Bomas of Kenya seeks US$2.4m for amusement park in Nairobi

Summary: The proposed amusement park would feature roller coasters, children playgrounds, a continuos film in a “futuristic theatre”, fun fair with ferries wheel, dodgems, mechanical games and a massive swimming pool with gigantic slides that should accommodate several hundred people. The park is expected to attract local and foreign visitors. The project is likely to be profitable, as there are few such facilities in the country.

Cost of investment: Estimated at US$2.4-million.


Company profile
Established in 1972, the Bomas of Kenya is set on an 83 acres in Langata, Nairobi.
