Nairobi City Park

Limuru Road, Parklands, Nairobi Open daily

City Park is one of Nairobi's oldest green spaces, a stretch of indigenous forest and lawns in Parklands that has been steadily restored in recent years with boardwalks, a maze, murals and a children's playground. Troops of Sykes' monkeys are the main attraction for kids, along with plenty of room to run and shaded picnic spots under enormous old trees. It's central, cheap and easy to fold into an ordinary weekend.

Good to know: Keep snacks bagged and out of sight — the monkeys are bold and quick.
