Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park is absolutely amazing! It is only about a 15 minute drive from the city center. You can see the city skyline in the background while you're in the park.

We saw some animals in this park that we didn't see in Amboseli.

Perhaps the most amazing things we saw was a couple of lionesses stalking a small herd of Cokes Hartebeest. In this photo you can see the lioness crawling along in the grass. We stopped the vehicle, Amy and I stood on top and we watched for about 20 minutes. I was sure that we were going to see something amazing, but fortunately for the Hartebeest, the lionesses didn't get them.



We talked to another driver in the park who said that one of the lionesses had three small cubs near the river. What a proud looking animal.
