Nairobi National Safari Park
At 3 hours drive from Glamping Kenya Safari Lodge
There is only one natural park in the whole world that is immediately adjacent to the capital. This is the case in Kenya's capital Nairobi. If you want to spot animals with the skyline of the city in the background, then a safari in Nairobi National Park is your chance.
A safari in Nairobi National Park is one of the smallest national parks in Africa with its 117 square km. However, a safari in Nairobi National Park is very worthwhile, because there are many wild animals.
• The electric fence in Nairobi National park is designed to prevent the wild animals from wandering into Nairobi city.
• On a safari in Nairobi National Park there are many wild animals to admire, such as cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, lions and giraffes. Very special about a safari in Nairobi National Park is the relatively large amount of black rhinos that live there (the densest concentration in all of Africa). There are around 50 black rhinoceroses living in this area.
• A safari in Nairobi National Park is also an excellent option for bird watchers. Hundreds of bird species can be found in Nairobi National Park. You can't just get acquainted with the animals in the national park. To enter the park you need a passport and you must be in possession of a so-called safari card. These are compulsory and can be purchased for approximately one thousand Kenyan Shillings (KES). This is converted to more than ten euros, depending on the exchange rate.
• The Nairobi National Park was established in 1946 as the first officially recognized national park in all of Kenya. Especially because the national park is so close to the city, it is relatively small in size compared to other national parks in Africa. However, this has no effect at all on its unique experience. There is a varied wildlife and in the dry season many migrating herbivores, such as the rhinoceros, can be found in the park. Over the years, not much has changed in the park, except that the game population has grown considerably. A Safari in Nairobi National Park is therefore excellent to admire all these animals in their natural habitat.
