a limited budget.

We loved this hideout! Food was really yummy - authentic Chinese cuisine 👌🏽🤤, the waiter was extra friendly. The place has an outdoor section that is next to the swimming pool <that adds some pizzazz to the ambience>. It was a great pick for date night!

Friendly and smooth service. Not expensive and very tasty food (large portions). Can recommend this place to anyone who likes Asian cuisine.

The food is worth the money, it's so much and the service is great 👍. The place gives you vibes for a date, friends date, work and chill feel. Would come again!

Lovely setting, tasty food. Sizzling beef was excellent and soo were the chicken spring rolls.

The walkways are newly built. Very good renovations done. They need more animals. The entrance need some order. Kenyans need to remember to carry their IDs (they accept soft).

Really enjoyed the safari walk here. You get to see many of the animals up close and the raised walkway is a great way to experience the place. Parts of the park are looking a little tired and run down but overall still a great place to visit.

My mother in law visited and decided that instead of staying indoors,why not do something,. We found ourselves here.We really enjoyed the walk and the kids were really happy to see the animals. The place is safe and child friendly. There are professional instant photographers and my daughter enjoyed her Masai attire photoshoot. It was therapeutic 🤩🤩🤩.

After you clear with gate services, you got to view the nature's amazing deeds. A high raised walking area making visitors to have a Great view of the caged animals ranging from herbivorous up to carnivores and even birds. A river view helps meditate on yourself for a moment before you walk into the thick forest full of birds each with their own melodious songs. Infield benches where you can sit to enjoy nature view Convenient for team building

The staff were very friendly. We arrived early in the morning and there weren't many people, which made it feel very private. My son loved it. We even saw a giraffe walking along the walkway. The place is full of trees and very peaceful.

Very nice and calm place with a variety of animals. If you are from CBD it's better to take a matatu, ones that go to Rongai and just say safari walk. A cab is also not as expensive not more than 500. The place has lions, leopards, cheetahs and other game. Total entrance cost is 215 for one person paid through E-citizen. Make sure to carry and ID if you are a citizen. A nice place to reconnect with nature and also see some new animals.

I visited Nairobi Safari Walk on a Saturday, and it was such a fun and relaxing experience. The boardwalk gives you real safari vibes, with animals like giraffes, zebras, and even the rare bongo. But the real stars? The monkeys! They’re all over the place, jumping around like they run the show 😂. Great spot to unwind, take pics, and feel close to nature without leaving the city.

The decor is too plain - no character-can't tell the style of the owner. The benches are fixed yet very far from the table so wondering how to sit. Asked for water for washing my hands. (at least this is available - VERY IMPORTANT). It seems they forgot Steak too salty (UNACCEPTABLE) - if this was CHOPPED, that chef would be on the chopping block) but concept def there & 😋 For a drink, i got the Jack daniels, peppermint & coke one - strrrong but 😋. Drink it fast enough or remove some ice if taking it slowly The good thing with covid, music is gentle. U can follow a conversation easily not shouting "what did u say?" with every statement After my meal, i still had room for more popcorn meaning not filling enough The server was chatty so could give my feedback Highlight was the supervisors/managers are hands on - they serve u personally then hand over the order. Rare & kudos.

Sky Lounge sits right at the heart of Nairobi CBD, on the ground floor opposite International House, making it one of those convenient stopovers whether you’re rushing to a meeting, catching up with friends, or just dodging Nairobi traffic for a breather. The vibe? Urban chic meets cozy chill — perfect for quick lunches, business coffee breaks, or unwinding in the evening. Their menu strikes a balance between tasty bites, refreshing drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you’ve discovered a small city escape in the middle of Moi Avenue’s buzz. Being right next to major landmarks like Kencom, Hilton Hotel (heritage spot), and the busy Mama Ngina Street, it’s a natural meeting point. The best part? You don’t even need to explain too much when meeting someone — just say “opposite International House” and everyone instantly gets it.

