Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park is the only national park in the world situated within a capital city's limits. Just 7 kilometres from Nairobi's city centre, the park offers the surreal experience of watching lions, rhinos, and giraffes with the city skyline shimmering in the background. It is the birthplace of Kenya Wildlife Service and holds deep conservation significance. Covering 117 square kilometres, this open savannah ecosystem on Nairobi's southern edge is unfenced on the south, allowing seasonal wildlife migration to and from the Kitengela plains. The park is one of East Africa's most successful black rhino sanctuaries and hosts over 400 bird species. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanage, adjacent to the park, is a beloved visitor attraction.
