Well, welcome to the only national park in the world within a city.

Nairobi National Park

Imagine leaving your Nairobi hotel and in minutes, you’re at the edge of the city, deep in the

savannah, on your private safari at Nairobi National Park. You’ll be on the lookout for buffalo,

zebra, giraffe, ostrich, hyena and of course the big cats.

Nairobi Safari walk

Characterized by three simulated major ecosystems ,namely, wetland, savannah and forest, the Safari Walk is the closest you can get to the wild. The raised wooden boardwalk that snakes around the ecosystem allows for uninterrupted views of the animals, the varied wildlife habitats. Visitors can discover the flora and fauna they expect to see across the country at the Nairobi Safari walk. They can sample the menu of the country’s rich fauna and flora including the white rhino, Big cats, Crocodiles, Pigmy Hippo, antelopes and primates. It is also home to some 150 indigenous trees.

Other than game viewing, the facility is also a conservation education hub for schools, higher learning institutions and the general public. Conservation education conducted here is in an effort to foster and rally Kenyans and the public at large to take part and contribute in conservation of our wildlife heritage for the present and future generations and for the world.

David Sheldrick elephant orphanage

This is the most unique animal care center in the world. Where you see dozens of baby elephants being fed from giant milk bottles right before you and after the feeding, watch the elephant babies roll about in the mud, playing like young children. This world renowned sanctuary rescues orphaned elephants throughout Africa and hand raises them with expertise and love.

The Sheldrick Family has been taking in and caring for these orphaned babies for over

forty years. Over 200 have now been rescued and you can experience up close the

expressions of compassion and caring in this very special place.

Here at the Giraffe Centre, you can climb up the feeding tower and hand feed a food pellet
