The best place to unwind in Eldoret by taking a nature walk and having an aerial view of the town from the well built tower

This place is alright to say the least... It is open to the public, and often unmanned, thereby no entrace fees. The walking paths are well paved and extend all over the place. Multiple sitting benches available and also intense vegetation is thriving inducing the notion the place is not regularly maintained. Despite everything, it is worth a check out as it is accessible especially to guys on the "other" side of town. No restrictions on what you can bring into the park, or who you can bring 😁 but I would strongly recommend you visit the place in the evenings. The trees 🌲🌳🌴 are just growing now, so not much shade. Overall, it sucks because there are no immediate shops so one has to be prepared but it is worth a visit.
