内罗毕市中心向南仅约8公里,是一片120平方公里的美丽林地和草原。这里是煎成于1946年的内罗毕国家公园,也是世界上唯一一个设在国家首都的野生动物园。由于它得天独厚的自然条件,公园内生活着80种哺乳类动物和500多种鸟类。公园正门旁是肯尼亚野生动物服务总部和1964年建立的动物孤儿院。动物孤儿院收留治疗被遗弃的小动物和伤病动物,直至他们具备重返大自然的生存能力。内罗毕国家公园在肯尼亚算是比较小型的野生动物园,对于那些渴望更加深入体验非洲野性之美的人来说,内罗毕向西约150公里的马塞马拉野生动物保护区无疑是最佳的选择。
纽约位于美国纽约州的最南端,由五个行政区组成,而纽约的城市核心就是这个面积最小,人口最为稠密的曼哈顿区。感受纽约的繁华就一定要前往这里的著名街区。我们首先第一站来到的就是时代广场。时代广场是世界上最为繁华的商业街区,被誉为世界的十字路口。这里有川流不息的人和车,而眼花缭乱的霓虹灯与LED广告牌就是时代广场的标志。可以说全世界的大品牌们都希望能在这里播放他们的广告,并以此为荣。不过更令时代广场国际驰名的是这里的跨年活动。据测算,每年来到时代广场跨年的都会超过100万人,通过电视观赏到倒计时盛况的也会超过10亿人。人们会提前10个小时来到时代广场,集体迎接新年钟声的敲响,观看水晶球的坠落,欣赏时代广场一座顶楼彩球中飘散出了无数写满祝福语言的纸片和彩带,非常有纪念意义。在曼哈顿岛的几何中心位置,是被这些耸立的摩天大楼所包围的中央公园。这是世界上最大的城市中央公园,长4公里,宽800米。纽约中央公园实现了现代化城市与大自然的零切换,这里拥有多样性的生态系统、数百种动植物和各类完善的休闲游乐设施,是全全球访问量最大的旅游景点之一。它的规模和文化地位使其成为世界城市公园的典范。
一座距离赤道仅有145千米的非洲城市,以其独特的地理位置和气候条件,被誉为阳光下的绿城。这里高楼林立,绿树成荫,不仅是肯尼亚的文化和政治中心,也是东非的经济引擎。这里有非洲最大的城市贫民窟与繁华的城市形成鲜明对比,也有众多国家公园和野生动物保护区,展现着非洲的壮丽风光和野性之美。它就是拥有530万人口、面积约696平方公里的肯尼亚共和国首都内罗毕。内罗毕这个位于赤道上的非洲城市,其实离我们并不遥远。影片走出非洲中那一幕幕绮丽而动人的景色都源自于此。狮子王辛巴和他的朋友们都生活在这里的大草原上,最让我们印象深刻的还是动物世界里的那一句熟悉的在非洲的大草原上。尽管内罗毕距离到仅有145千米,但由于它坐落在海拔近1700米的高原上,这里的气候凉爽而宜人,年平均温度在20摄氏度左右,城区高楼林立,绿树成荫,因此内罗毕也被称为阳光下的绿城。内罗毕不仅是肯尼亚的文化中心,也是东非的政治中心。内罗毕是联合国环境规划署和联合国人居署总部的所在地,也是联合国四大办公地点之一。并且东非最重要的金融机构,一些大型跨国公司的区域性总部也设在内罗毕。这里拥有东非最大的国际机场乔莫肯亚塔国际机场,以及东非最先进的由中国公司承建的铁路系统。
