Two Rivers Mall: Where shopping and leisure cross paths

A leisurely drive through the forest and curves of Limuru road on a Sunday afternoon will never be the same again. The once quiet road frequented by some of Nairobi’s richest citizens including politicians, Cabinet secretaries and top diplomats, has roared to life as motorists make their way to the biggest mall in the region. On any weekend today, one will be met by winding queues of traffic, at times stretching over a kilometre through the affluent Muthaiga, Gigiri, Runda and Rosslyn estates into the magnificent gates of Two Rivers Mall.

Already more than 200,000 people have visited the mall since it was opened, with most traffic reported in the first two weeks after it flew its doors open during this year’s Valentine’s Day. On average, about 10,000 people visited the mall daily in the fortnight alone.
