Nairobi National Park Is The Only Wilderness Area in a Nation's Capital

Areas of protected wilderness are generally far away from urban centers. But Kenya's Nairobi National Park is the only protected wilderness in the world that is located within a capital city. This poses challenges but also opportunities for tourists and Kenyans alike. VOA's Cathy Majtenyi visited Nairobi National Park and filed this report.
