Nairobi National Park

Langata Road, Nairobi Open daily

Nairobi National Park is one of the only national parks bordering a capital city, where lions, rhinos, zebras and giraffes roam against a backdrop of city skyscrapers. A game drive here is a real safari just minutes from town, making it perfect for families short on time. The park is a stronghold for endangered black rhino and home to over 400 bird species.

Good to know: Early morning drives give the best wildlife sightings and cooler weather.
