The status of the black rhinos in Nairobi National Park

Area of over 100 km? and situated 8 km south of city of Nairobi. Park is fenced on all sides except for 22 km of the southern boundary which is formed by the Embakasi River. The river is fordable in some places allowing free movement of animals to and from the adjoining Kitengela Conservation Area and the Athi-Kapiti Plains.
