Westgate Shopping Mall

Westgate Shopping Mall is one of Nairobi's best-known shopping centres, set on Mwanzi Road in the heart of Westlands and an easy drive from the city centre. It brings more than 80 stores together under one roof, from international fashion and sportswear labels to beauty, electronics, homeware and a Carrefour Market for everyday groceries.

Food is a big part of a visit, with cafés, fast-food counters and sit-down restaurants spread across the mall. For entertainment there is the Westgate Cinema showing the latest releases, a bowling and games zone, a kids' club and a fitness centre with a heated pool. Banks, a forex bureau, mobile-network shops and other services make it easy to run errands in one trip.

Shops are generally open every day from 9 AM to 8 PM, while some restaurants and entertainment outlets stay open later. The mall has parking for more than 550 cars. Store lists, movie times and offers are on the Westgate Shopping Mall website.
