The sightseeing tour of Nairobi, the capital city of Kenya includes a visit to the National Museum, the Snake Park and the City Market. Your driver will take you through Nairobi’s busy streets to see Kenyatta International Conference Centre and the Parliament Buildings. The name "Nairobi" comes from the Maasai phrase Enkare Nyirobi, which translates to "the place of cool waters". However, it is popularly known as the "Green City in the Sun" and is surrounded by several expanding villa suburbs. Founded in 1899 as a simple rail depot on the railway linking Mombasa to Uganda, the town quickly grew to become the capital of British East Africa in 1907 and eventually the capital of a free Kenyan republic in 1963. During Kenya's colonial period, the city became a center for the colony's coffee, tea and sisal industry.
