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

Tour Gallery

Tour Overview

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.

I just completed my 4-day trip to Mount Kenya and I’m very satisfied with all the services provided. I received excellent assistance throughout the entire process, from start to finish. I would strongly recommend choosing them if you’re planning a trip to Kenya—I would definitely choose them again if I return.

After screening and talking to about 5 travel operators, I decided to go with Nature Romp for an 8 day safari in Kenya, in Feb 2025. Their rate was competitive and selection of lodges to stay very good. Initially I was skeptical due to less reviews about Nature Romp in public domain. However when I talked to Yvonne, I understood that theirs is a fairly new company and I decided to go with them. We (my daughter and I) opted for a private tour covering Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We were received at the Nairobi airport and the next day early morning Yvonne, Lucy and Maxwell (guide cum driver) welcomed us at the hotel, prior to starting the safari. We instantly felt at home and from then onwards it was a positive experience all the time. Our guide Maxwell is an excellent guide. He knew about birds and animals, their behavior and diligent in driving (safe driving). He was always on time. If i had to do anything differently, its only about selecting the stay option at one place (Naivasha). Although the accommodation was very good, it was pretty far from the National park. Drawing the route map and time to take to this palace would have helped me giving an additional 4 hours for bird photography. Thank you Yvonne and Maxwell. I surely plan to do another safari with Nature Romp in 2026

initially asked for 3 quotations for my 7-days safari in Kenya (Masai Mara-Amboseli-Nakuru-Naivasha). All 3 tours companies replied me right away but Ms Yvonne Ateka from Nature Romp Safaris was by far the most outstanding and patient in answering dozens of my questions concerning visa, safety, accommodation, preparation, etc… She was also extremely flexible in helping me changing my safari schedule due to my unexpected 2-days delay at transit airport New Delhi. The entire tour was fascinating!!! It was the very best trip I’ve ever had (I’ve travelled 30+ countries so far)! Kenyan nature and wildlife is breathtakingly beautiful even more than I’ve imagined before… Freddy was very caring, knowledgeable and a super offroad driver. Thank you so much again Yvonne & Freddy for making my trip in Kenya a great experience! I would wholeheartedly recommend you guys for all my friends travelling to you amazing country!
