NATIONAL PARK TOUR - 4
HOURS
|
Nairobi
national park was established in 1946 and
is the first National Park in Kenya. It is
located approximately 7 kilometres south of
the centre of Nairobi, Kenya's capital city,
with only a fence separating the park's wildlife
from the metropolis. Nairobi's skyscrapers
can be seen from the park. Indeed, the proximity
of urban and natural environments has caused
conflicts between the animals and local people
and threatens animals' migration routes. The
117 km2 Nairobi National Park is unique by
being the only protected area in the world
with a variety of animals and birds close
to a capital city. As expected, the park is
a principal attraction for visitors to Nairobi.
Still, despite its proximity to civilization
and relative small size for an African national
park, Nairobi National Park boasts a large
and varied wildlife population.Nairobi National
Park Kenya's first ever National Park is a
unique and unspoilt wildlife haven within
sight of the city's skyline. Rhino, buffalo,
cheetah, zebra, giraffe, lion and plenty of
antelopes and gazelles can be seen roaming
in this open plains country with a section
of highland forest as well as stretches of
broken bush country, deep, rocky valleys and
gorges with scrub and long grass.
