About Nairobi
Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and the leading business and diplomatic centre of East Africa. It hosts the United Nations Environment Programme headquarters and the regional offices of many international organisations and companies, and it has a national park on its edge where wildlife can be seen against the city skyline.
Kenya uses East Africa Time, UTC+3 all year, with no daylight saving. Nairobi shares the same clock with Kampala, Dar es Salaam and Addis Ababa. Lying just south of the equator, the city has days of almost equal length throughout the year, so sunrise and sunset change very little between seasons. It is two hours ahead of London in winter.
