São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
Nairobi, the capital and largest city of Kenya, is located in the eastern plateau of Africa, at an altitude of about 1,800 meters above sea level, and enjoys the reputation of "the green city under the sun". As the economic and transportation hub of East Africa, it has a modern business district and an international airport, and is the residence of the United Nations Environment Programme and other agencies.
Nairobi enjoys a mild climate with an average annual temperature of 18°C. The city is surrounded by the famous Nairobi National Park, where you can see wildlife up close. The city is culturally diverse, blending traditional and modern elements, with markets, museums and cuisine showcasing the rich Swahili culture.
The city is known for its service, tourism and technology industries and is one of the fastest growing cities in Africa. Visitors can explore attractions such as the Karen Blixen Museum and the Giraffe Center for a unique African urban experience.
