Kasarani is a commercial and residential neighbourhood in northeast Nairobi.[1] Kasarani is also used in reference to the city's second most populated sub-county with the same name, which spans through neighbourhoods in the northeastern areas of Nairobi. Located within the larger Kasarani area, the Kasarani enclave is approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) northeast of Nairobi's central business district off Thika Road.

Location

The Kasarani neighbourhood is located along the Thika Road, approximately 12 kilometres (7.5 mi), by road, northeast of Nairobi's central business district.[2]

However, the greater Kasarani area has other suburbs domiciled within it. The area shares common boundaries with what was Kasarani Division prior to 2013. Areas that are electorally placed in Roysambu, Ruaraka, part of Kasarani, and part of Emabakasi North constituencies are within the Kasarani Sub-county of Nairobi.

Naming

It is thought that the name Kasarani originated from a river that flows through the area which has the Kikuyu name "Gathara-ini" River.
