Welcome to Nairobi Info - A Guide to Accommodation, Activities, Restaurants and Businesses in Nairobi, Kenya

Being Kenya's capital, Nairobi, is a typical city - busy, overcrowded and hot.  Located in its own region of Kenya, Nairobi has only been increasing in size and population since 1899.  Today it is East Africa's economic, commercial and transport centre.
