Nairobi – City in the Sun

Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya. The city and its surrounding area also forms the Nairobi County. The name “Nairobi” comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nyrobi, which translates to “cold water”

The city is cosmopolitan, colorful, bustling, and vibrant, complete with safari-sellers, vendors, markets, an exciting nightlife, buzzing music scene, and restaurants galore. Its central business district has towering buildings and upscale joints and it’s a great place to tune into modern urban African life.
Nairobi today remains what it has long been by day, the hectic, cosmopolitan hub of East Africa by night, a malaria-free city of cool evenings and quiet tropical gardens
The city is one of the few in Africa that offer good bookshops, restaurants, efficient banks, and an efficient telecommunications system. It is a place where you can get things done with the minimum amount of fuss in a timely fashion.
