Nairobi is the capital of Kenya, and is situated in the highlands at an elevation of about 1660 m (about 5450 ft).
It is Kenya’s principal economic, administrative, and cultural center and is one of the largest and fastest growing cities in Africa.
Manufactures include processed food, textiles, clothing, building materials, and communications and transportation equipment. The city also has a large tourist industry.
Nairobi is a cosmopolitan city, lively, interesting and pleasantly landscaped. Its central business district is handily compact and it’s a great place to tune into modern urban African life.
Unfortunately, security, especially at night, is a definite concern, so visitors should take care.
