Nairobi Club Ground

The Nairobi Club Ground is a multi-use sports venue in Upper Hill, Nairobi, Kenya. It is the second oldest cricket ground in Kenya, having been predated by the Sir Ali Muslim Club Nairobi (named after the wealthy Arab benefactor, Sir Ali Bin Salim) which opened in 1934. The Nairobi Club lays claim to being the first cricket ground to feature a turf wicket when it opened in the early 1950s, which was installed by former club cricketer for Prestwich in the United Kingdom, and Nairobi Parks Department employee, Don Pringle who later represented East Africa in the 1975 Cricket World Cup. Cricket The ground hosted its only One-Day International (ODI) in 1996, when South Africa played Sri Lanka in the Sameer Cup. Sri Lanka won the match by 2 wickets, with Sanath Jayasuriya passing 2,500 runs in ODI cricket and 100 wickets in List A cricket during the match. Other international matches have been played at the venue, with Kenya playing Tanzania in 1951 and 1952, and New Zealand in 1999. It also hosted eight matches in the 1994 ICC Trophy, none of which involved Kenya, the highlight perhaps being the match between Bermuda and the UAE which saw Bermuda score 329/9 only for the UAE to chase the target down and score 330/9 to win by one wicket with just two balls to spare. Both innings are in the all-time top 20 ICC Trophy team totals, and the UAE's total is their highest in the ICC Trophy. The cricket team of the Kenya Kongonis operates from the Nairobi Club Other sports Many other sports are played at the ground, with the Kenya Davis Cup team playing their home matches here. There is also an all-weather hockey pitch and facilities for squash, bowls, and swimming. References External links Nairobi Club website
Gymkhana Club Ground

Nairobi Gymkhana Club is a cricket ground and team in Nairobi, Kenya. It hosted two matches during the 2003 Cricket World Cup. The ground has a capacity of 7,000 people. It is located north of the central business district, but not far from it. The ground is the main cricket venue in the country and the only one which could in any way be described as a major ground. Cricket The ground is home to a cricket team of the same name, which is one of the oldest cricket clubs in Kenya. Earlier the ground was called Suleman Verjee Indian Gymkhana having been donated by the Suleman Verjee family at a time when no recreational facilities of scale were available to Indians in Kenya. The land was allocated by the Governor of Kenya to the Indian Association in 1927. The ground is home to one of Kenya's oldest and most influential clubs, the Gymkhana has hosted colonial and other important matches since the early 1900s but it really began to develop as Kenya became a serious force in world cricket in the 1990s. It has become the main cricket ground in Kenya and hosts International games for the National team. It was at this ground, that Shahid Afridi scored the (then) fastest ODI century in 1997 from just 37 balls. Investment in the ground accelerated with ICC grants which enabled it to host the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy although since then it has suffered from a lack on investment resulting from Kenya's internal problems. The ground itself is a mixture of grass banking and wooden stands, with a modern pavilion on one side and a new media centre, constructed for the 2000 tournament, at one end. As with many such clubs in Kenya, the Gymkhana is home to a variety of other sports as well as providing comfortable accommodation. Situated almost 5,500 feet above sea level, it is one of the highest first-class grounds. The 2026 Asian Legends League (Season 2) is scheduled to be held at the Nairobi Gymkhana Club from 2 to 14 June 2026. The tournament is expected to feature six Asian teams competing in a total of 19 Twenty20 (T20) matches during the season. Facilities The Gymkhana club also has a small inside area with a badminton court and further in, an outdoor area with a swimming pool and a restaurant. Transportation Nairobi Gymkhana is situated a 20-minute taxi ride and is about 15 km from the airport. Parking near the ground is limited.

Nairobi railway station

Nairobi railway station is a railway station located in Nairobi, Kenya. The station is on the metre gauge Uganda Railway, and previously provided services to Mombasa three times per week. However, in 2017, the new Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway took over services to Mombasa, starting from a new Nairobi Terminus in Syokimau, 20km from Nairobi CBD. History The station was built in 1899 and saw structural additions throughout the 20th century. It is on the site of the first stone building in Nairobi in 1904, which was a Catholic church. That church now meets at the Cathedral Basilica of the Holy Family. When the railway connection between Kenya and Tanzania closed in 2006, rail services ceased to operate between the two countries. A bus route, however, provides international transport between Nairobi and Arusha, the journey taking approximately five hours. In 2012, the Kenyan government opened a new metro rail service from Nairobi station to the suburb of Syokimau. Syokimau will get a few trains every day, although there was criticism that a ticket would cost more than the average daily wage. Museum In 1971, the East African Railways and Harbours Corporation established the Nairobi Railway Museum to preserve and display the history of rail travel in East Africa. The museum is connected to the main line by rail, allowing steam excursions on restored locomotives. References External links Media related to Nairobi railway station at Wikimedia Commons

