It is really so special to be able to turn off from a horrific traffic jam and find yourself in nature within a minute. It is a bit of a shame that it is so expensive for non-residents as it really makes for a lovely outing or a fantastic detour to or from the airport if you are heading to... More

Best place in Nairobi. Go down to hippo dam, spend a five hours, bring a picknick and enjoy!! Get close to the buffalos and the giraffe. See a few lions and you will be able to handle one more week in Nairobi.

We just got back from a day safari (a morning and an afternoon game drive) to Nairobi National Park and are absolutely thrilled about our experience. It blew all our expectations out of the water. We went hoping to see a lion and came away having seen almost an entire pride (8 cubs and 3 adult females but no males)... More

Started with excitemet... and enthusiasm, as I was visiting the 1st National Park in the African Sub-continent. We hired a taxi at 8am from our service-apartment near Fairmont The Norfolk Hotel and negotiated for 2,500 KES(To & Fro + taking the ride on the same vehi inside the park). First thing that strikes you, as a foreigner, is the entry... More

While on a work trip I spent a Sunday morning with a hired driver exiting the park. It was rainy season and a bit more difficult to see some species, however the giraffes alone were worth the trip. I loved being so close to them in their natural environment. I highly recommend the trip if you are unable to go... More

Anytime is good enough to visit the park. The thrilling thing about is the fact that it is very near and one does not need to plan as it is just a drive away. The animals one sees.

Had a great time at the park. Although I had seen many animals in Maasai Mara, it was still a wonderful experience to see more animals in the park. Couldn't get enough of the Zebras!!

In Nairobi we negotiated with a taxi driver about the price he would take us for a half day, and agreed for 4000 ksh (~40 EURO) to pick up from hotel in the morning, do a safari in the park and drop us back in the afternoon. The park fee is about 3200 ksh per person (adult). As it was... More

If you're in Nairobi you must see this wildlife park. Roaming across the park are lions, zebra, giraffes, white rhino, black rhino, hippos, buffalo and lots of native birds. You need a 4x4 and a map or hire a local guide. Entry fee is a little high - but remember tourism is a key source of revenue for Kenya. If... More
