Jambo / Habari (Swahili) or Hello
How locals say hello in Nairobi
Dry season (July–October) for safaris
Nairobi has the world's only national park within a city — you can see lions with the skyline behind them.
Nairobi was born from a railway camp. In 1899, the British Uganda Railway — nicknamed the Lunatic Express — reached Mile 327 and workers stopped to resupply at a Maasai spring called Enkare Nairobi, cool waters. The British decided to make it a depot, and within eight years it was the colonial capital of British East Africa — one of the only major cities on Earth not established on an ancient settlement or natural harbour, but purely because of a train schedule.
Nairobi is Africa's Silicon Savannah — it's the tech startup capital of the continent, home to M-Pesa (mobile money used by 96% of Kenyans).
