Introduction

Nairobi National Park is a rare wildlife reserve right next to a metropolis—where you can watch savanna animals while gazing at the city skyline, a unique and striking urban wilderness and one of Nairobi's stunning sights. Nairobi National Park sits on the edge of Kenya's capital, among the world's very rare wildlife parks adjacent to a capital, separated from the bustling city by only a fence. Though next to the city, it is open, pristine savanna and wilderness hosting rich wildlife: lions, rhinos (a key black-rhino sanctuary), giraffes, zebras, antelopes, buffalo, cheetahs, hippos and many birds (but no elephants). On a game drive you may meet these majestic creatures up close—a rare, striking encounter. Its most iconic image is the wild-meets-modern frame: animals like giraffes or rhinos with Nairobi's skyline behind them. Please follow your guide, keep distance, don't disturb, and be a responsible eco-traveler. Exploring Nairobi and its urban-wilderness park is a stunning sight.
