What is Nairobi National Park?

Nairobi National Park is one of the world's most unique wildlife reserves and the only national park located immediately adjacent to a major capital city. Established in 1946, the park covers approximately 117 square kilometers and protects a surprisingly diverse range of wildlife despite its proximity to urban development. Visitors can observe lions, rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hyenas, and hundreds of bird species against the backdrop of Nairobi's skyline. The park serves as an important conservation area and is often the first safari experience for travelers arriving in Kenya.
