A perfect end to a life changing experience
I found the park to be amazing. My favorite part was when we had a reasonably close encounter with a Black Rhino. That experience took my breath away. All the other animals and birds on this Nairobi National Park tour were very special. I asked my guide if locals visit the park and he said no. He told me most of the visitors were tourists. I was saddened to hear that the locals did not take advantage of such a national treasure.
All together, I found the Nairobi National Park to be very special. It was fascinating that such a park with such beautiful wildlife so close to a large city was available to me any anyone else who wanted to see nature, especially endangered animals before

they disappear. It is also wonderful for people who travel on business to Nairobi to have such a beautiful place to experience nature in the wild so close that they can take a few hours between meetings to feast their eyes on real nature.

A must do while in Nairobi
Well if you are in Nairobi, then a trip to the Nairobi National PArk must be on the Itinerary. It is preety much the only National park in a city anywhere in the world.
Wild, untouched and well populated, one will always get to see great game from the herbivores, to the big cats and even rhino. Bird lovers will also not go wrong.
An excellent trip for an early morning trip or in the evening. Its easily accessible from the city through the many entrance gates and one can even do it in the standard family car.

Adventurous
This is the only Game park within the City of Nairobi,so travelling time is max 30 min where ever you stay in Nairobi town, during my regular visits I have seen almost all the wild life including resident Lions with new born cubs as well, which one can see in major Game reserves apart from Elephants,...very good for birders during rainy season.Sometimes we see many migrant birds as far from Europe.

Skyscrapers and lions side by side
Nairobi National Park is a nice park. Here you get the opportunity to see wildlife in the bush, accompanied by tall buildings and city landscape.
The park is a very good park for viewing lions. It is also a sanctuary for endangered rihnos, so the chances are pretty high for spotting rihnos. It also offers a wide range of landscapes, with forest, plains, river and a small lake.
To walk on the paths with a KWS-guard to look for crocodiles and hippos in the river is reccomended.
The park also has an advantage with not beeing to big. It is a nice park to drive by yourself, without a safariguide.
Highly reccomended park to visit!

Miles better than airport hotel
We arrived here at the lodge 90 minutes after landing with dinner waiting at 2300. Next morning at 0600 we were on our first game drive. The ranger was excellent and vechicles comfortable. In 2 drives and a walk we saw 51 birds and 17 mammals including lion with the city as a back drop!!!!
The lodge was comfortable and the food was excellent
Great way to start a trip

Beautiful
Nairobi National Park is the perfect destination for Nairobi residents and tourists who dont want to travel far from the capital city to see wildlife. the weather was perfect during my day of visit. and from the look of the scenery it seemed like its mostly like that. (calm weather.) we saw a variety of wildlife including lions which was my main wildlife i was eager to see. Overall rating, i would give Nairobi National park a 6.

worth a visit if staying in Nairobi. Not a large amount of wildlife
Nairobi National Park is a unique ecosystem by being the only protected area in the world close to a capital city. The park is located only 7 km from Nairobi city centre

A bush experience on the borders of a bustling city
The park is home to Kenya Wildlife Service’s headquarters; as a result the game is very well protected and Nairobi National Park has become something of sanctuary to rhinos, and there is a population of around 60. The park is mostly open grasslands, and you’re almost guaranteed of seeing hartebeest, zebra and giraffe. There is a healthy population of lions too, and one evening we watched a pride of about 15 – including many cubs – laze about as the sun set.
There are now two lodges within the park: The Emakoko, a very comfortable lodge set in small valley, with suites that look out through fever trees, and Nairobi Tented Camp, which is set in a beautiful forested ravine. If you’re travelling to Kenya for

a safari experience, it’s well worth booking into one of these lodges, as you’ll not waste any time getting into bush mode.

Fun to have next to the city skyline. Feels like a zoo without fences. The guides are just average.
