The Waterfront Karen

Langata Road, Karen, Nairobi Open daily

Beside The Waterfront mall in Karen sits Maji Magic, an inflatable aqua park on the lake — a floating obstacle course of slides, trampolines and climbing walls that children can spend a happy hour falling off. Electric bumper boats suit smaller kids, and there's kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding for older ones. The mall behind it covers food, shade and shopping for whoever stays dry.

Good to know: Sessions run about an hour and life jackets are provided — bring towels and a full change of clothes, and check the minimum age for the aqua park.
