The Nairobi National Park Tour attracts thousands of tourists from around the world, who travel great distances to experience the thrill of a game drive within a city.
Yet a Kenyan-born has never stepped into this Impeccable, picturesque, and enchanting Park. Why is that?
The Cost? Not really, but in case it is, we are here to make the Nairobi National Park Tour affordable for you.
Before we give you the offers. Here is everything you need to know about the Nairobi National Park tour.
Why Nairobi National Park Stands Out.
Once you visit, that’s it, you`re in for a long haul.
Now I want you to picture this. You’re in an office or hotel near this Park, and all you have to do is just have a quick view over that window pane, and suddenly you’re like a dog with two tails.
Viewing lions prowling on those Gazelles and to accentuate this, all you need is binoculars, probably a S25 Ultra, and you’re certainly sorted.
To spice it up, go for a game drive and take panoramic pictures of lions in their natural habitat with a backdrop of skyscraper city buildings.
Where else can you get such an experience? This makes the Nairobi National Park tour a unique tourist destination.
Why you should do the Tour.
Affordable.
The Nairobi National Park tour is the most affordable safari Package in Kenya.
We highly recommend a maximum of 6 pax per Tour Van or Land Cruiser. This will allow each guest to have a window view as opposed to being 8 Pax, unless you are on a tight budget. In such cases, you can hire our Tour buses.
Nairobi National Park’s fee has always been almost half of the other National Parks’ fees. This is not because it has less to offer but because it is a Kenyan treasure for people all over the world to see.
In any case, the Nairobi National Park game drives are more engaging than most of the other National parks and reserves in Kenya
Nairobi National Park is home to the big five, except the Elephant, which can be viewed at David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (Nairobi).
The Big Four, Lion, cheetah, leopard, and buffalo, are just some of the animals you can encounter on a half-day trip on the Nairobi National Park Tour.
If you are lucky, you will spot antelope species, including the oribi, a grassland special. Coke’s hartebeest is quite common, and if lucky, a herd of shy eland will come into view. Pairs of little Kirk’s dik-dik can be spotted as the endangered Hartebeest.
Ivory Burning Site Monument.
This is one of the most important landmarks in the annals of conservation: It was here that the second Kenyan president, Daniel Arap Moi, made a dramatic statement to poachers by setting fire to 11 tonnes of seized ivory in 1989.
That event did send a strong message to the POACHERS. These Cold Hearted… are the worst thing that has ever happened to wildlife.
So, the burning meant we were strict about poaching and that it should stop immediately.
Until 2016, former president Uhuru Kenyatta did the same. He burned another 100 tonnes of Ivory at the same site.
Walking trails at hippo pools.
Following the Athi River Banks come Nature trails inside the Nairobi National Park. This is one of the places you can take a walk or hike, as there are raised wooden board path that allows you to have a panoramic aerial view and the Hippo Pools.
It is a showcase of the park, and the route is patrolled by the KWS ( Kenya Wildlife Service) frequently, just to keep you safe.
The picnic sites.
The park has facilities such as toilets, running water, and a parking area.
Hiking, picnics, game viewing, and bird watching with animals, including hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, terrapins, and birds.
The location of Hippo Pools Nature Trail is in Nairobi National Park’s southeastern end, near the Athi River.

Frequently asked questions.
Why is it that there are no Elephants in the NNP?
Despite being the oldest park in Kenya, the park doesn’t have elephants because it is a small park and it doesn`t have enough wood. The elephants would struggle.
Is the Nairobi National Park Tour worth it?
Yes, especially if you`re not visiting other National main parks, and only have a short time in Nairobi. Then the park is worth every dime and second of it.
