Nairobi National Park, Kenya
Nairobi national Park is Kenya’s smallest park, but you may be surprised at the large variety of animals that live there. Visitors. Especially children, can go there to learn how to recognize the different species of animals and plants. They also learn about the habits of animals and how one species is dependent upon another for survival. An interesting feature of this park is the Orphanage, where lots of orphaned or abandoned animals are taken care of.
