Nairobi National Park Safari Experience

Embark on a half-day or full-day game drive through Nairobi National Park to see classic African wildlife just outside the city. Safari vehicles allow you to explore the open savannah, riverine forest, acacia woodland, and highland dry forest that make up the park’s unique ecosystem.

The Nairobi National Park safari experience is especially known for close-up rhino sightings, as it’s a major sanctuary for endangered black rhinos. Early morning or late afternoon drives offer the best wildlife viewing and golden light for photography.

The park is open year-round, but the dry season (June to October) offers the best visibility as animals gather around water sources. However, early mornings are the best time to spot predators and avoid the midday heat.
