Sections of the Nairobi National Park are on fire.
The unfortunate incident happens barely a week after an inferno broke out at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) last Friday night
According to various videos and images circulating online, the inferno can be spotted near the Mlolongo area. The pictures depict a huge blaze of red and yellow flames, with black smoke.
At the moment, it is unclear how much of the park is burning and how far the fire has spread. Unverified reports indicate the blaze began as a small bushfire but has quickly spread.
The fire starts near the Standard Gauge Railway line and is spreading quickly.
Authorities are yet to issue any statements about the fire. However, a group calling itself ‘Friends of the Nairobi National Park’ says firefighters from the Kenya Wildlife Service are on the scene.
