Nairobi National Park is a unique wildlife destination located just outside Kenya’s capital city, offering travellers the opportunity to experience a safari close to the city. The park is home to lions, leopards, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and many other wildlife species. Its open grasslands and city skyline create a distinctive safari setting, making it ideal for travellers with limited time in Nairobi.
Nairobi National Park can be visited throughout the year, with the dry seasons from June to October and January to February generally offering favourable conditions for wildlife viewing. During the dry months, animals are often easier to spot, while the wetter seasons bring greener landscapes and excellent opportunities for photography and birdwatching.
Best months: June to October and January to February
