Nairobi National Park

Overview

Nairobi National Park, located just 7 kilometers from the heart of Kenya’s bustling capital, offers a unique safari experience where wildlife roams freely against the backdrop of city skyscrapers. Established in 1946, the park is one of the world’s only wildlife reserves situated within a capital city, making it an incredibly convenient destination for both local and international visitors. Despite its proximity to Nairobi’s urban sprawl, the park offers an impressive range of wildlife, including lions, giraffes, zebras, and rhinos, and is an important sanctuary for endangered species such as the African wild dog.

The park’s diverse ecosystems, from savannah to riverine forests, create a vibrant setting for wildlife sightings, making it a must-visit destination for anyone interested in nature and conservation. Nairobi National Park is an exceptional urban escape where wildlife and the city co-exist harmoniously.

Best Time To Visit

The Best Time to Visit Nairobi National Park is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. This period offers the best weather for game drives, with fewer rains and more predictable wildlife sightings. Animals tend to congregate around water sources during the dry season, making it easier to spot them. The wet season, from November to May, brings occasional rains and lush greenery, which may make wildlife a bit more dispersed but offers a peaceful experience with fewer tourists. January and February are particularly pleasant with warm temperatures and clear skies.
