Reviews: Safari in Nairobi National Park

"Since this is my first safari, starting in Nairobi National Park is perfect--enough animals to give me a sense of what was to come and yet not overwhelming.

I felt like learning the baseline here was very helpful for the more intense locations we went to next." Read more about this whole safari

"We enjoyed the game drives in the park, but it was more limited than our other experiences in Laikipia and Masai Mara.

Our one lion encounter was with a somewhat underfed group of three males.

We did manage to see a genet and a bush baby, which was fun, and we had a nice sundowner on the edge of a small lake with hippos and crocs." Read more about this whole safari

"We chose Nairobi's Park for our first game drive after we arrived in Kenya, just to get a taste of some wildlife before setting out on safari in the bush. It exceeded our expectations!

In spite of the proviso that wildlife sightings would be slim unless we started at 6am, we decided on a late start (9am) due to jet lag. Lucky for us, this was not the case! We had close-up encounters with lions, rhinos, zebras, gazelles, impalas, etc, etc, and at least 50 ostrich!

We had a wonderful Southern Cross guide, Alan, who was very knowledgeable and passionate about the animals and conservation in general. This was a great way to start our adventures in Kenya!" Read more about this whole safari

"Such an amazing way to start one’s day…by visiting the Nairobi National Park, which is a treasure to the world. It doesn't get any better then this.

The pure convenience of a wild life park within the city limits is truly amazing. This was a great introduction of what was to come with safaris.

Our guide was terrific and we saw many animals." Read more about this whole safari

"Why does this page not ask us for our sighting information?

We had the following sightings: 3 buffalo, 1 eland, 2 giraffe, 1 hippo, 2 lion, 5 zebra and 4 black rhino.

Very good experience and we really enjoyed seeing 10 rhinos!" Read more about this whole safari

"As I have mentioned, Freddy made sure that we were comfortable and that we would see as much wildlife given the limited time we had inside the park." Read more about this whole safari

"At last we saw rhinos, and very close up.

Driver was excellent." Read more about this whole safari
