LOCATION

Nairobi National Park is a unique wildlife haven. It lies in the shadow of Nairobi’s cityscape, about 6.4 kilometers from the bustling city center. As you descend into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you can see the park’s grasslands and wild animals.

Encompassing 117.2 square kilometers, this park has the unique distinction of being Kenya’s first national reserve and the closest national park to a major metropolitan city in the world. Despite its relatively compact size, it hosts an impressive ecosystem. The landscape features open grassy plains, acacia trees, rocky valleys, and riparian environments along the Athi River.

WILDLIFE EXPERIENCE

Predator sightings are a common delight here, as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas prowl the park—a microcosm of the African savanna. The ungulate community thrives with impalas, wildebeests, hartebeests, and gazelles in abundance, providing a reliable food source for the resident carnivores. Though elephants are notably absent, Nairobi National Park compensates with the presence of the endangered black rhinoceros, which finds sanctuary within the park’s borders.

BIRDING

For birding enthusiasts, the park is nothing short of an ornithological haven, hosting a rich variety of bird species, including imposing ostriches that stride across the plains, and scavenging vultures that circle overhead. The diversity extends to other eye-catching species such as Crowned Cranes, Kori Bustards, Ground Hornbills, Egyptian Geese, and Black-necked Herons, alongside melodious songbirds that add an acoustic dimension to the Nairobi National Park experience.
