Continue walking straight for about 1 kilometer until you reach the entrance to The Nairobi Arboretum, which will be on your right side at Kilimani Arboretum Road.
Boda Boda (Motorcycle Taxi)
For a quicker option, you can hire a boda boda. Simply find a boda boda stand near your location in Lavington, or use a ride-hailing app. Tell the rider you want to go to The Nairobi Arboretum on Kilimani Arboretum Road off State House Road. The fare should be approximately 100-200 Kenyan Shillings, depending on your exact starting point and traffic conditions.
