Grab a bite at KK Restaurant. Their economical African fare like beef stew with managu or grilled tilapia is a solid way to start the evening. The kitchen is open until 19:00, so you have plenty of time before the sun dips.

Walk over to Uhuru Park. It is a spacious park in the city centre with a monument and playground. The walk from the restaurant is short, and the open space gives you a clear view of the western horizon as the day winds down.

Watch the sunset. On 15 January the sun sets at 18:47 toward the WSW. The golden light starts around 18:18, casting a warm glow over the park and the city skyline.
19:32
End the evening at Jeevanjee Gardens. This open garden in the Central Business District is a quiet place to reflect after the sunset. It is a short walk from Uhuru Park, making it an easy final stop for the night.
Local tip
The park can get lively on weekends and national holidays, so expect more people if you visit then. Keep an eye on your belongings in the central area.
