Having been to Kenya ,do not opt to miss out on Nairobi National Park . If you find the urge for a wildlife safari experience irresistible, you can always squeeze a visit to the Nairobi National Park into city break itinerary. Located on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital, the national park can be easily visited as a half day excursion from Nairobi proper. Due to the proximity from the city, Nairobi’s high-rises are often in the backdrop of the lion or zebra shot you will be taking. Don’t be surprised, in a way, its unique.
Best city safari: Nairobi National Park is a 117sq km reserve on the city's edge, about 7km from the CBD; imagine giraffes in the foreground of your pictures and high-rise buildings as backdrop. Touted as "the only protected area in the world close to a capital city", the park makes a good prelude to a proper safari into the Masai Mara.
Its residents include lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos and buffaloes, plus myriad varieties of antelopes and hundreds of species of birds (no elephants, sadly). The park is an important breeding facility for endangered black rhinos and also features a Nairobi Safari Walk for up-close viewing, an animal orphanage and Ranger's Restaurant, a big, airy eatery with the bonus of animal sightings in the surrounding bush.

Tour Overview
Nairobi, as a capital city, is unique in having a wildlife park on its doorstep. Indeed the city abuts the Nairobi National Park on all but the southern perimeter so it is possible to photograph a rhino, browsing peace fully among the whistling thorn with high-rise office buildings in the backdrop. Some of the wildlife is migratory and when vegetation and water are present outside the park, they move out into Maasai land through the unfenced southern boundary. There is also a resident population of plains game and predators so a visit at any time of the year is a rewarding experience. Well laid out, with exceptionally well-maintained roads, the park is a model for all others, geophysical and administratively. Of the most popular species only the elephant is an absentee. But the rest of the Big Five: leopard, lion, buffalo and rhino - as well as a multitude of other creatures are all well represented.
