Questions about Nairobi National Park

Mugumo-ini ward, by the boundaries on the Nairobi Maps map.
How do I get approval to build in Nairobi National Park?
Building plans are submitted to Nairobi City County through its online planning system, NPDMS, by a registered architect and engineer, and they must keep within this zone’s limits. If the use you want is not one the zone allows, a change of use comes first. Check your plot on the Nairobi Maps map before the drawings are made.
