How true this sign is, you can check it yourself if you visit the amazing Clock Tower of Nairobi.
Features of the structure
The clock tower is in the heart of Nairobi . Its height reaches 140 meters, so it is considered the highest in Africa. The construction of the building is strong enough, she calmly suffered more than one earthquake, and the sun's rays did not damage any of her bricks.
The building is divided into 28 floors. Everyone is carefully monitored, and more than 1000 surveillance cameras are installed in the premises. Without documents, it will be difficult for you to get inside the tower, and without a good reason, too. In the city you can find a couple of offices that deal with helicopter flights. Thanks to this air transport (and special permission) you can get to the very top of the Clock Tower and see Nairobi as in the palm of your hand. Alas, this entertainment is quite expensive, so many tourists can only watch this excellent attraction of Kenya from the outside.
How to get there?
The clock tower is located on the main street of Nairobi, so getting to it will not be problematic. To her often go public buses, and a taxi without problems and quickly enough will take you from any end of the city to this landmark.
