Nairobi Animal Orphanage

Nairobi National Park gate Open daily

At the main gate of Nairobi National Park, the Animal Orphanage cares for rescued and recovering wildlife — lions, cheetahs, monkeys, buffalo and more. Because the animals are in enclosures, younger children who aren't ready for a full game drive can still see them safely and up close. It doubles as a rehabilitation centre, returning animals to the wild where possible.

Good to know: An easy pairing with a Nairobi National Park drive on the same day.
