description: "Where can you see a rhino next to a skyscraper? This isn’t a complicated riddle, but an invitation to one of the most spectacular city parks you may ever visit. Just a short drive from the centre of Nairobi lies Nairobi National Park. Inaugurated in 1946, it’s the oldest national park in the country and teems with wildlife at the edge of the metropolis. With the cityscape still very much visible as you traverse the park, you can see a whole host of animals you’d expect in such proximity to humans. Feast your eyes on: Lion Giraffe Rhino Ostrich Hyena Along with more than 400 species of bird that have been identified here. Vistas of yellow grasses punctuated by tower blocks and housing before you spot the sky give you a unique perspective on this Kenyan safari. The acacia trees you recognise share a landscape with the office and accommodation blocks you wouldn’t expect to see with buffalo somewhere in between. Join your guide in your dedicated safari vehicle that will take you around the best bits of the park. Trust them to locate the animals you’re hoping to see and learn about the development of this special environment. This short Kenyan safari is perfect for those who are staying long-term in Nairobi and want a well-spent weekend. Land in the morning and have half a day before your full safari adventure starts? Add this extra, half-day trip to your itinerary."

## Itinerary

### 1. Nairobi - Nairobi National Park

Choose whether you’d like to see Nairobi National Park in the early morning, as the animals graze and energise themselves for the day, or the afternoon when the lions are playful and the shade is sought. Your half-day tour of the park can begin at 6am or 2.30pm. Pick-up can be from any point in Nairobi – your hotel, residence, offices, or one of the airports, and we will head straight to the park. Spend your day with an expert guide who can help you track the animals you want to see and identify the ones you find on the way. We know where you can get the best photographs with cityscapes and indigenous animals in one amazing shot. You will have chance to frame your photos and spot perfect opportunities for selfies and landscape views. Along with four of the big five – no elephants here, sadly – you can witness: Antelope Gazelles Warthogs Cheetah And plenty more. Your game drive is in your hands with your private safari vehicle and guide. Choose the animals you want to find and the landscapes you want to witness to get the perfect half-day excursion from the bustle of the city. Once your appetite for wildlife and adventure is sated, you can request your driver finish your tour at your convenience with the city of Nairobi.
