I've visited this zoo recently and thus decided to post the species list from here. I'll proably come back to it the next time I (inevitably) visit again. Species listed in shows repesent a fraction of their total offshow lineup. Species in italics were not seen. Species mentioned with commas are kept together.
Species List: 8 July 2025
Drive-through Game Reserves:
Nairobi Sanctuary
This 10 acre reserve formerly held many species of waterfiwl before the avian flu outbreaks arrived. Now it's only domestics.

A series of enclosures on the smallish side between the first and second reserve. Over 40 cubs have been born in the past 25 years.

This was formerly a cheetah drive-through area until the mid-2010s. Similar to the last reserve but with an added pool.
