Nairobi National Park has the highest number of black Rhinos

This Park has the highest density of black rhinos in the country. During your game drive, you will not miss spotting the rhino.

The park is a rhino sanctuary with 76 indigenous black rhinos and 13 white rhinos. These endangered rhinos are transferred here for their own protection from poachers.

Can you tell the difference between a black rhino and a white rhino? Here’s how to tell them apart, the black rhinos are bush-browsers and carry their heads high.

They have a triangular mouth and hooked upper lip that changed from stripping leaves and thorns off bushes and low-growing trees.

The white rhino on the other hand got their name from a misnomer.

The name white is a mispronunciation of the Dutch word wide. This is in reference to the square upper lip of the white rhino.

They are grass grazers, have longer necks and their heads are bigger, pitched downward towards the ground.
