Discovering Nairobi
Nairobi is the Capital City of Kenya. The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Ewaso Nyirobi, which translates to "the place of cool waters". Founded in 1899 as a simple rail depot linking Mombasa to Uganda, the town quickly grew to become the capital of British East Africa in 1907.Eventually the capital of the Kenyan Republic in 1963. Nairobi is the most populated City in East Africa, with a current estimated population of about 3 million people.
