Graham H

We visited because we saw the publicity claiming these were the best gardens in Nairobi. However, we genuinely thought this was the worst visit in our 5-week stay. It may be the ideal venue for weddings, birthdays, etc. but if you're looking for a peaceful walk in a Kenyan botanical garden don't go here. We visited early in the week after there had obviously been a number of weekend parties and the staff were busy clearing up the various post-party rubbish sites. The lake could only be seen through a wire fence and could not be walked around. The different garden areas looked awful and the cafe offered very little choice. We had originally intended to stay for two hours but left after only 30 minutes, confused and thankful that we had put this visit behind us.
