Truly unique, the Nairobi National Park is situated on the doorstep of the Kenyan capital’s CBD. In fact the city skyline can be seen from many parts in the park which can slightly detract from the natural beauty of the surrounds. Nonetheless the park is very productive in terms of game viewing and its grassy plains and savannah woodland support a number of the quintessential African antelope species, Giraffe, Buffalo, the rare Black Rhino and all the big cats. Over 400 species of birds can be found here making this an easily accessible twitcher’s destination. There is also a notable migration during August and July where thousands of Wildebeest and Zebra migrate to the park through a corridor in the south. The Nairobi National Park is the perfect destination for short safaris, day trips from Nairobi and for viewing Black Rhino.
