Half Day Excursion In Nairobi National Park – ½ Day Safari Tour

Starting from/returning to Nairobi city hotels or Nairobi Airport, we’ll pick you up for a short journey to Nairobi National Park. Your safari adventure begins in the comfort of a private 4×4 Jeep with a pop-top roof, perfect for wildlife viewing.

Upon arriving at Nairobi National Park, you’ll immediately see how exceptional this unique reserve is. Despite being so close to the city’s skyline, you’ll spot lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, and much more in their natural habitat.

This is not a zoo or theme park. Nairobi National Park offers a true safari experience, where animals roam freely in the wild without enclosures. The reserve is home to thousands of animals, and during the annual East Africa migration, you can witness wildebeests and zebras moving across the open plains, passing through the acacia bushes of the park.

Located just 10 km south of Nairobi, this is Kenya’s oldest national park (established in 1946) and one of its smallest. However, it offers regular sightings of lions and hyenas. While on safari with Natural World Kenya Safaris, you’ll have the opportunity to spot endangered rhinos, hippos, ostriches, and over 400 species of birds.

The Kifaru Ark – Home to Rhinos

Named after the Kiswahili word for rhinoceros, Kifaru, Nairobi National Park is home to the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya. The park has earned the name “Kifaru Ark” due to its critical role in the protection and breeding of these rhinos. As the rhino population grows here, the park has become a key source for distributing rhinos to other parks across the country.

Walking Trails in Nairobi National Park

Nairobi National Park offers an exceptional experience with many walking trails. Unlike other parks, you can explore the reserve on foot, guided by an expert. One of the highlights is the trail to the hippo pool, where you can observe these massive creatures and possibly spot crocodiles as well.

As you follow the wildlife tracks and trails, you’ll have the opportunity to see white and black rhinos, leopards, lions, cheetahs, buffalo, and more.

A significant landmark you’ll visit is the Ivory Burning Monument, a historical site where seized ivory from poachers was publicly burned to raise awareness against the illegal ivory trade and demonstrate Kenya’s commitment to elephant protection.
