Fodor's Expert Review Mama Ngina Waterfront

Named after Kenya's very first First Lady, this popular ocean front stretch of road popularly known as 'Mama Ngina Drive' was renovated and reopened in October 2019 to reveal landscaped grounds, paved and palm tree-lined walkways, a jetty, amphitheater, and a cultural center. Drive, jog, skate, stroll, or simply find a spot to relax and watch ships sail by. You can buy souvenirs and street snacks such as deep-fried cassava crisps, or viazi karai (battered and fried potatoes). There's also a nightclub and a restaurant nearby.
