Nairobi, Kenya’s capital
city has risen in a single century from
a brackish uninhabited swampland to a
thriving modern capital. When railway
construction workers reached this area
in 1899, they set up a basic camp and
supply depot, simply called ‘Mile 327’.
The local Maasai called this highland
swamp Ewaso Nai’beri – the place of cold
water.
The camp became a rustic village, and
then a shanty town, which by 1907 was
the capital of all of British East
Africa. It was soon an important centre
for the colony and a mecca for
adventurers, hunters and travellers from
all over the world.
Modern Nairobi is still the safari
capital of the Africa, but the modern
world has quickly caught up with the
city. A frontier town no more, Nairobi
has become one of Africa’s largest, and
most interesting cities. Nairobi is a
city that never seems to sleep.
The entire town has a boundless energy,
and is thriving place where all of human
life can be found. This is a place of
great contrasts where race, tribe and
origin all become facets of a unique
Nairobi character.
The city has not lost its sense of the
past, with an excellent museum and the
historical home of Karen Blixen, author
of Out of Africa open to visitors. This
is not a modern capital separated from
the great wilderness that surrounds it.
Just outside the city is Nairobi
National Park, 113 sq kms of plains,
cliffs and forest.
The park is home to large herds of
Zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Giraffe and
more. Rhino, Cheetah, and a large number
of Lions are all found here, living wild
within 20 minutes of the centre of town.
Further out of town, the spectacular 27
metre deep 'Fourteen Falls' waterfalls
at Thika are perfect for a scenic day
trip. Nearby Ol Donyo Sabuk National
Park, is centred around an imposing
2,146 metre mountain.
For the adventurous, take an hour's
drive from town and you will find white
water rafting on the beautiful Tana
River.
From the wildlife to the nightlife,
Nairobi is a city unlike any other. With
a fantastic music scene, excellent
international restaurants and an endless
and colourful array of shops and
markets, there is plenty on offer for
the visitor.
