Editor's Review
Sue Gardens is a hidden gem in Nairobi, offering a lush, tranquil escape from the city's concrete sprawl. As a private venue, it is primarily geared toward curated events like weddings and photoshoots, meaning you must book in advance to secure access to the grounds.
If you are looking for a more casual, budget-friendly alternative for a nature walk without the need for a private booking, consider the nearby Oloolua Nature Trail, which offers similar indigenous greenery at a fraction of the cost.
The Cost: Pricing is not standardized as it is a private event space; expect to pay a venue hire fee for photography or events, with catering costs provided upon request based on your specific headcount and menu requirements.
The Experience: Visiting Sue Gardens feels like stepping into a private oasis. The terrain consists of manicured, lush green terraces that are visually stunning but require physical effort to navigate; be prepared for some walking up and down steep garden steps.
What you can get: You can get a professional-grade backdrop for photography, intimate hosting services for baby or bridal showers, and personalized catering options provided by the host, Sue, who is highly regarded for her hospitality.
Final Verdict: Sue Gardens is a top-tier choice for those prioritizing aesthetics and privacy for their celebrations, provided you are comfortable with the terraced landscape and have planned your visit in advance.

Sue gardens are so beautiful and serene with their lush green gardens. Perfect for photoshoots, hosting small intimate weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, and even kids' parties. The host- Sue, is a very nice lady too and offers catering.

It's a really cool place but you must be physically fit to get down and up the terraces.
