Nairobi, Kenya is home to the Nairobi National Park, and aptly named ‘the world’s wildlife capital’ – the only city in the world that has a National Park.

Six lions stray from the Park into the adjacent, Langata neighbourhood. The Kenya Wildlife Service send out a message asking any one who has spotted the lions to call a toll free no. Kenyans get online and after a few minutes hilarious posts and memes start circulating.
I think Kenyans are the most hilarious and creative people on the planet. Here is a list of some of those rib crackers.

2. I think this one is self explanatory
3. Tourism
4. Drunk lion. 1824 is the name of a bar
5. Calendar/Photographed lion
6. Borrowed from Zimbabwe
7. Corporate and other organizations jumped on to the frenzy to promote their products or services
8. This promotes a local show which showcases Kenya’s wildlife. Translation of Swahili text: Do not pressure us, we have gone for the rehearsal for NTV wild(name of show) tomorrow.

NB. The lions have since been found and returned to the Park :)!
