Stop At: Nairobi National Park, Langata Road, Nairobi Kenya

You will be picked up at your hotel / airport and be driven to Nairobi National park, which is situated almost at the doorstep of the capital city, not far from JKIA Airport. The Nairobi national park is ideal for making acquaintance with Kenya and good preparation for a safari. It contains a satisfying number of Africa’s best known animals- gazelle, zebra, giraffe and buffalo, lion, leopard, and cheetah that may prove to be camera friendly than those in the bush. The park is one of the best places in Kenya to spot rhinos. In the southeast of the park, you can walk through an acacia forest and have a chance to spot hippopotamus and crocodiles in Athi River. Over one hundred species of mammals mainly plains game have been recorded in this park. The big five are represented except the elephant. A unique feature of Nairobi national park is that visitors do not have to travel far to view game in their natural habitat.