The ambience is amazing and the staff is attentive and fast. The food is okay. I requested for extra spicy wings but I didn't get that plus my chicken wings were partly raw

My go to the cocktail place in Nairobi. First things first is the view from the balcony. A nice place toast enjoy your food and drinks, while taking in fresh air, and taking the environment around Their cocktails are very potent. Happy hour 4-6pm (I think) the cocktails go for 500/= (select cocktails). My favorite is sex on the beach. And what I love about it is no headaches later. Introduced my friends here and they loved it, we even got two bowls of popcorns as accompaniments on the house.

Happy hour cocktail isnt nice at all

Nyc services..and we'll strategically placed in town

The steak sandwich and chicken curry with sautéed potatoes were just amazing. The ambience and music are lovely.

This restaurant/recreational centre is located in a very green scenery 💚 A great place to hold your meetings, team building activities, wedding receptions, etc. It also has very ample packing space. Why not go check it out!

Hosted my traditional wedding here in July 2021 and it was marvellous. The place is serene, very green and calm, the staff is friendly and super helpful.

Very serene place, with beautiful nature, to hang out for some quiet quality time. Awesome for weddings and functions. They have old field for that. A nature photo shoot could also work pretty well here... Did I see a dam with people fishing? 😊 Definitely going back!

My 3rd time shooting (twice being wedding) here and continue getting better experience... Nice place Am a tea Guy, your African tea is a bit overpriced and needs some improvement...

Simple yet really nice garden. Ideal for team building activities, weddings, personal quiet/reflective moments. They also serve meals on weekdays, you may consider dropping by for lunch. Well tended walk ways and spaces amidst the trees with sitting arrangements for small groups. There's two fairly large open space which could be used as is for outdoor games. Tents may also be pitched here for weddings and other huge events. There's three additional relatively smaller fields for team building events and closely knit parties Slight challenge with parking space; could only accommodate an estimated two hundred cars max. Rooms available for indoor gatherings, kitchen service could be requested at fair rates. Learnt that they have the capacity to offer full packages that'd include tents, seat, decour, catering... Small water catchment also on site at the extreme end of the compound with an outlet. Water seems to be going in from what looks like several streams that criss cross the premises. These running streams have been designed to produce soothing sounds along their course. Wonder whether there's anything to catch here??! Really warm and helpful staff and an accommodating management team; keep it going.

Tasty food with great green ambience. Drinks are rather pricey. The staff is very polite and hospitable. Good venue for weddings and hanging out with large groups. Closes early by around 7PM.

Its a cool touch of nature filled with awesome natural sceneries a water body a lot of trees and nice work staff ample parking space a kids play section and enough space for any function.Gardens add a romantic touch to the place and an affordable eatery

Amazing gardens with beautiful views and lake front. Would be great for a wedding!

Very cozy place. Just go chill with your loved ones without the sight of any building around. Just nature. It is a private place where only the best sights on nature can be found. There is plenty of playground for kids, teams, and events. 👌 Do you need a perfect wedding location? Here it is no need to travel further for photo shoot . You should take a visit soon.

Such a lovely place to go have a personal time. Very serene, and ooh.....they are the real garden of Eden, they have avocados🥑 growing in there😋. Would definitely go back there over and over again.

A great place to go and rewind by the waters of the lake. Cool and ambient environment. You pay 500 per head and 5000 for photography. Other details negotiate with the management.

Great serene garden for weddings and relaxation. It's easy to locate, yet hidden away from the public eye. It's set next to a dam, giving it a cool breeze all day.

Attended a mate’s wedding at Paradise Gardens and loved the place. Spacious,airy and right next to the water,perfect for a quick nature getaway within Nairobi’s outskirts. Only pitfall would be the dusty rough road and ‘not so legible’ signage leading to the location.Don’t worry,it’s not that bad…most cars can manage. Try it,you’ll love it!

Beautiful and serene place with a great garden and pond view that are even more stunning at sunset. However the entrance fee is a bit too expensive bearing in mind there isn't anything you get except for access to the grounds. There isn't much to do here except maybe set up your own picnic and bring your own entertainment, and the grounds are not the biggest around. Paradise Lost that they are practically neighbours with charges half the entrance fee while offering endless grounds to explore and a couple fun activities to engage in. So you get my groove. Unless you just want a beautiful, green garden to chill that's lesser known, I'd highly recommend Paradise Lost instead.

