Green Shady place. It is quiet for family outing and groups retreat. There are places special for discussion and outdoor events grounds.

I have visited the Arboretum three times now. I really enjoy the serenity and the beauty of the park. When I want to rewind and do not have to go outside the city - this is my choice.

The first time I visited here in 2012, I was overwhelmed by the beauty and the usage of this park. People of all walks enjoying themselves, each other and nature. If you are lucky and go on a Sunday you may hear people singing praises. If the vervets are out and about you may get to watch the tiny babies cling to their momma's as they dance from tree top to tree top. There is a small cost for use of the toilet and sometimes someone will come by selling treats. The only sad thing about the arboretum is the amount of garbage thrown about. Please people, carry in, carry out.

The Arboretum is a lovely spot for a wander in a pleasant environment. Great for a picnic too, with some wildlife - particularly monkeys - to keep an eye out for.

This park is a nice retreat for locals, not much to see for tourists. Signs are in bad shape and not very helpful.

This place was a sanctuary for me and my husband while we were first in Kenya in 2003. It was an escape from the city, the hustle and bustle, the beggers, the dirt and the poverty. We went there to let our guard down and enjoy nature and that we did! We visitied more than once over our 6 week stay in Kenya and never tired of the tree monkey's and the beauty. I have to choose a date this year to add this review, but, I havn't gone there this year.

Best on a weekday. The park is full of life and a wonder to see. Wear proper coverage, there are ticks. Sunday is filled with worshippers enjoying the outspdoors so if that's not your thing avoid it he park on the weekends.

It is a small park to be and play or enjoy the day with friends, there are some areas were you can have picknick and a good place for playing some sport games.

there is an extensive jogging trail through the trees,its very theraputic. it gets abit crowded on the weekends.

Its a quiet place, mostly groups when I looked around. Loved seeing monkeys around and if you are friendly they are friendly too. They eat biscuits. One or two noisy preachers will join you to make a trio so this is not the place for a date.

It is a brilliant place to take a walk in the city it is a very green place with very large mature trees which are very old. If you like to jog its also conclusive for it. Keep Nairobi Green.

The Nairobi Arboretum is an ideal place for weekend and holiday activities for children, teens or couples. It's also good for meditation, relaxing, prayers or just quiet reading away from noise. It is easily accessible from the City Center and one can walk up to it from the CBD. There's plenty of shade during the hot seasons and plenty of picnic space. Litter is strictly not allowed so visitors have to be very careful about cleaning up after themselves. Visitors not allowed to stay after 6pm.

The Nairobi Arboreturm always offers a serene spot for birding and spotting of unique species during the bird migration season.
