Nairobi, however you want it.

Welcome to Nairobi, a city that boasts a fascinating history as diverse as the wildlife that surrounds it. Once colonized by the British East Africa Protectorate in the 19th century, Nairobi's fertile lands served as a significant hinterland for the mother country during the WWI era. But don't let its colonial past fool you - Nairobi's foundation in 1899 was far from being a deserted swamp hidden deep in the ridges of Kenya. Settlers were soon confronted with the persistence of the indigenous Maasai people, who eventually regained the country's independence in 1963. Today, Nairobi's peaceful coexistence between cultures gives the city a charmingly eclectic feel. Experience this incredible diversity all over the city. With over 50 national parks and reserves, Kenya's flora and fauna remain incredibly rich and are only disturbed by goggling safari-goers. But Nairobi, once a humble depot used for the construction of the Uganda railway, has quickly developed into East Africa's major economic hub. The city's skyscraper-rich horizon is a testament to the steady influx of investments that adorn Nairobi year by year.
