Nairobi National Park is the closest safari spot to the city.

Hello! I am a university student studying abroad in Kenya.
This time, I would like to introduce you to my all-time favorite, Nairobi National Park.

What is Nairobi National Park?

As the name suggests, Nairobi National Park is located in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.
The charm of this place is its accessibility.
Just a 20-minute drive from downtown Nairobi reveals the savannah.
Another feature is the unique sight of a big city in the background of wild animals.
You can see a mysterious scenery where nature and man-made objects merge.

A wide variety of wildlife living in the city

The first thing I found when I entered the park was a buffalo.
He was looking at me from the water's edge with a smug face.
Although it has a cute face, it is very ferocious and is one of the animals that the people of Kenya fear the most.

The next thing I saw was a flock of gazelles.
I was dashing through the skyscrapers of the big city of Nairobi in the background.
Personally, the gazelle running against the backdrop of a skyscraper makes me think that I am in Kenya right now.

After that, two giraffes appeared in front of me.
I was standing on both sides of the car, and I couldn't help but get excited by its overwhelming size.
In addition, I was able to see rhinos, zebras, and hippos with parents and children up close.
It was an emotional moment when I was able to see animals that I had only seen at the zoo really live in the wild right in front of me.

Lion, King of the Beasts

The driver got information that another car had spotted the lion by radio and started the car abruptly toward the destination.
Nairobi National Park is relatively small, so it doesn't take long to move between points in the park.
Therefore, by obtaining this information and rushing to the spot, the chance of encountering carnivores that are difficult to encounter in other national parks increases.

We arrived at the discovery site and were able to safely see the female lion resting in the shade of a tree.
I got close to a distance of about 3 meters by car, but there was no sign of noticing, and I was able to fully enjoy the cute sleeping scene.
Once we saw the lions, the tour ended for the day.
However, on the way back to the gate, I encountered three female lions going hunting!
Its dignified appearance was the very essence of an animal that lives powerfully in the wild.

A safari spot that everyone can enjoy quickly

This is how the tour really ended.
It was very satisfying to see a lot of wild animals with a wide variety, such as animals that symbolize strength such as lions and rhinos, and giraffes and zebras that live leisurely.
There is also an orphanage and a nature trail near the gate, so if you are not satisfied, it is recommended to go there.

This national park offers a full safari for half a day, making it easy for busy people visiting Kenya on business to enjoy the African wilderness.
Just a short drive from downtown Nairobi is a luxury experience where you can feel the breath of wildlife in the savannah.
If you come to Kenya, I hope you can feel the wildness of Africa even in between your busy days.

And if you've been on safari in another national park but still have regrets, Nairobi National Park is the place to be.
You can go around quickly, and the chances of meeting carnivores are high.

In Nairobi National Park, adjacent to the capital city of Nairobi, be sure to see the resilient wildlife up close!
