Kenya is an East African country famous for its wildlife safari. A visit to Nairobi is an opportunity to experience the Kenyan culture. The official languages are English and Kiswahili. The capital city is Nairobi, where the Kenya Innovation Week 2022 will be held. Nairobi is the principal industry centre of Kenya, with its entrepreneurial business environment and safari sites. In addition, it is an established hub for business and culture; this is evident in its parks, monuments and other attractions that speak to the city’s history, tropical location and Kenya’s many cultures.
Nairobi is also known for its year-long mild climate, making it an ideal spot for tourism.
