At the west end of the park is an Animal Orphanage that takes care of young injured animals found in the wild. This is a modern facility where scientists study these animals. When the Animals recover, they are returned to the wild.
Main Attraction:The main attraction to this park is its many animals and vegetation where the animals live. The vegetation consist of open grassland and acacia bushes. There is also a permanent river on the western side.
The park has about 400 species of permanent and migrant birds living there at different times of the year.
Nairobi National Park is the most successful of Kenya's rhino sanctuaries, producing many Rhino births in captivity and helping stock other national parks with these rare animals.
