Nairobi National Park Reserve

About The Park

Nairobi National Park was the first park to be gazetted in Kenya and is located about 7km south of Nairobi and it is the only wildlife park in the world that is so close to the city. The park covers an area of 117km2. It consists partly of thick woods near the city outskirts, partly of rolling plains and valleys and partly of wooded confluence of several rivers.

Best Time To Visit

Wildlife viewing is at its finest in the dry season, when animals can easily be seen around water sources. The best months are from June to September, although it is possible to visit Nairobi National Park any time. Wildlife watching is usually more difficult during the long rains (March to May) and the short rains (November to December). During these months, rainfall might restrict game drives and the grass tends to be very tall.

Wildlife

There are animals that include buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, baboon, zebra, wildebeest, cheetah and 100 mammal species. There are 400 migratory and endemic bird species.
