Best Things To Do In Nairobi, Kenya

Nairobi is the capital city of the country Kenya. The city has a population of about 3,138,369 residents and is famous for being the only major town in the world with a game reserve. The name of the city originated from its original inhabitants who were the Maasai people, and it means cold waters. The name was brought about by a river within the city called the Nairobi River. The city, which was then a town back in the 1800s, had once been wiped off by a plague and fire, but later in the 1900s it was completely rebuilt and even replaced Mombasa as the capital city in 1905. After independence and struggles between the Kikuyu people and the Maasai people, the city has rapidly grown. The city has many places that you could visit and here are some of my recommendations. *Did we pique your curiosity about Nairobi?
