Kenya's National Parks
Visit Kenya’s Urban-Edge National Park
This unique natural reserve, effectively a national park, shows a startling blend of two worlds, with one motto: survival and life.
Nairobi National Park is home to one of Kenya’s most important rhino conservation landscapes and was Kenya’s first gazetted national park in 1946. Previously known as Royal Naorobi National Park, this destination shelters a wide array of wildlife, including cheetahs, gazelles, hyenas, impala, zebra, ostrich, and more, all coexisting in their natural environment.
