Tour Reviews

It was a very unique experience. National park in a city! Wildlife is many and the view was amazing with the city in the background. It is a good choice, if you have a short time in Kenya but still want to experience its amazing wildlife. I recommend this tour.

Bird watching

You have an opportunity to watch unique birds here.

Black Rhino

You have an opportunity to watch Rhino here.

You have an opportunity to watch Buffalo here.

You have an opportunity to watch Lion here.

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:

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.

Nairobi - Nairobi National Park

Choose whether you’d like to see Nairobi National Park in the early morning, as the animals graze and energise themselves for the day, or the afternoon when the lions are playful and the shade is sought. Your half-day tour of the park can begin at 6am or 2.30pm.

Pick-up can be from any point in Nairobi – your hotel, residence, offices, or one of the airports, and we will head straight to the park. Spend your day with an expert guide who can help you track the animals you want to see and identify the ones you find on the way.

We know where you can get the best photographs with cityscapes and indigenous animals in one amazing shot. You will have chance to frame your photos and spot perfect opportunities for selfies and landscape views.

Along with four of the big five – no elephants here, sadly – you can witness:

And plenty more.

Your game drive is in your hands with your private safari vehicle and guide. Choose the animals you want to find and the landscapes you want to witness to get the perfect half-day excursion from the bustle of the city.

Once your appetite for wildlife and adventure is sated, you can request your driver finish your tour at your convenience with the city of Nairobi.

Half Day Private Tour of Nairobi National Park

Get your safari on just minutes from downtown, starting from/returning to nairobi area hotels or the airport., we’ll pick you up for the quick ride to this nearby national park. begin your adventure in style – in a private 4 x 4 pop-top jeep., same day bookings not a problem.

Here’s a great intro to safari life. Nairobi National Park is close to the city but it’s the real deal. Incredibly, within sight of Nairobi’s skyline, you can spot lion, rhino, giraffe, buffalo, cheetah, hyena, and plenty more.

Where else in the world can you see downtown skyscrapers frame a grazing herd of giraffes? This is no zoo or theme park. No cages here. This is wildlife, naturally on the savannah as they have roamed for millennia.

Just think, minutes ago you were in a world-class capital city – now you and your group are on the plains where the East African migration of wildebeest and zebra invades by the thousands on their annual trek.

The park is only 10km (6mi) south of Nairobi, but sightings of lions and hyenas are common. Seeing primal nature so close is an almost surreal experience – your friends won’t believe your photos!

And there’s lots more to experience in this unique spot – rhinos, hippos, ostrich, and hundreds of species of colorful birds. For us at Africa Kenya Safaris , this is our home park, and we take special pride in showing it off.

Take a Quick Safari Break

Have some free time in your schedule? The park is close enough for a fun, easy gateway.

Starting from downtown, the airport or any local hotel, we’ll pick you up and get you on safari for an exciting day tracking Kenya’s wildlife.

So, ditch the city and come see the real Africa!

Help Us Save the Kifaru… the Rhino

Do you speak any Kiswahili? You do now – kifaru is the word for rhinoceros. The park supports the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya and has earned the special nickname of Kifaru Ark.

Your visit helps fund the care and protection of the park’s rhinos. The conservation efforts here have been so successful the rhino population has steadily increased. Now the park has become a source for these endangered creatures for other reserves around the country.

Make Some Friends

A group safari is a great way to make friends and meet other safari-loving adventurers. Share photos, swap stories, and maybe even discover other parks together. We can arrange other group tours for you throughout our country-wide choices of great national wildlife reserves.

At Nairobi National Park You Can Walk the Walk

Here’s another unique feature of the park – walking trails . Most national parks have few if any walking trails… not here. Enjoy your choice of a series of well-marked trails and get closer to the action.

There’s also a walking trail to the hippo pool and you’ll watch for crocodiles there as well. While you follow these trails keep your camera ready for sightings of white or black rhino and cheetah, buffalo, and possibly leopard or lion.

Check Out Your Ride

Experience your Africa Kenya Safari in a customized pop-top roof 4x4x Safari Jeep that features: Portable fridge/Cooler Box, 4 Binoculars, long-range high-frequency radio, 4G/LTE broadband WIFI connectivity, AC 230 V Power Outlets, First Aid Kit, Safari Guide Books, Baby Seats (on request), Side steps (on request) and most importantly an expert multi-lingual safari guide who will ensure you have an incredible safari experience.

Poaching – The Ivory Burning Monument

Perhaps the most dramatic symbol in the park is the Ivory Burning Monument . Created as a protest to rampant elephant poaching, several past presidents of Kenya burned hundreds of tons of illegal ivory at this spot – about 5% of all captured ivory in the world.

These dramatic ceremonies were a turning point in Kenya’s awareness of this criminal enterprise and began its dedicated commitment to protecting the country’s elephants.

Morning or Afternoon Tours – The Choice is Yours

Our group tours of Nairobi National Park are 5 hours in duration, and we offer a choice of a morning or afternoon departure. 

The morning group tour begins at 7:00 am and ends at noon.  

The afternoon group tour begins at 1:00 pm and ends at approximately 6:00 pm.

Just contact us at Africa Kenya Safaris and we’ll set up your day!

Time Capsule of Nairobi Park Tour

We’ll pick you up from your Nairobi hotel, or your choice of location in a 4 x 4 pop-top safari Jeep. Enjoy bottled water as we travel to nearby Nairobi National Park for a 5-hour exploration of lion, leopard, white and black rhino, cheetah, giraffe, buffalo, ostrich, birdlife, and other game.

We’ll also take a guided walking tour of the hippo pool trails. Of special note: we will visit the Ivory Burning Monument – site of the ceremonial destruction of poached ivory and an important call to end this illegal behavior.

At the tour’s end, we’ll depart for your hotel or other location of your choice.

Half-day tour in Nairobi National Park

Right after seeing the first giraffes, we spotted the first lion of the day, a huge male that was simply just walking along a dirt road. It didn’t really pay much attention to the tour cars, I suppose they are very used to them.
