Nairobi national park is the oldest of Kenya’s
National park and
Game
Reserves. It was gazette in December 1946. This game sanctuary is a
glorious stretch of savannah that is set against the dramatic skyline of
Nairobi, the capital city. Its main entrances are merely a stone’s
throw from the outskirts of the city, thus making Nairobi the only city
in the world that borders a natural game protection area. Well over one
hundred species of mammals mainly plain games have been recorded in this
park. The big five are represented except the elephant. A unique
feature of Nairobi National Park is that visitors do not have to travel
far to view game in their natural habitat.
Another unique feature of
Nairobi National Park that should not be missed is the
Ani
mal Orphanage
and Nairobi Safari walk at the main goats. The orphanage is home to the
injured and orphaned young animals. Here they are nursed back to health
before being released back to the wild. The park is also ideal for
ornithological safaris as four hundred species as four hundred species
of birdlife have been recorded.