Ngangao Forest

Ngangao Forest is one of the few remaining indigenous cloud forest fragments of the Taita Hills, Kenya. It is located on a rock surrounded by the villages of Makandenyi, Maghimbinyi, Mgambonyi and Kitumbi. It lies 10 km from Wundanyi and can easily be reached by road. There is even frequent public transport from Wundanyi to Makandenyi (at least 10 vehicles daily). The very basic "Ngangao forest camp" is located next to the forester's house at the edge of forest. With its 120 hectares (297 acres), Ngangao is the second largest forest and one of the lesser disturbed forests of the Taita Hills. As a result, it is a stronghold for many plant and animal species. There are three endemic birds species of the Taita Hills. The Taita thrush (Turdus (olivaceus) helleri), Taita apalis (Apalis (thoracica) fuscigularis) and Taita white-eye (Zosterops (poliogaster) silvanus) occur in relative large numbers. Some plants, like the Zimmermannia ovata, are only found in the dryer parts of Ngangao Forest. Notes

Njoro

Njoro is an agricultural town 18 km west south west of Nakuru, Kenya situated on the western rim of the Rift Valley. Njoro town was the headquarters of the former Njoro District, hived off Nakuru District. It was declared as one of the constituencies of Nakuru County in 2010. It has a population of 238,773 people according to the 2019 census report that was published by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). Geography Njoro is 2423 meters above sea level. Njoro is a station on the meter gauge railway line between Nakuru and Kisumu. Brief history The town was first settled by the pastoralist tribes, Kalenjins and Maasai, before the arrival of British settlers to the Kenya highlands. Over the years the town grew to be an important center in agricultural research, education and development. The town is home to a campus of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and Egerton University is situated 5 km south from the town center. Njoro was temporarily a district on its own in Rift Valley province. The population is rising due to the fact that peace is prevailing, unlike the neighbouring towns like Molo, Mau Narok, and Likia. It is near the Mau Forest, which has become a global issue on the environment. Economy The main economic activities are agribased industries including vegetable and milk processing, large-scale wheat and barley farming, and green house flower farming. Light manufacturing industries such as timber milling, canning, and quarrying are also a mainstay of the local economy. The economic growth of the town has been slowed due to its proximity to the provincial capital, Nakuru. Tourism has a minor but important role in the local economy. The town is part of the south Rift tourist circuit as it is on the way to the famed Masai Mara National Park. Tourists can visit the Lord Egerton Castle, which is run and maintained as a visitor and conference center by Egerton University which Lord Egerton founded as Egerton Agricultural College in the mid-1930s they can also visit kembu cottages. The town also boasts of a top golf course from Njoro Country Club and a pharmaceutical facility. The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Food Crops Research Centre is located in Njoro town. The institution carries out research in wheat rust diseases, oil crops, agronomy and pest and disease management. People Njoro is populated by people from all ethnic groups in Kenya and was a peaceful area during the Mau Mau troubles of the 1950s. However, the Kikuyu are now the predominant people, and thus have greatly influenced the culture of the area. Residents of Njoro lived peacefully until the politically instigated tribal clashes of the 1990s. Several people were killed and many displaced due to the laxity of the Moi regime to maintain law and order. Issues arising from the displacement of local residents and their desired resettlement have continued to cause friction. It is the fastest growing town in Nakuru county with a lot of investment within it. The area is well equipped with agriculture having the effect from KARI and Egerton University.

Some of the known detainees at Nyayo House were George Anyona, Wahome Mutahi and Raila Odinga After the Moi era the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) investigated Nyayo House torture cases, and several victims — including politician Koigi wa Wamwere — were compensated. Another detainee, musician Ochieng Kabaselleh died soon after he was released, allegedly due to injuries caused by torture. A court case was filed in June 2024 by some of the survivors of the torture chambers for them be made into a museum and open to the public.

Nyayo House

Nyayo House är en 80 meter hög, orange skyskrapa i centrala Nairobi, Kenya, där imimgrations- och passmyndigheterna har sina kontor. Huset är känt för att under Daniel Arap Mois diktatur i Kenya ha hyst polisens tortyrkammare. På senare år har byggnaden rustats upp, och många rum från tiden som tortyrcentrum har renoverats. Bland annat har hissen som gick från förhörsrummet till en ljudisolerad plåtbunker i källaren tagits bort. Det har i sin tur lett till debatt om vikten av att bevara och minnas institutioner från Moi-eran. Källor
