Nairobi National Park is one of the world’s
most spectacular wildlife sanctuaries
Join us in keeping it alive!
With its 117 km² of Savanna Forest and wetlands bordering Kenya’s capital, Nairobi National Park harbors an abundance of wildlife as well as many species close to extinction. While the park represents an invaluable environmental and economic asset to the city it has always also been a globally renown landmark for Kenya’s exemplary commitment to its unique wildlife heritage.
The Friends of Nairobi National Park (FoNNAp) are a non-profit membership society founded in 1995. We are in the forefront of supporting the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) in protecting Nairobi National Park and its biodiversity from the growing pressure of Kenya’s swiftly expanding city.
Help us keep this unique natural heritage alive!
