The Director General of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), Prof. Erustus Kanga held a consultative meeting with the leadership and members of Friends of Nairobi National Park (FoNNaP) at KWS Headquarters to address concerns and strengthen collaboration on the future of Nairobi National Park.

The engagement underscored the Service’s commitment to building partnerships anchored on trust, transparency, mutual respect, and a shared vision for conservation. During the meeting, the Service presented the master plan for the proposed upgraded Nairobi Animal Orphanage.

The session provided an opportunity to comprehensively brief a conservation partner on the upgrade and relocation of the facility. It was demonstrated that the current orphanage is overstretched due to increasing numbers of rescued animals, large numbers of visitors, particular school children, and growing demand for conservation education. The proposed new site near Galleria–Bomas, within a grassland glade, was identified through a rigorous scientific and multi-agency process as the most suitable option. The site construction will not effect any of the park’s upload forest, and only a minimal number of invasive eucalyptus trees, previous planned for removal, will be cut down. The site offers adequate space, improved accessibility, enhanced animal welfare conditions, and a significantly improved learning environment for visitors.

This initiative represents a critical step in strengthening wildlife care, advancing conservation education, and securing the future of Kenya’s natural heritage. The upgraded orphanage is expected to enhance rescue and rehabilitation outcomes, improve visitor experience, create over 500 jobs, and reinforce Nairobi’s position as a global conservation hub. The facility will also include parking capacity for up to 1,300 vehicles to support up to 20,000 visitors per day. The Service remains open to constructive engagement with all stakeholders aligned to these objectives, recognizing that successful conservation is built on collaboration, clarity of purpose, and shared responsibility.
