    Nairobi National Park

    Starts by pickup from the hotel then proceed to nairobi national park, Arriving in this special park, you’ll quickly notice how unique this special park is. With a backdrop of the city’s skyline you can spot lions, rhinos, buffaloes, hyenas, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, impalas and much more. Even though downtown Nairobi is a few miles away, this is no city zoo or theme park. Despite this being the oldest (1946) and one of its smallest parks in Kenya, sightings of lions and hyenas are regular. It boasts of over 400 species of birds including the majestic Ostrich. Kifaru is Swahili for rhinoceros – the park supports the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya. Appropriately, the park has earned the nickname Kifaru Ark. As the population of rhinos here continues to grow, the park has become a source of the endangered species, supplying them to other parks around the country.
