The Nairobi Kenya Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in Nairobi, Kenya. Announced on April 2, 2017, by church president Thomas S. Monson during general conference. It is the church's first constructed in both Kenya and in East Africa. The temple serves members in Kenya and neighboring countries, including Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and South Sudan. Located on a 3.435-acre (1.39 ha) site in Mountain View, Nairobi, the temple has a single-story design with a cast-in-place concrete frame and Portuguese Moleanos limestone exterior. Its architecture uses local cultural elements, such as the agapanthus flower motif, reflecting Kenya's prominence as a leading exporter of flowers in Africa. The interior includes two instruction rooms, two sealing rooms, and a baptistry, with native designs and artwork inspired by the Kenyan savanna. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 11, 2021, presided over by Joseph W. Sitati, a general authority and president of the church's Africa Central Area. After construction was completed, a public open house was held from April 17 through May 3, 2025, excluding Sundays. The temple was dedicated on May 18, 2025, by Ulisses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.
