The capital of Kenya is now a thriving metropolis that continues to grow rapidly in a country that covers 582,650 square kilometers (around twice the size of Nevada). Nairobi is always on the move, always changing.
While its name comes from a Maasai phrase meaning “the place of cool waters,” Nairobi is more commonly referred to as the “Green City in the Sun.”

Positioned between Somalia and Tanzania in Eastern Africa, it’s a place where residents and wild beasts live in close proximity — and might be the only city with a safari park on its doorstep.
