When people think about Africa, some of the first things that come to mind are the unique and exotic beasts that live in the wild and enticing continent. People travel from all over the world for a chance to visit Africa, it’s people and cultures, and the animals that thrive there. There are many different countries and places in Africa to visit, and each as it’s own allure and activities to partake in. But when people think about taking an Africa safari, the country of Kenia and the Nairobi National Park.
Established in 1946, the Nairobi National Park was the first park in Kenya and it continues to be one of the most popular destinations for tourists and locals alike. Nairobi National Park is one of the smallest national parks in Africa but the varied amount of wildlife that can be seen in the park makes up for the lack of size. The park has a varied landscape and flora population, with grasslands, forests, deep brush and rocky valleys. Despite the beautiful landscape, it is often the last thing that people notice when visiting Nairobi National Park, choosing inside the focus on the wide variety of animals that call the park home.
In Nairobi National Park, visitors can see graceful giraffes towering above the grasslands, or beautiful zebras galloping among the brush. Lions are found lounging in the shade and just yards away a herd of gazelle are drinking from a watering hole. While looking for lumbering African buffalo, zebras might see a cheetah streaking past in the distance, or maybe even hear baboon chattering from the trees. All these species and more can be found on any given day in Nairobi National Park, giving visitors a chance to see animals in an environment they never would have thought possible. Nairobi National Park is also well known for its rhinoceros sanctuary and is in fact Kenia’s most successful rhinoceros sanctuary.
When planning a trip that will be remembered for years to come, think first about visiting Nairobi National Park and taking a once in a life-time safari trip.
