This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Uhuru Gardens Memorial Park, Lang'ata Road, Nairobi Kenya

Uhuru Gardens, Kenya’s largest Memorial Park. Uhuru is a swahili word meaning freedom.


Duration: 20 minutes

Stop At: Kenyatta International Conference Center, Harambee Avenue, Nairobi 00100 Kenya

The KICC currently stands as the sixth tallest building in Kenya, reaching a height of just over 105 metres. It succeeded the Hilton Nairobi as the tallest building in Kenya, a position it held for 26 years before being surpassed by Teleposta Tower. The tower consists of 28 floors, including a revolving restaurant which offers panoramic views of the city, rotating 360° in 76 minutes. The building's light terracotta façade reflects traditional African architecture, as does the use of simple solid shapes- cuboids make up the Plenary hall, the tower consists of a cylinder composed of several cuboids and the amphitheater and helipad both resemble cones.

There are several well-equipped conference and meeting rooms with the largest having a capacity over 4,000 delegates. The KICC is equipped with Simultaneous Interpretation Equipment with a capability of up to seven languages, a modern business centre, a banking facility, tour and travel services, expansive grounds and ample and secure parking. It is often depicted as an icon of Nairobi.

Up until the 1980s, there was a 'revolving restaurant' atop the KICC that was popular with politicians and the elite, but years of neglect literally brought it to a halt, though concerted efforts in 2012 to revive it were somewhat short lived. The 148-seater restaurant has a revolving mortar programmed to make approximately one revolution in 76 minutes

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: August 7th Memorial Park, Moi Avenue/Hail Selassie Junction, Nairobi Kenya

his is also called the Bomb Blast memorial park or the August 7th Memorial Park. It is located along Haile Selassie Avenue, at the scene where the 1998 terrorist bomb attack took place. The Memorial park was built to commemorate the 7th August 1998 bombing attacks on the US Embassy. Due to this unfortunate occurrence, many Kenyans and some Americans fell victim of this day. This misfortune claimed 216 innocent souls, and a great number was critically injured and hospitalized. The park contains a board with names of the people who were reported dead due to the incident. This incident was believed to have been caused by suicide bombers linked to the Osama Bin Laden terrorism network.

The site has been rehabilitated into a garden of comfort for those directly affected by this misfortune as a living monument to mankind and condemnation of terrorism. Every year on the 7th of August, on its anniversary, there is a public commemorative ceremony for those who passed on.
