Good temperature: Nairobi had high altitude which led to cool temperatures. This favored early settlement by Europeans
Plenty of water: the presence of Nairobi River ensured abundant water supply. This was useful in establishment of early railway camp and workshops
Trading center: trading activities, first between the Maasai and Agikuyu and the Swahili-Arab caravan trade enhanced the growth of the town
Physical features: the site was a level ground or plain which favored the construction of buildings
Rich hinterland: the area around Nairobi had great commerce potential. It provided good conditions for settler farming such as dairy, tea, coffee farming and ranching
