The experience
The tour picks you up from your hotel at 6am and drives toward the Nairobi National Park main gate. Once inside, the game drive spans about five hours across wide grass plains dotted with acacia bush, where the park's boundaries frame a view of the Maasai wilderness. The endangered black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes and giraffes roam here, along with diverse birdlife. Your guide narrates the wildlife and behavior you encounter as the African sun rises across the savannah.
The park sits a short drive from Nairobi's central business district, so you're not traveling far to reach it. The vehicle is air-conditioned and bottled water is provided throughout the drive. After the game drive ends, you're driven back to your hotel for dropoff, completing the full excursion in a single morning.
Is this one for you?Book this if you prefer watching wildlife from a vehicle with a guide rather than driving yourself, and you want to start at 6am when animals are most active at sunrise.
