Facts about the World's only Urban National Park

In Kenya's capital city, you don't have to travel far to view wild animals in their natural habitat. The Nairobi National Park, which is acclaimed for being the only Wildlife Park located within the precincts of a capital city, is a must-visit location for local and foreign visitors. Despite being near a major city and housing settlements, tourists will be impressed with the wildlife that roams the grasslands against the backdrop of Nairobi's urban landscape. On a good day, it is possible to spot the famous Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo, and cheetah). Other frequently viewed animals include zebras, giraffes, gazelles, ostriches, Impalas, and a varied bird species.
