Nairobi National Park Day Tour Overview
Description
The Nairobi National Park Day tour is a half-day trip to see lions, rhinos, and buffaloes in the Nairobi National Park and to view the other wildlife in the only park within a capital city’s boundaries.
Nairobi National Park was established in 1942 as a place of recreation by the colonial settlers right next to the growing city outpost.
Nairobi National Park’s main attractions include rhinos, lions and leopards, and buffalo. There are however no elephants in the Nairobi National Park due to its limited size compared to elephants’ need for a wide range of land.
The Nairobi National Park consists of three main ecosystems namely the dry forest found on the western side near the main gate, the savannah grasslands to the southwest, and the boundary riverine ecosystem marketing the southwestern border.
The park is only 177 sq km which is small by Kenyan standards. It is located just 7km and 15 minutes from the central business district of Nairobi.
