Nairobi National Park

 The World’s only Wildlife Capital City

A short drive of 10 kms (6 miles) from the heart of the Nairobi capital city-approximately, lasting for about 35 minutes is the Nairobi National Park. Nairobi is the only city in the world with a national park on its doorstep, packed with unique attractions, from bustling marketplace to fascinating historical sites such as the Karen Blixen Museum.

The city was named after a Maasai watering hole, “enkare nyarobi”, which means ‘place of cool waters’, the city is also known for its leafy streets and parks.

Wide open grass plains and backdrop of the city scrapers, scattered acacia bush play host to a wide variety of wildlife including the endangered black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes, and diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded. Visitors can enjoy the park’s picnic sites, three campsites and the walking trails for hikers.

Why specially visit Nairobi National Park. A gateway in proximity from the busy city life leads you to the wilderness and each game drive is unique every time and none is like the other.
