Also in their company was a section of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) staff who guided them all through.

Besides food, the domestic tourists enjoyed a game drive around the park.

David, while acknowledging the reception, called on the state to revitalise local tourism as focus had greatly been on foreigners.

"I would like to thank the staff of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) lead by the CEO and personal friend Dr. Erastus Kanga for according my mother with a great reception and game drive at the Nairobi National Park. Our national parks are a treasure that we should cherish as Kenyans," he said.

According to the president's younger brother, the Nairobi National Park is among those that play a key role in enhancing Kenya's national heritage.

The group toured the park on Saturday, March 11.

If the local tourism is well looked at, he said, it would generate revenue to bolster the economy.

Ruto is however hopeful that the renewed focus on local tourism will bring much activity to the national parks thus being a source of great fun for Kenyans and their families.
