Nairobi national park adventure

Nairobi National Park, located just 7 kilometers south of Nairobi’s city center, is a unique wildlife reserve known for its remarkable juxtaposition of wildlife and urbanity. Established in 1946, it was Kenya’s first national park and remains the only protected area in the world that borders a capital city. This proximity makes it a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and conservationists alike.

Overview: Nairobi National Park covers an area of approximately 117 square kilometers, encompassing a diverse range of habitats such as open grass plains, acacia bushland, riverine forests, and rocky valleys. Despite its relatively small size compared to other Kenyan parks, it hosts a surprising array of wildlife, including the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino) along with other iconic African species like giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and diverse birdlife.

Description: The park’s landscape is dominated by expansive savannahs punctuated by isolated acacia trees, which provide shade and sustenance for the park’s herbivores. Several seasonal rivers traverse the park, attracting wildlife during the dry season when water sources outside the park become scarce. The backdrop of Nairobi’s skyscrapers against the wild plains creates a striking contrast, offering visitors a unique opportunity to photograph wildlife with a cityscape backdrop.

Attractions and Activities:

Game Drives: Visitors can embark on game drives throughout the park, either in their own vehicles or through guided tours provided by the Kenya Wildlife Service. Early morning and late afternoon drives are particularly popular for observing wildlife when they are most active.
Ivory Burning Site Monument: Located within the park, this monument commemorates Kenya’s efforts to combat ivory poaching and trade, symbolizing the country’s commitment to wildlife conservation.
Walking Trails and Picnic Sites: Several walking trails and picnic sites are available for those seeking a closer encounter with nature or a peaceful spot to enjoy the surroundings.
Animal Orphanage: Adjacent to the park is the Nairobi Animal Orphanage, which provides shelter and rehabilitation for orphaned or injured animals, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.
