Overview

About Nairobi National Park

Few capital cities have a national park within sight of their skyline. Nairobi National Park is one of the best places in Kenya to see rhino, alongside lions, giraffes, buffalo and plenty of plains game.

Because it is only a short drive from the airport and the city hotels, it fits neatly into an arrival day or a long layover.

Best time to go

Jun – Oct, Jan – Feb

Good year-round; the drier months make the park roads easier and the animals easier to find.
