Nairobi national Park














Nairobi National Park is a national park in Kenya. It became Kenya's first national park when it was established in 1946.[2] It is located approximately 7 kilometres (4 mi) south of the centre of Nairobi, Kenya's capital city,[3] and is small in relation to most of Africa's national parks.[4] Nairobi's skyscrapers can be seen from the park. The park has a large and varied wildlife population.[5] Only a fence separates the park's animals from the city.[6] Migrating herbivores concentrate in the park during the dry season. It is one of Kenya's most successful rhinoceros sanctuaries.[3] The park's proximity to Nairobi causes conflicts between the park's animals and local people and threatens animals' migration routes
