An Afternoon at Nairobi National Park - Plentiful Giraffe



As I mentioned last month, I was pleasantly surprised to be invited for an afternoon at Nairobi National Park. What a fun 5 hours!

It was the first time for all four of us, but we managed to navigate around the sprawling park comfortably. Three of the four sides are fenced, as the park is nestled inside the city of Nairobi. However, the fourth side is not fenced. This allows freedom of movement for the animals. In fact, that fourth side is along a natural migration route.

Seemingly everywhere we looked, we saw animals. Around every bend was another thrilling sight! We thoroughly enjoyed every single minute of the afternoon.

We carried in a sack lunch with us and found the shade of a tree to sit under. A giraffe meandered quite close to us while we ate. Perhaps we had taken his favorite picnic site!
