About Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park is a remarkable wildlife sanctuary located just seven kilometers from Nairobi’s city center. Despite its proximity to the urban hustle, the park offers an authentic safari experience, with open grass plains and acacia-dotted landscapes teeming with wildlife. It spans about 117 square kilometers and is especially famous for being one of the few places in the world where you can spot a black rhino against a backdrop of city skyscrapers.

When to go

Nairobi National Park is open throughout the year. The experience varies depending on the season. The dry months from July to October and January to February are excellent for game viewing, as animals gather around water sources. During the wet seasons—March to May and again in November and December—the park becomes lush and green, and birdlife is at its peak, although some wildlife may be harder to spot.

What to expect

Visitors can expect to see a wide range of wildlife including lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, and even cheetahs. Bird enthusiasts will be delighted by the park’s more than 400 recorded bird species, which are especially plentiful during the wetter months. Given its location, it’s perfect for a short half-day or full-day trip and combines well with nearby attractions like the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre. Game drives are the most popular activity, but guided walks near the hippo pools also offer a different perspective.
