Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park is unique as the only protected area in the world with such a huge variety of animals
and birds close to a capital city. It is a principal attraction for visitors to Nairobi and also serves many local residents. Nairobi National Park is a 117 km2 area including a diverse range of habitats with a wealth of flora and fauna. There are vast tracts of open grass plains with scattered acacia bushes. There is a highland dry forest on the western side of the park and to the south there is riverine forest and a permanent river. Nairobi National Park has over 400 species of bird (some of which are seasonal). Northern migrants pass
through the park primarily during late March through to April.
