Driving through Kileleshwa, Kilimani to Ngong Road

The Nairobi area of Kileleshwa is home to many people. It is situated around 5.2 kilometers (3 miles) away from the heart of Nairobi's commercial sector. The neighborhood was formerly a low-density, leafy suburb, but since zoning restrictions changed in the early 2000s, there has been a dramatic explosion of high-rise apartments in the neighbourhood. It caters mostly to Nairobians in the upper middle class.
Within the Westlands Sub-county, Kilimani is situated around 5 km (3 mi) west of the central business center of Nairobi. The Kilimani sub-location covers the Kilimani estates as well as a portion of Upper Hill that includes the Hurlingham and Caledonia estates. It is located north of Woodley and east of Kileleshwa, with the Kirichwa River serving as a major divider. Like many other early communities, this one was created by British colonialists in the early 20th century as a residential enclave exclusive for white people. Until the 1960s, racial integration was not possible. #foryou
