Nairobi National Park is conveniently located in the capital of Nairobi and is one of the best National Parks in Kenya<\/a>. The national park is connected to the southern part of the city and really brings the feeling of Kenya into the city. Where else can you get panoramic views of exotic wildlife from your office building? Nairobi has been developed up to the edge of the Nairobi National Park and the protected edge of the park is lined by many tall buildings. This means there will be plenty of chances to capture the perfect panorama while in Nairobi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The national park is covered with scattered acacia trees and a wide variety of well-known wildlife. Nairobi National Park is home to African animals like cheetahs, giraffes, elands, buffaloes, hyenas, as well as countless other animals and birds. Another great thing to mention is that the park is a breeding ground for the endangered Black Rhino. If you’re lucky you might even catch a glimpse of a newborn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors will enjoy the park\u2019s picnic sites, three campsites and the walking trails designed for hikers in Nairobi National Park.
