5/5
Nairobi National Park was established in 1946 to protect the region's wildlife from the rapidly developing city. Today it's home to a huge variety of wild animals, including the "big five", which roam the park's 117 square kilometers.With the skyscrapers of Nairobi looming on the horizon, this isn't your classic safari experience. Nevertheless, it's rather beautiful and there's a high chance that you'll see lots of animals. Prices are set at USD $50 per person, with an additional charge of KS8,500 for vehicle entrance. There are lots of safari companies in operation in Nairobi who will take you around the park, while local taxi drivers also offer this service. Convenience-wise it's pretty unbeatable, despite Nairobi's infamous traffic. You can easily combine a day-trip here with a visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, a neighboring baby elephant sanctuary, and the Giraffe Center in nearby Karen.

    We arrived around 11 a.m. and it was a good deal to take Uber from the city. The ticket sellers at the entrance of the park are very kind. If the tickets are converted to US dollars, the tickets are almost US dollars per person. You can find a local tour guide to rent a car (with a driver tour guide) on the spot. It may be due to the off-season. The cost of the tour guide ➕ is enough for two people. 50 US dollars is enough. Some tour guides will open a higher price and have to bargain with him. If you arrange a car rental at the hotel, the price is relatively high. It is not recommended to let the hotel arrange it. The park drive time is about 2 hours. The original ecological environment in the park can feel the living state of natural creatures. There are indeed more animals than people. The animals inside are generally not afraid of people and cars, because the park is fully open and people are not allowed to get off the bus. Listen to the tour guide that animals here generally do not attack people. The animals seen inside are mainly lions, horned horses, bison, giraffes, antelopes, eagles, vultures, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, no elephants, you can take pictures up close. The tour guide is very professional and friendly, there is no request for more fees, the overall experience is good, score 8 points, have a chance to come again!

    About an hour's drive from Nairobi, the area is small but there are large animals such as elephants, hippos, giraffes and lions, it is worth visiting.

    A great destination. The only national park in a city in the world. When visiting Nairobi, take time to visit. I deal for a day trip.
