Kenya’s iconic Nairobi National Park will begin offering night safaris from next month, a first for the urban-proximate wildlife reserve. Officials say the move is part of a broader post-COVID tourism recovery plan.
The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) announced that trained rangers, low-impact lighting, and noise-control vehicles will allow tourists to safely observe nocturnal species such as hyenas, porcupines, and leopards.
The move is generating interest from Bhutan’s Royal Manas Park and Nepal’s Bardia reserve officials, who are exploring similar eco-tourism experiences without disturbing wildlife cycles.
