Nairobi Kenya National Park is the only wildlife park in the world that is this near to a city. It was the first park to be gazette in Kenya on December 16th, 1946, and it is situated around 7km (4.3mi) south of Nairobi.
The park is 45 square miles in size and encompasses an area of 117 km2, or around 5000–6000 feet (1500–1800 meters) above sea level. Nairobi National Park’s varied topography includes dense forests close to the city limits, undulating plains and valleys, and a woodland confluence of numerous rivers. The park’s flora is of the dry transitional savanna kind during your Nairobi safaris.
The most significant trees that provide habitat for the species in the park include acacias and other thorny kinds, muhuhu, Cape chestnut, and Kenya olive. Four of the Big Five (the lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhino) live in Nairobi National Park, which is also home to over 100 mammal species. Other animals you will see during Nairobi safaris in the park include the zebra, black rhinoceroses, giraffe, various species of antelope, as well as a variety of reptiles that will thrill visitors on Kenya wildlife tours.
Moreover, the wildebeest and zebra migration in the park is breathtaking. More than 500 bird species have been identified in Nairobi National Park, at least 20 of which are transient migrants from Europe. Among these species are the Secretary bird, Lesser kestrel, Martial eagle, Pallid harrier, Sooty falcon, White-bellied bustard, Grey crowned crane, Corncrake, and many others.
The Nairobi Animal Orphanage, established in 1963 and situated inside Nairobi National Park, provides care and rehabilitation for wild animals such as lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, and servals, among others. A variety of bird species, such as parrots, guinea fowls, crowned cranes, ostriches, and many others, can also be seen there.
Through the A104 road, it takes around 28 minutes to travel the 15.6 kilometers between Nairobi and Nairobi National Park. Nairobi National Park is awe-inspiring with additional attractions like the Ivory Burning Site Monument, Walking Trails at Hippo Pools, Nairobi Safari Walk and the Orphanage, and Spacious Adorable Picnic, which makes Nairobi Safaris and Kenya Tours to experience a number of tourists to visit Nairobi National Park due to various Nairobi National Park Activities in the park.
