Nairobi has numerous vantage points from which to view the city's skyline.None matches the KICC rooftop in the outstanding views of the city it affords you.Not only do you have a 360 degree view of the central business district,but you can see the city limits in all directions.The contrast between building styles and greenery in different suburbs of the city is very evident as you scan the horizon on all directions.

You can make out some of the large green spaces like Uhuru Park,central park,city park,Railways Golf Course,Nairobi National Park,Karura Forest.You can also see planes landing and taking off from JKIA and Wilson airports.This paranomic view has become a favourite with photographers and filmmakers who frequently use this location for shooting documentaries.Even popular Kenyan Music artists Sauti Sol released a music video(Live and Die in Afrika) on the helipad.It surely is a place to visit when in Nairobi.
