Not as many animals, very close to the city and worth the visit if you can't get out the bigger parks.

Gate Away To Sarova Shaba Guided By Big Foot Adventure

5 / 5 5 /5

Just came back from Sarova Shaba.. this trip wouldnt have been so much fun if it were not for the Big Foot Adventure tour guides. Everything about them is awesome. These guys are courteous, very friendly and accomodative too. They drive at your speed, play the music you want and engage you in a way that is pleasant. They blended so well with our team you could hardly tell the difference between us and them. Their fleet of vans is new and well maintained. I just loved their services.. i would like to recommend them for a well done job. Thanks Saidi Mtumi, Anthony Gitangu and Timothy.

Experienced my first adventures trip in Nairobi National Park. I was really very to spend time there in the surrounding of wild animals. If you also want thrill in your life, you should be here once in your life.

Good preserved wildlife

4 / 5 4 /5

We took a car and a very professional guide. We have spent all the afternoon in the park and were able to see a lot. We enjoyed the wildlife with our group, if you planned a trip of safari you must be there.

Amazing tour in Nairobi National Park. The tour its self was incredible, from the national park, seeing lions straight after a hunt, to watching the orphaned elephants play and feed, to feeding giraffes and holding a baby crocodile.

everything that rhymes with "safari" 15 minutes from the airport

I'm sure there are wilder, larger, more authentic safari destinations in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa. Nairobi National Park, though, offered a world of zebras, buffaloes, gazelles, rhinos, ostriches and lions (yes, lions!) all 15 minutes after landing in Nairobi. and seeing the wildlife against the backdrop of Nairobi makes for a beautiful sight.

The Nairobi Tented Camp was the definition of glamping.

Sunday was a bit heavy on visitors, but it did very little to spoil the experience.

If you are in Nairobi and like safaris/wildlife, don't miss the opportunity and visit the Nairobi National Park, even if it is just for few hours.

The wildlife is rich considering how small and how close it is to the Kenyan capital.

During a 1-day visit, we spotted several rhinos, antelopes, a large group of buffalos (probably 100+ buffalos), lions, ostriches, giraffes, impalas, hippos, monkeys, zebras, wildebeests, boars, baboons and kudus. The landscape/vegetation is nice.

The guide told me that the wildlife was a bit more abundant during that particular time of the year because of the start of the Great Migration, which crosses the park. I am not sure how the wildlife is during other times of the year.

Considering the proximity to the city, the park is quite crowded with tourists.

I visited the park with a private guide/compact car.
In general, it was fine because the vegetation in large areas
Read more is grass, so you can see spot the animals from distance even in a compact car. A 4x4 or a taller vehicle would allow you to take some dirt roads and see farther, still the experience was great.

You can stay in Nairobi, as the park is really close to the city - from my hotel it was just 40min by car.
