It is quite a busy city with early birds going to catch their worms. The city is also very clean judging from the industrious garbage trucks that do a superb job. It has a wonderful park which is in the central business district. The nairobi safari park is captivating with wonderful wildlife.

Nairobi is the city in the sun. The weather is fantastic and the food is healthy yet affordable. It gets very busy Monday to Saturday. The downtown CBD gets noisy, extremely busy and polluted mostly because of the local transport means termed “matatus”. Always be on the lookout wherever you go downtown. And as much as possible, always ask a local to escort you when are out and about!

Nairobi was for many days considered to be the “green city under the sun.” However, now one needs to be prepared for high levels of pollution from the industries and the increased growth of the population. The incidences of respiratory diseases are high and hence hospital bills are always incurred.

It is a busy city. The city has many beautiful places. There are many cool places to eat and have fun. There are facilities that offer many essential services. The city is clean. Although some areas are dirty. There are well put sewage systems. The security is also uptight. Cases of crime have reduced over the years.

Nairobi is the city under the sun. It has a beautiful national park, an animal orphanage, recreational sites and amazing malls. Despite the hustle and bustle in the city, it is a great place. However, there is noise pollution especially from “matatus” and air pollution from industries.
