Headquarters and the Nairobi Stock Exchange, this city houses political and
financial power. The weather is
described as a moderate climate, with the sunniest and warmest months between
December and March. When visiting, enjoy

football game or enjoy one of the many golf courses the city has to offer. If you have come to Africa
to experience its wild outdoors, then you must stop at the Nairobi National Park. It was Kenya’s first established national

need for protected land is epitomized by the view of skyscrapers from the
park. It is one of the most successful
rhinoceros sanctuaries. The Giraffe Center is a must see attraction, the
place where the endangered Rothschild Giraffe is bred and introduced back into
the wild. Nairobi also has great shopping, wonderful
