Nairobi National Park
Rhino, lion and giraffe grazing against a city skyline. The only national park of its kind, and twenty minutes from the CBD.
It is easy to be sniffy about a park you can reach in a taxi. Then you watch a rhino graze with tower blocks behind it and understand why it matters.
For residents it is the standing Saturday option. For long-haul travellers with a layover, it is a real safari in half a day.
