Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park is a unique safari destination located just outside Kenya’s capital, offering visitors a chance to experience wildlife within minutes of the city. It is one of the few national parks in the world located near an urban center, making it an ideal choice for travelers with limited time.

The best time to visit is during the dry seasons (July to October and January to March) when animals congregate around water sources. The wet season brings lush vegetation and newborn animals.

Luxury options like The Emakoko Lodge provide comfortable stays, while budget travelers can explore the park on day trips from Nairobi.

Game drives allow visitors to see lions, rhinos, giraffes, and buffalos against the backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline. Other attractions include the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues orphaned elephants, and the Giraffe Centre, where visitors can interact with endangered Rothschild giraffes.
