Uhuru Garden — Attraction in Majengo ward

Uhuru Garden in Mombasa along Moi Avenue is a public rest place where individuals and families come and enjoy themselves under big baobab trees.

It boasts beautiful trees and plants, many of which blossom wonderfully during the rainy season.

The gardens are located near a large, modern Islamic center, around which you will see many of the town’s Muslim population in traditional dress.

The park requires refurbishment to make it attractive.Uhuru fountain is dry with only a map of Africa visible from far in absence of a beautiful fountain that was there before. It requires a facelift to make it a nice and enjoyable place to visit as you enjoy a serene environment with the Pembe ya Ndovu just adjacent.

Mostly on weekends you will see several people visiting the park,from preachers to those enjoying the cold breeze from the nearby big baobab trees.

When you look up the branches of baobab trees ,you will realize that there are numerous bats hanging upside down from there. The sound they produce makes you have a short snap of sleep.

Nice place to visit...

It's a nice place, overcast with trees' branches and leaves overhead. A good place to sit and relax and maybe take a few photos. It has structure of the African continent somewhere near the middle, with each country marked out. It's a place to freely sit, think, read, maybe play a game with friends... Your games.

There are lots of birds in those trees... Including bats. So, if you care for crows and bats and the sounds of breeze and the cawing of crows and squeaking of bats, then you might have no problem.

It's a nice place that has seen better days.

Caution: there are usually a number of men loitering around and seating or sleeping on all the seats available. I've heard about atrocities like pilfering happening there, so you might wanna be careful. You want to carry your belongings on your person...

There is no enjoyment in a garden with restrictions where one can not sit freely on grass under a tree, lie down and enjoy nature. The creator put Adam and Eve in the garden of eden, he didn't tell them to keep off grass! The Holy book shows at Genesis 1:29, 2:8-9,15-16. So to me there is no garden there to enjoy, furthermore, all humanity can not fit there. The creator has future promise for us that He will soon restore the lost paradise for everyone in the new world please read The creator's promise in the Holy book at Isaiah 65: 21-22. Even in the Holy Quran we read the same in surah 21, Al-Anbiya (The Prophets), verse 105. Compare surah 39, Al-Zumar, (The Hordes),...
