- Nairobi National Park. This is one of the most frequented tourist destinations in the city since Nairobi is the only city in the world that has a national park. Here you get to see a variety of wildlife. Visitors can also enjoy the park’s picnic sites, three campsites, the walking trails for hikers and even go for a ride inside the park.
