Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and, with roughly 5.5 million inhabitants, one of Africa's largest cities. Situated at around 1,700 metres above sea level near the equator, it serves as the political and economic hub of East Africa. The city is marked by cultural and religious diversity: landmarks such as St. Pius Catholic Church, the World Fellowship Church, and the KU Mosque reflect its varied communities, while the JKUAT Clock Tower stands as a recognisable feature of the university district. The bustling Wapewape Market offers an authentic glimpse into everyday city life.
