About

When it's open, you can watch planes take off while sitting beside animal portraits in the gardens — there's a healing calm to the whole place. Call ahead before visiting; as of February 2025, both entrances have been periodically closed with armed guards posted.

I attended the EAC MSME trade fair 2025.

Attended the Magical Kenya Tourism Expo 2024 it was amazing

Very disappointed. Went to both entrances which were CLOSED with an armed guard posted. Barrier tape was in place across both entrances. Do not waste your time. Feb. 2025

If you haven't been here you are missing out for sure 🔥
