Just minutes from Kenya’s bustling capital, Nairobi National Park offers a unique blend of city and safari. As the only national park in the world located so close to an urban center, it provides a rare opportunity to experience the wild right outside Nairobi’s skyline. Known for its rhino sanctuary, the park is home to endangered black rhinos, lions, leopards, buffalos, giraffes, and zebras, all thriving in its open grass plains, acacia bushland, and wetlands.

Start with an early morning game drive to catch animals at their most active, with chances to spot Nairobi’s skyscrapers in the background—a stark contrast that adds to the park’s charm. Bird enthusiasts will also enjoy viewing over 400 bird species. A visit to the Ivory Burning Site Monument, where Kenya’s fight against poaching is symbolized, offers an inspiring and educational experience. Nairobi National Park is a must for those wanting a quick yet rich safari experience before diving into other adventures across Kenya

The Mara is also famous for its Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. In addition to these iconic animals, the reserve is home to cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and a stunning variety of birdlife. Game drives at sunrise and sunset offer the best chances to see these animals in action, with the golden light casting a magical glow over the plains.

In the evenings, relax at a lodge or tented camp, where fireside dining and traditional Maasai performances often enhance the experience.
