Nairobi National Park Day Tour

Where can you see a rhino next to a skyscraper? This isn’t a complicated riddle, but an invitation to one of the most spectacular city parks you may ever visit.

Just a short drive from the centre of Nairobi lies Nairobi National Park. Inaugurated in 1946, it’s the oldest national park in the country and teems with wildlife at the edge of the metropolis.

With the cityscape still very much visible as you traverse the park, you can see a whole host of animals you’d expect in such proximity to humans. Feast your eyes on:

• Lion
• Giraffe
• Rhino
• Ostrich
• Hyena

Along with more than 400 species of bird that have been identified here.

Vistas of yellow grasses punctuated by tower blocks and housing before you spot the sky give you a unique perspective on this Kenyan safari. The acacia trees you recognise share a landscape with the office and accommodation blocks you wouldn’t expect to see with buffalo somewhere in between.

Join your guide in your dedicated safari vehicle that will take you around the best bits of the park. Trust them to locate the animals you’re hoping to see and learn about the development of this special environment.

This short Kenyan safari is perfect for those who are staying long-term in Nairobi and want a well-spent weekend. Land in the morning and have half a day before your full safari adventure starts? Add this extra, half-day trip to your itinerary.
