At the edge of Kenya’s bustling capital, Nairobi National Park stretches wide—a rare urban wilderness framed by the city’s jagged skyline. Here, the grasslands dare you to catch a glimpse of lions lounging in plain sight and rhinos ambling beneath acacia trees. This park, established in 1946, is no zoo. It’s a refuge where zebras nibble near hyenas, and over 400 bird species, including the towering ostrich, patrol the skies. The black rhino population thrives here, earning Nairobi National Park the nickname 'Kifaru Ark,' a vital sanctuary supplying endangered rhinos to the country’s other reserves.
