Nairobi
History
Nairobi
is the capital and largest city of Kenya. The city and
its surrounding area also form the Nairobi Province.
The name "Nairobi" comes from the Masai phrase
Enkare Nyirobi, which translates to "the place
of cool waters". However, it is popularly known
as the "Green City in the Sun".
During Kenya's colonial
period, the city became a center for the colony's coffee,
tea and sisal industry. Nairobi is also the capital
of the Nairobi Province and of the Nairobi District.
The city lies on the Nairobi River, in the south of
the nation, and has an elevation of 1795 meters above
sea-level.
Nairobi is the most
populous city in East Africa, with a current estimated
population of about 3.5 million. Nairobi is currently
the 13th largest city in Africa.
Nairobi is now one of the most prominent cities in Africa
politically and financially.
Home to many companies
and organizations, including the United Nations Environment
Programme and the UN Office in Africa, Nairobi is established
as a hub for business and culture. The Nairobi Stock
Exchange (NSE) is one of the largest in Africa, ranked
fourth in terms of trading volume and capable of making
10 million trades a day.
Between 1896 and 1898,
the Uganda Railway Company paid for by the British laid
railway tracks from Mombasa to Nairobi. Built under
tremendous human hardship, 600 miles long and six years
to build, “The Lunatic Line” transformed
East Africa, and by 1907, Nairobi had become the new
capital.
Situated 100 miles south
of the Equator, and 300 miles west of the Indian Ocean
at an elevation of 5,500 feet, Nairobi’s pleasant
climate has been an important factor in its booming
success. The nights are cool, the days are warm, the
temperature rarely exceeds 75 degrees and humidity is
low
The beauty of Nairobi
greets the visitor already from the air sighting the
colorful Bougainvillea lining avenues, highways, and
the beautiful Jacaranda Trees blossoming everywhere.
An oasis of modern conveniences,
Nairobi offers the visitor an array of high caliber
hotels and excellent restaurants and an abundance of
African culture and art. It is a virtual Spice for shopping
which often start with a visit to a local Safari Outfitter
for a custom-fit Safari Suit.
In addition to many
smart boutiques and art galleries, the shopping experience
will include traditional colorful outdoor African markets,
and while on Safari, the warm and friendly tribal roadside
vendors welcome negotiating their prices with you.
Among the many Kenyan
artifacts offered are Masai tribal ornaments and spears,
Merchaum pipes, hand woven sisal baskets and bags, as
well as a dazzling array of batiks, multi-colored fabrics,
and pottery and ebony carvings.
Elegant jewellery, gems
and corals are plentiful and inexpensive and Kenya offers
unexpected items such as colonial furniture and antique
Arabian doors.
