Nairobi National Park
The world's only wild safari park inside a capital city, with lions, rhinos and giraffes against the skyline.
About
Just 7 km from the CBD, Nairobi National Park shelters lions, leopards, black rhinos, buffalo, giraffes and over 400 bird species. Early-morning game drives deliver the classic view of grazing zebra with high-rises behind them. Entrance is paid per person plus vehicle.
History
Established in 1946 as Kenya's first national park, it remains an important sanctuary for the critically endangered black rhino.
Local tip
Book a licensed guide or driver with a pop-up roof. Bring binoculars and water. Wet-season roads can be muddy.
