The park's open grasslands, riverine forests, and acacia woodlands provide a suitable habitat for these animals.

  4. Nairobi Safari Walk: The park features the Nairobi Safari Walk, an educational facility that allows visitors to explore various ecosystems and encounter wildlife on foot. The raised boardwalk offers a close-up view of animals, and information boards provide details about the park's biodiversity and conservation efforts.

  6. Scenic Views and Landscapes: Nairobi National Park offers stunning landscapes and panoramic views, with the backdrop of Nairobi's skyline visible from certain areas within the park. The Athi-Kapiti Plains, Ngong Hills, and the Kitengela Conservation Area enhance the natural beauty of the park.

There are picnic sites and designated areas for bird watching. Walking trails and cycling routes are also available for those seeking more active experiences.

Nairobi National Park plays a crucial role in wildlife conservation, acting as a vital refuge for wildlife in a rapidly developing urban environment.
