Get to know Nairobi

Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and the east African nation's largest city, with a population of approximately three million people inhabiting an area of nearly 700 sq km.

It has a relatively short history, having been founded by the British in 1899 as a depot on the railway linking Mombasa to Uganda, but has played an important role in its country's development over the past century. It became the capital of British East Africa in 1907 before assuming the same role for the free republic that was created when Kenya was liberated from colonial rule in 1963.

Today, Nairobi is one of the most significant political and corporate centres in Africa, providing a home for thousands of businesses and major international organisations such as the United Nations Environment Programme.

Travelers can head to some of the attractions and see the sights on offer in this modern, multicultural city to learn more about its history and absorb its culture.

Five must sees in Nairobi

Nairobi is surrounded by plains, cliffs and forest that form one of the area's most popular tourist attractions - Nairobi National Park. Visitors can embark on walks and safari drives to see some of the park's wildlife, including lions, wildebeest, zebra, cheetahs and rhinos.

Animal lovers might also fancy paying a visit to the Langata Giraffe Centre just outside the city, which serves as a sanctuary for the rare Rothschild giraffe. Guests can see the animals up close, hand-feed them and capture some special photographs.

The National Archives at the former Bank of India building in the centre of Nairobi provide an insight into the human history and culture of the city. The collection includes an array of fascinating items and exhibits, including artworks, historical photos, furniture and tribal objects. Similar sights are on offer at the National Museum.

Kenya's capital city is home to several sites and buildings of religious importance, one of the most impressive of which is Jamia Mosque. Visitors can admire the impressive Arabic Muslim-style architecture - with aspects including domes, minarets and marble features - from the outside, but non-Muslims are rarely allowed to enter.

One of Nairobi's most famous and interesting former residents is the writer Karen Blixen, whose novel Out of Africa provided her account of living in Kenya. At the Karen Blixen Museum, 10km outside the city centre, visitors can take guided tours to learn more about the author's life and the time she spent in Africa.