The Lake House Tigoni is a beautiful and serene venue nestled on an 8-acre estate in the highlands of Limuru, just 25 kilometers from Nairobi. Its picturesque gardens and stunning lake views create an enchanting atmosphere that makes it hard to leave. The venue is versatile, accommodating various events such as picnics, birthday parties, weddings, engagements, and live concerts. I highly recommend The Lake House Tigoni for anyone seeking a memorable and tranquil setting for their special occasions.  

Lakehouse Tigoni is a stunning venue surrounded by nature, offering tranquility and elegance in equal measure. I had the pleasure of attending a supper club here, and the experience was exceptional—delicious food, warm ambiance, and excellent service. A truly memorable spot for gatherings.Suitable for weddings, private lunches, birthday parties and any type of event as well . Highy recommend #TigoniLifeApproved

Amazing gardens and lake view!

This property is lovely. About 40 minutes from town you drive in it’s like the middle of nowhere. Tucked between lush gardens it has a good chill vibe. Best enjoyed with a group of friend as it sleeps 9. There’s a dam in the property so you get to enjoy boat roads which is sooo cool.

The Lake House was a beautiful venue, The food Was awesome, the staff warm, friendly and attentive , our flowers were so pretty and unexpected and our hosts were over the top. We made memories there we will Never forget. If you need event venue you will not ever regret choosing the Lake House.

One of the most beautiful spots in Kenya to host your event. Hidden in plain sight, The Lake House is only accessible by reservation but it is worth the drive/commute to TIGONI. The lawns are well manicured, the lake is beautiful as well as safety guaranteed on and off ground. This is the place to be to make an impression and a lifetime of memories.

Plenty of parking area, great and well maintained grass area that’s quite vast, amazing and plenty of outdoor spaces, great services

Cute spot for coffee altho i probably will be back to try their lunch menu as it looks good. I had the thai omelette which was nice. Heavy! The tempura veggies could do with other vegetables aside from only onions. The creme brulee latte was delish!

Update 13 Oct 2024 Today the food was very bad - ordered their new boa sandwich with scrambled egg - there was no taste to it. They need to improve this sandwich - the bao is soft and it pairs well with crunchy tofu etc. but not with soft egg and siracha sauce. The need to revisit this menu option - I did not find it palatable What a gem of a restaurant - that too, Asian pure vegetarian and vegan food. Each and every item on the menu is thoughtfully crafted - I had their California tofu bao sandwich and it was delicious. Their sauces have magic to it - they are incredibly tasty. Whether you savor their sesame coleslaw salad which comes with an orangish zesty dressing or have their vegan haragu dumplings which comes with a chili oil accompaniment and a “green sweet and spicy chili oil accompaniment” (superlative *****) the flavors are unimaginably tasty. Highly recommended !! The service is very attentive and courteous and staff work so hard throughout the day - kudos to them !!

The food was amazing. The passion mojito was quite resilient. Kezia Njeri served us with a lot of patience 5 stars to her Please return the stew served in a pineapple to the menu. It was a hit

I really appreciate the service... Amazing drinks (Ask for Kimberly 😉) Don't say I didn't tell you!

Can't get enough of this restaurant. Can't get enough of it A vegetarian spot as well. You'll love it I recommend the mango margarita

Great staff Delectable treats. Chocolate cookies Crazy amazing cheesecakes! Matcha opera And rose pistachio cheesecake! (But the coffee— ☕️ ewww- don’t bother- just sweets!)

This place is one of my favorite restaurants. It's a cozy place, and I love it. I visited today with my husband and had a good time with special cuisine. We had dumplings(loved the chewy dough and special small side dishes), curry breakfast, skewers of hallumi and mushroom, and the summer salad. And we also had a pistacchio croissant. It became one of my favorite desserts. We enjoyed them all alot. Will visit soon again with my girl for a date. I am definitely sure she would love it!

The place to be and do your fruits and vegetables shopping,get some grilled chicken and few beers...you should visit 😋

Affordable place to eat. Best meat place

Very nice and good customer service
