Etymology
Nairobi comes from a Maasai phrase Enkare Nairobi meaning 'cool water', named for the river and springs in the area that people used as a watering place. So imagine the city as the 'place of cool water' where travellers met and watered their animals, a meeting spot that later grew into Kenya's capital and a busy hub for travel and trade.
