My final weekend before “re-locating” to Tanzania for the
elections, I visited Nairobi to see a Kenyan friend. They had arranged for us
to go up the KICC tower in the Central Business District. http://www.kicc.co.ke/index.php/about-the-building
This gives you an amazing view of the Nairobi panorama. This is on my top 10
list of things to do in Nairobi. It is about 200 shilings for nationals and
around 400 for others (from memory!!). Luckily there is a lift to the top
almost 30 storeys up. Also we had the privilege of being on our own up there to
enjoy the view. The photo is a 360 degree panorama that will be too small as it
appears on here but if you blow it up you will get the idea. Anyone wanting the
full resolution version let me know.
After a quick lunch we then jumped on a Matatu for the
Nairobi Safari Park where there is a safari walk. http://www.kws.org/parks/education/nairobi_safariwalk.html It is a little zoo like but
you get a good view of the animals – see the leopard below!! And it is a nice
relaxing stroll and place to chill out. Again, recommended. If you are a
resident remember your ID! I did not and had to pay 1800 kenya shillings rather
than around 200 to 400. Another good and recommended day trip in Nairobi.
