  1. Climate

The average temperature in Nairobi National Park is about 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Moisture is abundant, and the weather is usually sunny.

  1. Time of Day – Best Time to Visit Nairobi National Park

Visiting the park at different times will allow you to view the wildlife in different conditions.

For example, the early morning and late afternoon are particularly good times to see migrating animals.

The animals usually sun themselves in the morning and hunt for food in the afternoon. Animals are also more active during these times of day, which makes them easier to view.

  1. Wildlife of Nairobi National Park

One of the most famous residents of Nairobi National Park is the lion. However, it is not the only species out of many that can be found in the park.
