Uhuru Park is a 12.9-hectare green space bordering Nairobi’s bustling central business district. Opened in 1969 by Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, it features an artificial lake, walking trails, manicured lawns, and monuments such as the Freedom Corner, where Wangari Maathai led pivotal environmental protests. Expect a leisurely visit to a beautiful park, with opportunities for picnicking, strolling, boat rides on the lake, and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
