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 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.
