Just beyond the urban sprawl of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi National Park offers an extraordinary contrast where the wild prowls beneath the silhouette of city skyscrapers. On a morning game drive, the park’s open plains stretch wide, grasses swaying as elephants and zebras wander peacefully. Lions lounge lazily near rocky outcrops, and rhinos navigate the sparse brush, unbothered by the distant hum of traffic. This unique ecosystem is the only place in the world where you can glance up from a safari jeep and see both big game and high-rise buildings sharing a horizon.
