The Africa you won't see on TV - Post #2; Nairobi City
Hello Steemians!
It's been long since I did an actual post here, but here goes.
Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya. It is the ONLY city in the world with a National Park. BTW this is something you don't want to miss should you ever make your way into #Kenya.
Nairobi is not your typical city. Yes there's crazy traffic, people are always in a rush, most government offices are found there... However, things like the matatu culture, elephant orphanages, waterfalls just a stone throw away make it different.
For this post though, let's focus on the architecture. Nairobi is an old city but has not been spared from the modernity craze. Here are some shots for you to see what I mean:

One post cannot exhaust Nairobi's diversity. I hope from these posts people will start seeing Africa in a different light, and that you'll purpose to visit - some day, maybe?
You take beautiful photos. When there is so much negativity in the media a post like this comes up and I smile at the beauty that is our city.
Thank you so much @mutitum. Our city is beautiful, and should be hyped as such.
Wow it Looks pretty modern
It is, yes! So much to the city than what is normally publicized. Thanks for stopping by @florian-glechner :)
The Matatu culture is unique, none like it anywhere in the world where matatu's are way lit up at night than a Christmas tree and the music...well let's just say clubbin on wheels
Haha I know! Do you ever have enough of the loud music?
In fact, we were just talking about this today with @mutitum and @cmbugua We need to be ambassadors of our beautiful country and continent.
Your photos are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.
Ambassadors we will be... this is going to be sooo huge 😊
Thank you so much, glad you like the photos... our country is the perfect prop!
I have never been to kenya before. . . its been on my top 3 African countries to visit.
Nice one.
P.S those photos, were they taken by you? or were they gotten from online,I see youre a traveller, so I am pretty sure they are from your camera
You're welcome to visit @destinysaid. You will have the time of your life in #Kenya.

Beautiful place, beautiful civilization. Africa is so much more than grass huts, it's thriving cities and amazing people. Thank you for sharing. @ironshield
