Description

Nairobi National Park is unique because it is the only national park in the world located within a capital city. Just a short drive from downtown Nairobi, this extraordinary park offers a rare opportunity to experience a true African safari with the dramatic backdrop of city skyscrapers. It’s one of the few places where you can spot free-roaming lions, rhinos, giraffes, and other iconic wildlife just minutes from an international airport. This striking contrast between untamed wilderness and urban life creates a surreal and unforgettable experience, making Nairobi National Park a symbol of Kenya’s dedication to conservation even in the heart of its busiest metropolis.

Great budget choice

Booked the trip the day before in the evening, the company was very reactive, pick up at my hotel. Very nice staff, overall a good choice for a quick visit of the park. My only complaint is the rush on the roads of the park, spoiling some photo opportunities (but best to be the first one on a spot before a horde of 4x4 clutters the road), it would be perfect to take more time at watching the animals, but I understand the schedule is tight for the drivers. Keep in mind that on top of your payment, you still have to pay the Park's entry fees (USD 43). Download and register through the Kenyan government's app to save time. The driver proposed the group to visit the Elephant Orphanage, but even if the price is a whopping 3600 KSH, it's totally worth it. Don't miss the opportunity, it's really the highlight of the day. We have then stopped in a small road restaurant to feed ourselves, the prices were low and the food quality good, and I was then driven back to my hotel. Overall a great day, I recommend the company warmly.
