Only Nairobi offers a game park experience close to a major city, perfect for a day trip outing. No elephants, but plenty of other animals made the day delightful. I highly recommend visiting if you are on a limited schedule and cannot get to the other wonderful parks in Kenya.
The park is large and it is very easy to find the animals. Since I was in Africa for the first time and on business purpose, I thought it wise to visit the park as time could not allow a visit to Masai Mara as recommended. The trails are easy short and guides were very good. The park is magical and full of surprises. Am glad I took this decision because it was very economical and refreshing.
The secret of Nairobi National park is pure and simple, and get there early to see the lions having a kill or had a kill. Leopards are difficult to spot. Rhino are rare now.If you dont get there early you just going to have a ride in the bushes for the rest of the day. Best time to go is at 6am just before the gates open.
The National Park is close to town, it is worth doing. if you are lucky you can see the Big 5. One half-day excursion is enough
We only visited the orphanage, but it was a good experience for the little ones. It's also a short tour which is good for them as well. Well worth the entry fee
A national park in a city? Only in Nairobi Kenya!!Its a perfect place to visit as a family or a couple or a group. For bird watching enthusiasts and nature lovers. From the beautiful scenery and beautiful animals and birds. You have to experience it to know how amazing it is.
what i liked most was the convenience to reach the park from the capital city without to much long distance travel. by the way Nairobi itself is an attraction on its own. cool weather and other attraction sites from animal orphanage, museums, libraries full of history and much more from monuments of our fore fathers who fought for the independence. the road net work in the park is good even when it rains. i think buffalos here are much bigger and aggresive than the tsavo east one. ostriches of somali and masai origin can be found here often. antelops , baboons and many gaelles. unfortunate i could not see cats in the bush and its natural environment. but good work of a kws guide who was with us.
early morning safari, we were leaving our premicess by 6am, At the entrance canivores big cats lions
We started our tour from the hotel at Karen at 6am and reached there by 6.30am. It took $50 for entrance inside the park. We first saw a rhino crossing in front our van. Our driver Fred was excellent. He can smell the Lion. We saw the full lion family and so many zebra, giraffe and soooo many animals. I was so excited.
Everyone who visit Kenya must see one of the National parks. This one is nexr to teh capital and one day trip is excellent idea.
