Lions of Nairobi National Park

2 lion prides and 0 male coalitions or solitary males documented in Nairobi National Park, Kenya.

Nairobi National Park is Kenya’s first national park, established in 1946, and is uniquely located just 7 kilometers south of Nairobi’s city center. Despite its proximity to the capital, the park supports a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, and over 400 bird species. It is also an important sanctuary for the endangered black rhinoceros. The park features open grass plains, acacia woodland, and riverine habitats, and plays a key role in conservation, research, and environmental education while offering visitors the rare opportunity to see wildlife against the backdrop of a modern city skyline.
