Nairobi National Park offers a rare safari experience set against a modern city skyline. Located just 7 kilometers from Nairobi’s central business district, the park covers about 117 square kilometers of open plains, acacia bush, and riverine forest.

The park supports diverse wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. Nairobi National Park plays a critical role in black rhino conservation, hosting one of Kenya’s most successful protected populations. Birdlife exceeds 400 recorded species, especially around wetlands and seasonal rivers.

The park’s defining feature lies in contrast. Wildlife roams freely with skyscrapers visible in the background, creating iconic photography scenes found nowhere else in the world. This proximity allows short game drives and easy access for day visitors.

Key attractions include the Ivory Burning Site Monument, which symbolizes Kenya’s commitment to ending ivory trade, and several picnic viewpoints overlooking open plains.

Nairobi National Park delivers a fast, accessible safari marked by strong conservation impact and unmatched urban-wildlife contrast.
