Nairobi City

Lets explore Nairobi The Capital Of Kenya

Few cities in the world can claim to host skyscrapers and roaming lions in the same skyline.

Nairobi is the exception.

Just a short drive from the central business district, Nairobi National Park offers a rare blend of wilderness and urban backdrop, making it a global landmark in conservation.

According to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the park is “natively famous and recognised as the only national park in the world next to a capital,” promising seclusion and tranquility away from the city’s frenzy.

It is a popular getaway for families, couples, friends and groups seeking both relaxation and game viewing.

The park is home to diverse wildlife including giraffes, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, lions, hippos, crocodiles and white rhinos.

KWS notes that it stands out as one of the country's most successful rhino sanctuaries, with birdlife equally flourishing.

Beyond wildlife, the park has played a central role in the country’s conservation history.

The ivory burning site, established within its grounds, is a landmark of global importance.

In 1989, then-President Daniel arap Moi set ablaze 11 tonnes of rhino horn and ivory there, sending a strong message against poaching.
