Nairobi National Park

elephants

Nairobi National Park, Nairobi Animal Orphanage and Nairobi Safari Walk are located in Nairobi province and is 7km from Nairobi city center and is 117 square km. There are over 80 recorded species in Nairobi National Park including Rhonos, Buffalos, Lions, Leopards, Crocodile, Hippos and others but there are no Elephants. There are also more than 400 species of birds. However all species are not always present and some are seasonal. Northern migrants pass through the park primarily during late March through April. As expected, the park is a principal attraction for visitors to Nairobi.

There is currently no accomodaton in the reserve, but Nairobi City offers various accomodation options.
