Getting There

The Waterfront Karen is located on Langata Road, Nairobi. From the CBD, the fastest route is via Valley Road and Ngong Road onto Langata Road, taking roughly 30-36 minutes (about 16.5-16.8km) depending on traffic. An alternative route continues on Ngong Road, passing Daystar University and the African Wildlife Foundation, before joining Langata Road at the roundabout near the venue.
