Discover the wild side of Kenya's capital with a half-day private safari in Nairobi National Park. Located just a short drive from the city centre, this remarkable wildlife destination offers an opportunity to experience Kenya's natural heritage without travelling far from Nairobi. Enjoy an exciting game drive through open grasslands, scattered acacia woodlands and riverine habitats in search of the park's diverse wildlife. Look out for lions, black and white rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, ostriches, gazelles and numerous bird species. With some luck, you may also encounter a leopard resting in the woodland or moving through the park.
