Tucked just minutes from the bustling city center of Kenya’s capital lies an extraordinary natural gem — Nairobi National Park . It’s one of the few places in the world where you can spot lions and rhinos roaming against the backdrop of skyscrapers. This unique blend of urban life and wild nature makes Nairobi National Park a must-visit destination for both first-time visitors and seasoned safari enthusiasts.
Why Visit Nairobi National Park?
Nairobi National Park offers a compact yet rich wildlife experience. Established in 1946, it is Kenya’s first national park and remains one of its most accessible. Despite its relatively small size (117 square kilometers), the park is home to a wide variety of wildlife including:
The Big Five:
lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and black rhino
Cheetahs and hyenas
Over 500 species of birds
Endangered species like the black rhino and giraffe
The park also plays a crucial role in conservation, especially for rhinos, with one of the largest black rhino sanctuaries in East Africa.

Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Nairobi National Park is during the dry season , from June to October and January to February . During these months, animals gather around water sources, making them easier to spot. Game viewing is at its peak, and the weather is perfect for photography and outdoor exploration.
If you’re visiting during the wet season (March to May) , don’t be discouraged — the park is lush and green, and birdlife is especially vibrant.
