The city is characterized by series of stunning iconic buildings and skyscrapers with post-modern architecture such as KICC and the The Times Tower, which is the tallest skyscraper in East Africa. I started my day at KICC before heading to Uhuru Park. KICC building is the most iconic skyscraper in Nairobi. Located within the city centre, KICC is a 28-story building with a helipad on the rooftop. It offers amazing sky-high views of Nairobi. I went to the helipad to catch the amazing views of the city. From KICC Helipad, I enjoyed the sweeping views of Nairobi skyline; I could see the Kenya Parliament Building, Uhuru Park, The Times Tower, Kenya Power Building, and other beautiful attractions. \u00a0KICC Helipad is pretty much a must-visit because you don\u2019t get the chance to enjoy a view like that \u2026 even in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Location: Harambee Ave, Nairobi City, Kenya<\/span> | <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><a style=\"color: #339966;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/\/KICC,+KICC,+P.O.+Box+30746,+Nairobi\/@-1.2886039,36.7864548,13z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x182f10d8486bd945:0xe16e66edd90180d!2m2!1d36.823363!2d-1.28869!3e0\" target=\"_blank\">Get Directions<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/DSCF1730.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1730\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>The Parliament Building, Nairobi | Photo by Oluwakemi<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36387\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/DSCF1705.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1705\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>The Time Tower, Nairobi | Photo by Oluwakemi<\/h5>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Uhuru Park<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Uhuru-Park-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Uhuru Park\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Uhuru Park | Photo by Oluwakemi<\/h5>\n<p>Uhuru Park, the public recreation park in Nairobi is located in the city centre.

After a long week of hard work, locals head towards the park to chill and entertain themselves. Uhuru Park is covered with green grasses and surrounded by trees which provide silhouette for relaxation, an artificial lake and a number of national monuments. The park offers exciting activities such as boating, skateboarding, camel-riding, picnicking and many more. I enjoyed the beautiful water views and dramatic scenes at the park.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Location: Central Business District, Nairobi<\/span> | <span style=\"color: #339966;\"><a style=\"color: #339966;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/\/Uhuru+Park,+Nairobi\/@-1.290394,36.816583,17z\/data=!4m13!1m4!3m3!1s0x182f10db1737160d:0xa80e474be4afaf5d!2sUhuru+Park!3b1!4m7!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x182f10db1737160d:0xa80e474be4afaf5d!2m2!1d36.816583!2d-1.290394\" target=\"_blank\">Get Directions<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Camel-Riding-at-Uhuru-Park.jpg\" alt=\"Camel Riding at Uhuru Park\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<h5>Camel Rides at Uhuru Park | Photo by Oluwakemi<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Uhuru-Park1.jpg\" alt=\"Uhuru Park1\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelstart.com.ng\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Uhuru-park-Monument.jpg\" alt=\"Uhuru park Monument\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Nairobi Java House &#8211; Mama Ngina<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Nairobi has an abundance of great restaurants and cafes.
