Nairobi has become a thriving modern capital from a brackish uninhabited swampland. In 1899 the railway workers reached the area and set up a basic camp. The highland swamp was called Ewaso Naiberi by the local Maasai. It is the melting pot of various culture, commerce, community.
Nairobi has developed from a rustic village to a shanty town and finally by 1970 the capital of all of British East Africa. It is the favorite place of hunters, travelers, adventurers.
Nairobi is still the capital safari of Africa.

Nairobi character. The National Museum, Karen Blixen Museum and other museums try to uphold the past.
