Discover Nairobi National Park with Obo Safaris
Explore Kenya's Wild Gem on the Outskirts of Nairobi
Nairobi National Park offers a unique wildlife experience that combines the beauty of Kenya’s wilderness with the vibrant backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline. As Kenya’s first national park, established in 1946, it represents the harmony of urban and wild spaces, allowing visitors a thrilling safari adventure just minutes from Nairobi’s bustling city center.
Why Nairobi National Park is Unmissable
Spanning 117 square kilometers, Nairobi National Park may be smaller than other reserves, but its proximity to the city and rich biodiversity make it one of Africa’s most unique safari experiences. This park is renowned for its iconic scenery: lions, rhinos, and giraffes roaming freely with the Nairobi skyline in the background. It’s the only national park in the world set right on the edge of a capital city, providing a safari adventure with an unmatched urban contrast.
Wildlife Encounters to Remember
Home to more than 100 mammal species, including the Big Four (lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos), Nairobi National Park promises breathtaking encounters with Kenya’s incredible wildlife. Conservation efforts within the park have led to a thriving population of black rhinos, making it a key destination for those eager to see these magnificent creatures up close. Visitors can also expect to spot graceful giraffes, herds of zebras, and the unique sight of ostriches wandering across the plains.
Bird Watching Haven
For bird enthusiasts, Nairobi National Park offers a treat with over 400 recorded bird species, including ostriches, secretary birds, and the endangered African crowned eagle. Whether you're a seasoned birder or a novice, the diversity of birdlife will leave you in awe.
Key Attractions Within the Park
Nairobi National Park is not just about wildlife. The park hosts historical and cultural landmarks, such as the Ivory Burning Site Monument, commemorating Kenya’s stand against poaching. The park also features several scenic picnic sites, perfect for a relaxed break amid nature.
For a deeper understanding of wildlife conservation, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, located just outside the park, offers an opportunity to interact with orphaned elephants and learn about the vital work being done to protect these gentle giants.
