The name Nairobi originates from the Maasai phrase, 'Enkare Nairobi', translating to 'place of cool waters'. Founded in 1899 as a railway depot, it progressed rapidly to become the capital city of Kenya in 1907. Nairobi soon developed into a global hub for business and culture, housing over 1000 major international companies, organisations, and the Nairobi Securities Exchange, the second-oldest in Africa.

With its strategic location at 1795 meter elevation, Nairobi blends urban complexity with natural allure. Proudly boasting the Nairobi National Park, the city provides flush wildlife encounters alongside its commercial briskness. As night falls, Nairobi transforms into a jovial city, with a vibrant nightlife scene that proudly reflects its rich cultural heritage.

When to visit Nairobi

If wildlife viewing ranks high on your travel priorities, the dry span from June to October is the optimum time to discover Nairobi's indigenous species. The famous wildebeest migration, a spectacle not to be missed, occurs within the same period, making the city an absolute delight for nature enthusiasts.

However, be wary of encountering adverse weather during the peak of the rainy season. If low costs appeal to you, consider capitalising on the reduced rates in the low season, keeping in mind that popular parks may be densely crowded. Whenever you choose to visit, Nairobi promises a vibrant kaleidoscope of experiences that seamlessly combines the thrill of untamed wildlife with the allure of contemporary urban life.
