KICC Rooftop Entry Charges: Explore Nairobi from Above

The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) remains one of Nairobi’s most iconic landmarks. Located along Harambee Avenue in Nairobi’s City Square, this 28-storey skyscraper stands at 105 metres and ranks among Kenya’s tallest buildings.
