Lonely Planet review for Kenyetta Conference Centre

Towering over City Square, Nairobi's signature building the Kenyetta Conference Centre was designed as a fusion of modern and traditional African styles, though the distinctive saucer tower looks a little dated next to some of the city's flashier glass edifices.

Staff will accompany you up to the viewing platform and helipad on the roof for wonderful views over Nairobi. The sightline goes all the way to the suburbs, and on clear days you can see aircraft coming in to land over the Nairobi National Park. You're allowed to take photographs from the viewing level but not elsewhere in the building. Access may be restricted during events and conferences.

    Nairobi- better from above.

    119nairobi recommends this,

    You know you are reaching for things to do when you go up a tall building, but it was a great view around Nairobi. The cost is high at 400 KSH but so is the building. It's the second tallest building in Nairobi with views for Africa. If you are staying longer, wait until you have your alien/resident card and go up for 200 KSH.
    For those who are suicidal which you may be if you live in Nairobi, there is a perfect jumping platform from the helipad. The guard that escorts you up there will make it difficult though. Our guard recommended going at sunset for the best views and photos and we plan on taking his advice.
