Nairobi has for decades been referred as the safari ‘Gateway to East Africa’. This is due to the fact that being Kenya’s Capital City, it has internationally acceptable facilities that draw airlines and investors from all corners of the globe. With an estimated population of over 3 million people, Nairobi is the largest city in East Africa. Nairobi is a cosmopolitan city, financial centre, administrative capital, province and the capital of Kenya. English is largely spoken in Nairobi. It has also become one of the safest cities in Africa with the improvement of security and eradication of criminals on the now well lit and tidy streets. There are many star-rated hotels to choose from, budget to luxury accommodation.
