Nairobi National Park

Welcome to Kenya’s most accessible yet incongruous safari experience. Set on the city’s southern outskirts, Nairobi National Park (at 117 sq km, one of Africa’s smallest) has abundant wildlife that can, in places, be viewed against a backdrop of city skyscrapers and planes coming in to land – it’s one of the only national parks on earth bordering a capital city. Remarkably, the animals seem utterly unperturbed by it all.

Nairobi national park boasts 100 species of mammals, including 39 lions and 90 rhinos, 40 different amphibians and reptiles. The park has only four of the big five namely (buffalos, lions, leopards, rhinos) minus elephants. Nairobi National Park has a spectacular wildebeest and zebra migration, the large predators in the park includes the lion, leopard, hyena and cheetah.
