Why choose Nairobi National Park?
Nairobi National Park brings open grassland and wildlife country close to the capital. It can be a focused safari experience in its own right or the first chapter of a longer Kenya trip.
Choose a focused game drive when time is limited. Add separate wildlife-centre visits only when their reservations and transfer times fit your day.

Each destination has its own landscapes, wildlife habitats and activities. Private guiding follows the booked itinerary and the permitted routes.
A little time to notice more.
01
Look for rhinos and plains wildlife
The park is an important rhino sanctuary. Explore grassland and bushland patiently; sightings and skyline views depend on conditions.
02
Enjoy a different city perspective
A game drive changes the pace of a Nairobi stay. Leave time for hotel transfers and city traffic as well as wildlife searching.
03
Build a thoughtful combination
The Giraffe Centre and Sheldrick Wildlife Trust are separate visits. Their bookings, entry conditions and transfers must be confirmed individually.
Good to know
Nairobi National Park does not have a resident wild elephant population. An elephant-orphanage visit is a separate, reservation-dependent activity.
Choose a base that makes sense
Where you stay shapes your safari.
Camp and lodge location determines access to wildlife areas and the length of transfers. The accommodation booking identifies the property, room category and meal plan.
Your existing Nairobi hotel
Nairobi day tours use the existing hotel as the pickup and return base, with transfer coverage specified in the booking.
A park-edge property
Park-edge accommodation provides a Nairobi base close to the wildlife landscape. The property’s access route and the itinerary determine transfers and park entries.
The start of a longer safari
An overnight in Nairobi can create breathing room before travelling to the Mara, Amboseli or the northern circuit.
Compare the whole trip.
The safari total covers the items listed in the quotation: accommodation, meals, private transport, guiding, entries, activities and transfers. Rates vary by season, party size and room arrangement.
A little planning goes a long way
Make the journey work for you.
Choose a focused game drive when time is limited. Add separate wildlife-centre visits only when their reservations and transfer times fit your day.
When to visit
Morning game drives use the cooler part of the day. Recent rainfall, visibility and Nairobi traffic shape the programme and transfer times.
Fees and what is included
Entry fees follow the park or conservancy authority, visitor category, age, travel dates and activities. The safari quotation itemises the entries included in the itinerary.
Park road safaris use an exclusive vehicle and guide. Tour minivans and Land Cruiser 4x4s provide the transport options, with the vehicle matched to the itinerary and party.
Share your priorities and we can help you choose a realistic route.
Will I see elephants on the game drive?
Wild elephants are not a resident feature of Nairobi National Park. A Sheldrick visit is separate and requires its own confirmed arrangements.
How long should I spend in Nairobi National Park?
Choose a focused game drive when time is limited. Add separate wildlife-centre visits only when their reservations and transfer times fit your day.
Can I combine this with other parks?
Yes. The collection includes multi-destination safaris. Each trip page sets out the daily route, overnight stops and transfers.
Is my safari private?
Your park road safari uses an exclusive vehicle and guide for your own party. Accommodation and separately booked activities can have shared facilities; specialist arrangements are confirmed in the quote.
What do you need for an accurate quote?
Send dates, adults, children’s ages, preferred accommodation, vehicle choice and any activities that matter to you. Mention Nairobi National Park and your available travel days.

Thanks to Douglas for an amazing tour. We choose the 4 wheel jeep and it was worth it as roads were very bumpy. Our day was very well organized and we enjoyed every moment.

We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife.
Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves.
The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…

Kelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. GrassesKelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals.
Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though…
