Nairobi National Park
The only national park in the world located within a capital city. Here, you can photograph lions, rhinos, and giraffes with the city’s skyscrapers in the background—truly a unique “urban safari” experience.
Jungle Safari
Jungle Safari
Jungle Safari is an overland journey, usually a trip by tourists to Africa. In the past, the trip was often a big-game hunt, but today, safari often refers to trips to observe and photograph wildlife—or hiking and sightseeing, as well.
Night Game Drives
While most national parks close at sunset, many private conservancies (like those in the Maasai Mara or Ol Pejeta) offer the thrill of a night safari. Using specialized red-filtered spotlights, you can witness the “wild” side of the night—watching lions on a hunt, spotting elusive leopards, or seeing rare nocturnal creatures like bush babies and aardvarks that stay hidden during the day.
Urban Wildlife Encounters
In Nairobi, tourists can enjoy a “safari in the city.” They can feed endangered Rothschild giraffes at the Giraffe Centre or visit the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage to see rescued baby elephants being bottle-fed.
