Uhuru Park
Uhuru Gardens, Nairobi Overview
Uhuru Gardens is Kenya's largest urban commemorative and memorial park, located along Langata Road, Nairobi. It was established to celebrate the country’s independence from the British Empire in 1963 and was declared a National Monument in 1966. It houses three historically significant monuments that draw the attention of tourists
The lush green gardens are within a 15-minutes driving distance of the city centre. A Mũgumo tree stands erect at the place where the first Kenyan flag was hoisted post-independence. It is also significant to the ethnic native community of central Kenya, the Kikuyu people. A commemorative monument standing tall at 24m with clasped hands and a dove sculpture signify Kenya’s freedom. Beside the memorial is a statue with soldiers raising the Kenyan flag. A fountain in the garden honours 25 years of independence. An identification card is usually required at the time of entry.
