Great experience! We got to see 3 of the big 5. No Leopards spotted and no elephants in this park. The tour guide was excellent, and the hidden market inside the park was a great find!

MUST DO if you’re in Nairobi unless you’re going for Safari in other locations. We were unbelievably close to the animals and had a wonderful experience here. We got our tour from GetYourGuide, our guide took care of everything and ensured we had a good experience.

A great place to be in contact with nature within a short distance from the city center. We saw lions, zebras, jirafes, hipos, ostriches, gazelles within a few minutes from each other. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star is because the roads are in a dire state and our vehicle kept bouncing, urgent maintenance is required. Given that we're charged an entry fee we expected that the roads would be in a good state.

It was awesome 😎. I loved seeing two "weddings", one from the baboons, another from the lions 😎 I loved seeing the "pembe" rhinos, I also saw where the ivories were burnt.. Nairobi national park is so exciting. The fun and how the tour guides communicate to make sure no one misses a nice view/scene. Buffalos too were gracious. And the hippos and giraffes... Amazing.
