What the numbers say

Nairobi accounts for 24 notable places listed on OpenStreetMap in this cycle, all of them on August 2, 2026. Every row below is a record as its source published it — no estimate, no interpolation, and nothing carried over from a previous run.

That places Nairobi 1 of 3 among Africa, which is within a rounding error of the median for that group.

The most recent entries are Athletics Museum, KICC Observation Plattform, KUNEC Monument. This page is a view of public data and not a substitute for it — check the original before acting on any row.

The list, read out

Attractions account for 8 of the 24: KICC Observation Plattform, Lazarus, Good person, prearea hotel, Herbarium, Joys Home, KOLOBOT HEIGHTS and GP Karting. Museums account for 8 of the 24: Athletics Museum, Nairobi Railway Museum, The Judiciary Museum, Uhuru Park Museum, Kenya National Archives, Nairobi Gallery, Nairobi National Museum and Ojijo Rd.. Monuments account for 5 of the 24: KUNEC Monument, Kenyatta university environmental club, Warbugia Ugandensis(Muthiga), The Kenyatta University Graduate School and Cross. Memorials account for 3 of the 24: August 7th Memorial Park, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Memorial and Lionel Galton Fenzi Momument (Point Zero). Alphabetically the register runs from Athletics Museum to Warbugia Ugandensis(Muthiga).

That is 4 place types across 24 listings for Nairobi. Attractions are the largest group at 8, memorials the smallest at 3 — the mix is the map speaking, not this page: a type is whatever the OpenStreetMap record says it is.

The addresses OpenStreetMap files these places under touch 21 distinct localities, and they cluster: Church Road holds 2 (KUNEC Monument and Kenyatta university environmental club), Parliament Road holds 2 (Mzee Jomo Kenyatta Memorial and Cross) and Tom Mboya Street holds 2 (Lazarus and Kenya National Archives), while 18 localities carry one entry each — a rough sketch of where Nairobi keeps its notable ground.
