   Nairobi National Park half-day game drive

   Nairobi National Park

   An early start — your driver-guide collects you from your Nairobi hotel at 6am for the short drive to Nairobi National Park, the only major wildlife park in the world inside a capital city. As the sun rises, you enter through the main gate and spend three hours on game drive across the rolling plains where lion prides, black rhino, giraffe, eland, buffalo, zebra and over 400 bird species live — all with the Nairobi skyline as a surreal backdrop. The park is one of Kenya's best black-rhino sanctuaries and lion encounters in the open grasslands here are among the most photogenic anywhere. Return to your hotel by 11am for a late breakfast, or continue to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage for the public viewing hour at 11am (additional cost).
