Best Destination-Laos

Nairobi's Best Attractions

History- The history of Nairobi goes back to about 100 years. The city originated when a railway track from Mombassa to Uganda was being established in 1896. The construction of the railway track necessitated the migration of labour, especially of Indian origin, into this region. All these activities had a growth potential which saw its conclusion in the year 1900, when this region was given the status of a town by the British government. In 1907 Nairobi became the capital of East Africa, a position it snatched from Mombassa. The first plan of Nairobi was conceived in 1926, although many of its elements were never realized due to economic depression and the Second World War. When Kenya gained its independence in 1963 Nairobi remained the capital city of the new republic. Since then, the city has witnessed several changes which have turned the city into one of Africa's leading regional centers.
