The World’s Only Wildlife Capital

Nairobi National Park

Minutes from the heart of the city, Nairobi National Park is the only national park in the world bordering a capital city, with lions on the savannah and skyscrapers behind.

What makes it special

  • The only wildlife park next to a capital city in the world
  • Home to lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes and more
  • One of Kenya’s most successful black rhino sanctuaries
  • Ideal for half-day or full-day safaris
  • Easy access, just a short drive from Nairobi CBD and JKIA

Good to know
