Home To the Kifaru Ark
Kifaru is Kiswahili for rhinoceros and the park supports the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya. Appropriately, the park has earned the nickname Kifaru Ark. As the population of rhinos here continues to grow, the park has become a source of the endangered species, supplying them to other parks around the country.
Nairobi National Park Boasts Many Walking Trails
Unlike many other national parks, the setting here features many walking trails from which to choose. There is a guided walking trail to the hippo pool to view these immense creatures and possibly crocodile as well.
As we follow these trails and wildlife tracks on our safari, we’ll be looking to spot white and black rhino, leopard, lion, cheetah, buffalo and more.
THE IVORY BURNING MONUMENT
Another special site we’ll visit is the Ivory Burning Monument. Here at this historic spot tons of ivory seized from poachers have been publicly burned to protest the ivory trade and as a commitment to protect the country’s elephants.
