Nairobi National Park  - Day Excursion

Nairobi National Park is Kenya's first ever National park and is a unique and unspoilt wildlife haven within sight of the city's skyline and near Jomo Kenyatta Airport. In fact, it is the only protected area in the world close to a capital city (7km from Nairobi City Centre).

Rhino, buffalo, cheetah, zebra, giraffe, lion and plenty of antelopes and gazelles can be seen roaming in this open plains country with a section of highland forest as well as stretches of broken bush country, deep, rocky valleys and gorges with scrub and long grass. Ornithologists view over 300 bird species including the Secretary bird, Crowned Cranes, Vultures, Peckers and many more.   This tour takes about 4 hours.

About 3 hours from Nairobi and situated between the foot hills of the Aberdares and the magnificent snow-capped Mount Kenya, the Ol Pejeta Conservancy boasts an astounding variety of animals including all the “Big Five” (the endangered black and white rhino, leopard, elephant, buffalo and lion) as well a sanctuary for rescued chimpanzees, the only one in Kenya.

Sweet waters Chimp Sanctuary is a privately owned conservancy whose sole objective is to provide a safe, secure and permanent refuge for about 40 chimpanzees in an environment that is as natural as possible. A visit to this sanctuary allows such unforgettable pleasures as this is the only place in Kenya where you are privileged to see these highly-endangered primates.
