Overview

About this tour

Nairobi National Park is one of Kenya’s most unique wildlife destinations, offering an unforgettable safari experience just a short drive from the heart of Nairobi. Established in 1946, it is Kenya’s oldest national park and provides a remarkable opportunity to see wildlife against the backdrop of the city skyline.

Despite its proximity to Nairobi, the park features expansive open grasslands, scattered acacia woodland, seasonal wetlands, and diverse habitats that support a wide range of wildlife.

Visitors can expect to see animals such as lion, black and white rhinoceros, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, warthog, hippo, and numerous antelope species. The park is also an excellent destination for birdwatchers, with a variety of resident and migratory bird species.

One of the highlights of a Nairobi National Park safari is the possibility of spotting wildlife with Nairobi’s skyscrapers visible in the distance—a unique combination of urban and wild landscapes that is rarely found elsewhere.
