Half-Day Nairobi National Park Tour from Nairobi
Nairobi, Kenya
Trip Type: Nature & Wildlife
Duration: 4 hours
Just 10km from the city centre and only 117 sq km in size, this is Kenya’s oldest park. Established around 1946, it’s a real contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city - it's the only national park on earth that borders a capital city
With over 500 varieties of birds recorded and more than 100 mammal species, it makes a great early morning or afternoon’s game drive. Common sightings include zebra, giraffe, buffalo, ostrich, gazelle, eland, hippo, vulture and lion. It is also a great place to see black rhino.

You will be picked up from your hotel and drive to Nairobi National Park.
Nairobi National Park has acquired the nickname ‘Kifaru Ark’, a testament to its success as a rhinoceros (kifaru in Kiswahili) sanctuary. The park is home to the world's densest concentration of black rhinoceros (over 50). But even proximity to Kenya's largest city couldn't prevent poachers from killing one of the park's rhinos in August 2013. It was the first such attack in six years.
Lions and hyenas are also commonly sighted within the park; park rangers at the entrance usually have updates on lion movements. You’ll need a bit of patience and a lot of luck to spot the park’s resident cheetahs and leopards. Other regularly spotted species include gazelle, warthog, zebra, giraffe, ostrich and buffalo.
The park’s wetland areas also sustain approximately 400 bird species.
You will then be dropped off at your hotel.
