Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya, and the economic and financial hub of East Africa. With nearly 5 million people, it is the 4th largest city in Africa. Nairobi operates on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3), a simple fixed offset maintained year-round. Nairobi is unique among global capitals for having a large national park — Nairobi National Park — literally within city limits, where lions, rhinos, and giraffes roam against a backdrop of skyscrapers. The city is home to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UN-Habitat headquarters — making it the only city in the developing world to host UN agency headquarters. Nairobi is also Africa's foremost technology startup hub, known as 'Silicon Savannah,' where M-Pesa (mobile money) was pioneered and is now used by millions across Africa. The city's name derives from the Maasai phrase meaning 'cool water.'
