The KICC is Nairobi's most recognizable building — a 32-storey tower inspired by a traditional African hut. Take the lift to the rooftop helipad for the best 360° panoramic view of Nairobi: the city skyline, Uhuru Park, and on clear days, the Ngong Hills and Mount Kenya. It's the perfect photo stop on any city tour.

• Rooftop 360° city views
• Iconic 32-storey tower
• Best photo spot in Nairobi
• Views to Ngong Hills & Mt Kenya
• Historic conference venue

Uhuru ('Freedom') Park is Nairobi's most famous public park — a green oasis beside the city centre and a symbol of Kenya's democratic struggles, saved from development by Wangari Maathai's protests. Stroll past the lake, the Nyayo-era monuments, and the freedom corner, and watch Nairobians at play — boating, picnicking and relaxing under the jacaranda trees.

• Historic 'freedom corner'
• Boating lake & lawns
• Wangari Maathai legacy site
• City skyline views
• Adjacent to Central Park
