Game count from Nairobi National Park16/06/2009 15:27:03
Nairobi National Park is a haven for Black rhino. Credit Will Knocker. The game was counted just before the drought broke. The following figures are significant because they represent most of the large mammals currently to be found in the Nairobi National Park & environs. Most of all species were in the park looking for grazing and/or water in the midst of a nasty drought which has now, thankfully, broken. The question remains: where will the 300 odd eland, the 700 odd kongoni & the 1,000 wildebeest that are here counted going to go now? The 3000 zebra are better adapted to living out on the humanised Athi Plains that is the dispersal area nowadays. The fact is that they are going to have to adapt to living in what is an increasingly encircled Nairobi National Park,. The count was conducted by KWS & FONNAP:
