About Nairóbi

Nairobi, enérgica capital do Quénia e ponto de partida dos safaris da África Oriental, com um parque nacional à sombra dos arranha-céus.

O Parque Nacional de Nairobi fica logo depois dos subúrbios, e os seus leões, rinocerontes, girafas e búfalos podem ser vistos com os arranha-céus no horizonte. Perto, um orfanato cria jovens elefantes resgatados de todo o Quénia, e o Giraffe Centre permite encontrar, olhos nos olhos, as raras girafas de Rothschild a partir de uma plataforma elevada.
