Nairobi

Nairobi balances the drive of a fast-growing East African capital with grassland at its southern edge, a contrast shaped by its position beside Nairobi National Park. The city developed from a railway depot established in 1899 for the Uganda Railway and remains Kenya’s political and commercial centre. Nairobi National Park, directly south of the urban core, supports wildlife including black rhinoceros, while the Ngong Hills rise to the west. Uhuru Park and the Kenya National Archives add civic and cultural landmarks to a city animated by markets, cafés and contemporary art.
