One Day Nairobi City Tour

Safari summary

In what other world capital could you breakfast at your hotel and then minutes later be amongst lion, buffalo, giraffe, and rhino in the wild. Nairobi National Park lies just 7 km (4 mi) from downtown Nairobi but hosts a vast array of wildlife – cheetah, gazelle, hyena, impala, zebra, ostrich, and more – all in their natural environment.

But unlike any other wildlife park, your sightings of the wildlife are set against a background of skyscrapers and even airliners on final approach to the Nairobi airport. This unique nature reserve is a startling blend of two different worlds, both equally accessible for your enjoyment.
Nairobi National Park is so close you can take a one-day or even a ½ trip here and easily be back in town for afternoon drinks.

Highlights of Nairobi National Park
Endangered Black Rhinos – Offering one of Kenya’s densest populations of black rhinos, they will be hard to miss! The protected breeding program at Nairobi National Park is a testament to best conservation practices and guarantees you sightings of the endangered creature.
Four of the “Big Five” – Take a game drive to see lions, leopards, buffalos, and rhinos. Not to mention giraffes, zebras, hippos, impalas, hartebeests, baboons, elands, and more.
David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage – Another one-of-a-kind treat. This sanctuary within the park rescues and adopts injured and orphaned baby elephants and rhinos. Come here at feeding time to see masses of the adorable youngsters running for their giant baby bottles!

Ivory Burning Site Monument – History was made here when Kenya’s leaders oversaw the symbolic burning of tons of contraband ivory. These periodic burnings memorialized Kenya’s commitment to the abolition of the ivory trade and the protection of its elephants.
