Nairobi
Nairobi was founded in 1899 by colonial authorities in British East Africa, as a rail depot on the Uganda - Kenya Railway. The town quickly grew to replace Mombasa as the capital of Kenya in 1907.

The city lies in the south central part of Kenya, at an elevation of 1,795 metres (5,889 ft).
