Travel in Nairobi
Nairobi is a Masai term meaning 'the place of sweet waters'. This is where the Maasai used to bring their livestock to graze and drink water in the olden days. Today over 1.5 million people live and work in the city. A large part of this population has come here from the rural areas to work and after retirement they go back to their native homes in the country.Nairobi is a city, financial capital, administrative capital, province and the capital of Kenya. The main languages spoken here are Swahili and English which are the two national languages. There are many churches, mosques and temples where people of different faiths go to worship. Restaurants serve almost every kind of food, from local dishes to the most exotic. Curries from India and Pakistan are very popular as is Chinese, Arabian and European cuisine. Houses range from handsome mansions in large gardens to crowded rows of maisonettes, four-story blocks of flats, and shacks made of boxes and plastic sheets.
