 Kenya remains a world-leading safari destination according to the World Travel Awards. Tourism in Kenya is the second-largest source of foreign exchange revenue after agriculture. One of Kenya's most significant attractions is wildlife viewing. These include large cat species such as lions, leopards and cheetahs, as well as elephants, rhinos and giraffes. All of these animals may be seen in their natural habitats during a wildlife safari. Some of the major national parks in Kenya include the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Amboseli National Park, Savo East and Savo West National Parks, and the iconic Nairobi National Park, which is the only park in the world located within a city. Today we are pleased to give you a test, a virtual tour of the Nairobi National Park. Join us. Zambu Zambu, Karibu Sana, Wikimania 2022, we're right here at Nairobi with members of the Wikimedia Community User Group in Kenya, and we are taking you to the Nairobi National Park, which is the only park in the world located within a city. Are you guys excited? Yes! Yeah, we're excited. Nairobi National Park is home to some of the big five. Please come with us and let's tour the Nairobi National Park. Join us. Yeah, yeah. We are going to enter Nairobi, Kenya, Nairobi National Park. We are local tourists. We are going to look at the big five. This is the Masai Giraffe. Actually, I don't know if it's true that there are more buildings here. Sometimes, ladies make comments that they have really, really nice eyeballs. What's their gestation period? Is it 11 months? Yeah. And they like feeding. This is a type of keshia called the whistling thong, which is a favorite for giraffes. The thong has some fruitish things, which are called gull. When the gull is still soft, there are some ants that make holes on them. When the wind blows, it makes a whistling sound. That's where the name whistling thong originated. So the giraffes like feeding on them. But then again, this shrub has a certain chemical. It produces, once in a while, that when the giraffe tries to feed on it, it is bitter and keeps away the giraffe. So the giraffe usually tries to go to the windside so that they get the smell of the shrub, so that they know which one they can feed on. It's like a protection mechanism by the tree, not to be fed by the giraffe. So where I come from, when the fruits are still soft and young, we used to feed on them. Actually, it's succulent and it helps when you are thirsty. King of the jungle is highness. So this is a Maasai ostrich. We have two types of ostrich. We have the Maasai and Somali ostrich. This is a male ostrich. Usually the males and females have different colors. The male is black and white with pink neck and legs. And the female is gray. The Somali ostrich, the neck and the feet, the legs are somehow gray to blueish. Ostriches don't have a proper digestive system just like chicken. So they have to swallow some stones to help break down the food. As you can see, it's feeding on the shoot of grass and sometimes some insects and stuff like that. It is the second fastest animal after the cheetah. It can run up to 50 kilometers per hour. Usually the brain of the ostrich is smaller than its eye. And the next to the right is the largest antelope called Eland. This is the largest antelope in Africa. They are always very strong. They can jump up to 3 meters high. These are male imbalas. They are male? Yes. Normally they hang out in a bachelor group. Boys club. Waiting for their chance to dominate the females. Because there is only one male with three males. So they will at some point try to challenge the dominant male. If they succeed, they take over. If not, the other one continues. So if all of them attack one male, who takes over, all of them will just run? No, they don't do that. There is only one who feels like he wants to challenge. The dominant male can dominate for about three to four months. I don't think they will be happy. People are among the most dangerous animals. It is said that they kill more people than even snakes. Why? Yeah. For people being herbivorous, then why does it attack humans? Because they are under threat. So normally when you come it is dangerous. We actually have enough watering points for these animals and have let the park management have drilled some boreholes just in case there is shortage of water. But we have manmade dams strategically located in the park that takes care of the animals and the water here. But can you see like the climate change aspect has had an effect? Definitely it is changing. Generally it is changing because the rain seasons keep on changing. But the fact that at least this park is protected and it's fence, we don't have people's cows coming to graze here. At least the grass is almost sufficient, I would say, compared to outside there. Right now the grass is sufficient. At the time that there were stories that some of the animals had gone into the neighbouring towns. Yeah they do. There are some areas, usually when it rains, when there is a lot of grass here, especially for the herbivores, they tend to move out of the park because they don't like where there is long grass. So they tend to go, you know, those open areas, if you had to keep Tengela. But now that it is dry on the outside, most of the animals have moved back in here. So we have most of the herbivores here. So we are at the historic ivory burning site at the Nairobi National Park and some will be telling us more about this place. It's a memorial site to commemorate elephants and rhinos that have been killed by poachers because of the ivory and horns. And here is just a chart indicating how the order of ivory burning has happened. It started in 1989 by Daniel Arab Moi. He burned a pile of 12 tons of ivory which was estimated to be worth a million dollars and then followed again in 2011 by President Kibaki who burned five tons of ivory. In 2015 President Kenyatta burned 15 tons of ivory and then 2016 again he burned along with the Alibongo of Gabon. He burned one of five tons of ivory and 1.35 tons of rhino horns. One nice thing about getting a game drive at the Nairobi National Park is that you can have a few minutes to sit down and just chill and get to feel good about the environment. There are three places where you can get to chill out and sit. So currently we are at the Impala picnic site where we just want to have a few meals here, get to talk, get to bond, play a few games. After that we will be going back to the entrance where we will get to have a Maasai dance which is very popular in Kenya. So I just want to ask maybe from the team if anyone would share what their highlight has been for this day. It has been amazing, the great team, the amazing glavers. What can I say, the weather, the chilly morning and the beauty of seeing the animals around us. For me my biggest highlight was seeing or rather coming to the park for the first time in I think over 10 years. The last time I was here at the Nairobi National Park I think I was still in, I was 19. Yeah, and now I'm still 19 plus some 10 years experience. My highlight was just seeing how vast this park is because when you talk about it you don't realize how big it is and especially since we are always within the city, there are skyscrapers all over but I'm here in the middle I can't see buildings, I'm like oh yeah, okay interesting. Yeah and then I also go to see lions and it's amazing even how the tour guides can tell like this lion is a brother to that one. I found that fascinating, I don't know about you guys. And then also how they get to tell if this is a male impala this is a female one, if this other one is pregnant. Yeah and also maybe something that we also need to mention about this park. It has an historical ivory burn inside. So this was just to show Kenya's commitment in wildlife conservation and also like you know the ban against ivory. So that has been great and also if you guys can see we don't have like plastic bottles. Single-use plastic bottles are not allowed in national parks in Kenya. Kenya has one of the toughest plastic burns. Yeah Shalom one of the newcomers what has been your highlight of their whole experience not just about the national park but also being like a community member. My highlight of today is seeing the whole team here together seeing wildlife together, spending this Sunday morning together and seeing very, I don't say cute but scary lions but yeah that has been the highlight of my day. It's a nice beginning of the week. How do you feel being part of this wiki community in Kenya? Because you're our baby, you're our last born newcomer. How do you feel about this?
