Nairobi National Park





One of the most famous National Parks is Nairobi National Park. It is unique because it is the only protected area in the world with a variety of animals close to a capital city. We couldn't miss this crucial stop on our field trip.

Nairobi National Park is 117 km squared and has a diversity of environments with open grass plains and dry forests. There is also a permanent river that has been dammed up to provide a favorable habitat to many animals and plant life.

The 117 km2 Nairobi National Park is unique by being the only protected area in the world with a variety of animals and birds close to a capital city. As expected, the park is a principal attraction for visitors to Nairobi.

This park is famous for its 400 different species of birds and its black rhino sanctuaries.
