Arrive in Nairobi and transfer to your lodge or hotel located near the park, such as Nairobi
Tented Camp (inside the park) or one of the boutique lodges just outside. After settling in, head
straight into Nairobi National Park for your first game drive. The park’s wide open savannah and
acacia bushland are home to an impressive array of wildlife, including rhinos, lions, buffaloes,
zebras, and giraffes—all set against the backdrop of Nairobi’s skyline.
Spend time exploring different sections of the park, including the Hyena Dam, the forested river
trails, and the rolling plains where predators often roam. Return to your lodge for a relaxed
evening surrounded by the sounds of nature. If staying inside the park, enjoy a more immersive
bush experience; if outside, take in views of the park boundary and city lights in the distance.

Embark on a longer game drive into the park, giving you a chance to cover less-visited areas and
potentially spot rarer species like cheetahs or the elusive leopard. With its proximity to Nairobi,
the park offers surprisingly rich game viewing, especially in the early hours. You may also visit
designated viewpoints or picnic sites that offer panoramic views of the Athi Basin and Ngong
Hills.
In the afternoon, visit nearby attractions such as the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see
rescued baby elephants or stop by the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum to add cultural
and conservation depth to your experience. Return to your lodge for dinner and a peaceful night
surrounded by wildlife, with a final opportunity for some stargazing or fireside relaxation.

Enjoy a final early morning game drive, taking in the sights and sounds of Nairobi National Park
one more time before you depart. This is often one of the best times to spot big cats returning
from night hunts or see rhinos browsing as the sun rises over the savannah. Return to your lodge
for breakfast, then check out and transfer to the airport or your next destination. If time allows,
you can stop at a local art gallery, curio shop, or café on the way out. Depart Nairobi with
unforgettable memories of a wild African safari experienced right in the heart of a modern
capital city.
