Adolfus kibonotensis, also known as Jackson's forest lizard (vernacular name shared with Adolfus jacksoni), is a species of lizard found in Kenya and Tanzania. It was originally described as a subspecies of Adolfus jacksoni in 1907 before being reduced into a synonym, but was resurrected as a full species in 2018. Wikipedia →

No species of the same family or order lives in Nairobi, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Jackson's Forest Lizard sighting in Nairobi on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 3rd most-seen of the 9 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, August and December
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Jackson's Forest Lizard in Nairobi on a given day, against under 5% in September, the lowest month.
Between 10 am and 1 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Jackson's Forest Lizard sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Nairobi, in our data
Nairobi is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Jackson's Forest Lizard sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Jackson's Forest Lizard is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Nairobi (18 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
