Nairobi National Park
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon gives the best light and the most active wildlife, especially predators; dry season (June to October) improves visibility and road access.
Budget tips
Entry fees vary by nationality and age, check the Kenya Wildlife Service website for current KWS rates and resident discounts; consider a KWS annual pass if visiting multiple parks and bring your own snacks to avoid higher on-site prices.

About
Fakta singkat: Dust hangs in the late-afternoon light as grazing herds and a solitary rhino move across open grassland, a distant skyline making the scene feel unexpectedly surreal. Visitors often spot over 100 bird species on a single walk and can encounter lions and cheetahs within a short drive, creating thrilling, highly accessible wildlife encounters.
Sorotan: On a 117-square-kilometer plain you can watch giraffes nibble dusty acacia leaves while a steel skyline shimmers on the horizon, and guides will point out more than 400 bird species by song and feather, down to the flash of the lilac-breasted roller. After the poaching crises of the 1980s rangers began radio-tracking and naming dozens of black rhinos, a habit that means a guide will sometimes say "watch Tank over by the kopje" and everyone will know which individual with the bent horn they mean.
Insider tips
- Arrive at sunrise to catch predators leaving the plains and to avoid mid-morning city traffic into the park.
- Wear neutral, layered clothing and closed shoes, mornings can be chilly and afternoons warm.
- Bring binoculars and a 200–400mm zoom lens, keep your camera ready during drives as animals appear quickly.
- Combine a game drive with the Nairobi Safari Walk and the David Sheldrick Trust, visit those later in the afternoon to avoid midday queues.
