Nairobi National park adventure is a unique treat for any guest keen on experiencing a taste of Kenya's wildlife and natural resource.The park is located just 10 km from Nairobi,thus qualifying as the only park in the world situated amidst a capital city. It is the oldest national park in Kenya established in 1964 and covers an area of 117 sq km. The park is fiercely beautiful consisting areas of savanna grasslands, forests, cliffs,valleys and wetlands. It is a haven for both wildlife and bird life and has different types of trees and bushes. Visitors can easily see grazing herbivores such as Zebras, Eland, Buffaloes, Gazelles, Rhinos and other mammalian species. Carnivores found here includes Lions, Hyenas, Cheetah, Jackals and the Leopard. Bird watching is relatively easy from the park's undisturbed grasslands, forests and wetlands. Visitors have a unique experience watching and photographing animals against a backdrop of city buildings.

Benson made our short stay in Nairobi unforgettable. He was incredibly kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to ensure we saw every animal and answered all of our questions. He was always on time and had a great attitude. I would recommend Benson to anyone!
Easy to contact, perfectly on time and friendly. Great value for price, would book again. Thank you team!
My friend and I spent a good 6 hours with Benson on a private tour and it was the most wonderful part of our trip to Kenya. We booked the dawn tour and it gave us a few hours of slightly cooler weather but also the chance to see more animals. We were soooo impressed with Benson's vast knowledge of the animals, the bird identification skills, the depth of information he knew about habitat, behaviour, and the environment. He gave us such thorough answers to any questions we asked, as well as seeking out and spotting things we would definitely have missed of we had gone alone. He had a very impressive ability to find spots other drivers hadn't and make sure we had excellent views. We felt so safe in the vehicle and he navigated all the features of the park expertly. What we saw - lions (including mating lions), 13 rhino, buffalo, baboon, crocodile, hippo, countless ostrich, giraffe and zebra, rock hyrax, Thompsons gazelle, impala, hartebeast, reedbuck, marabou storks, vultures, monitor lizard, various types of ibis and egrets, guinea fowl, openbill, numerous birds of prey, cuckoo, and so many other stunning birds. We would not hesitate to recommend Benson and would encourage everyone to book with him. The value he brings is priceless and he was in regular contact with hos network of guides to make sure we didnt miss anything. Thank you Benson!!!
Booked this at a spur of the moment and we were very pleased! We saw so many animals, birds and crocodile and alligators! Our guide was Dickson with Benson Kungu as the tour operator. They did not disappoint. FYI you must also pay the national park fee.
For prescriptive purposes, I take frequent solo trips, but this particular visit was made while on a transition flight. I have never had a very thorough and professional guide; he tracked my flight and was already waiting for me at the pickup point for the tour to take me to the national park. Mr Benson is very knowledgeable about the park's history and educates visitors about the different animals in the park. If I visit Kenya again, I will be very happy to tour with this company again.
As a solo female traveller and first-time visitor to Kenya, I was looking for a safe and reliable safari experience. Mr. Benson was punctual, respectful, knowledgeable, and, importantly, fun to be around! I took the safari on my own and it was the best decision. Mr. Benson adapted to my needs and preferences, sharing knowledge, stopping whenever and for as long as I wanted, and joining me in moments of silence and contemplation. His driving was very safe and professional. At the park, I saw all the animals there were to see. I’m talking about 15 rhinos, 30+ zebras, 10+ giraffes, lionesses and their cubs, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, and gorgeous birds (non-exhaustive list!). I added two photos only not to spoil it. Unforgettable experience! I highly recommend him. And I advise you to book the morning safari like I did.
We truly enjoyed this experience. Dickson came to pick us up early, helped us purchase an entrance ticket to the park, and from the very beginning, made sure we saw lions, impalas, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, crocs, and many types of birds. While the park is close to the city, you really feel like you're in the savannah, with beautiful flora and landscapes. We paid a little more but had the van to ourselves, which meant we didn't have to drive around picking up other tourists and were among the first at the park gates (you have to be early). It was my very first safari, and it was incredible. What a day!
amazing experience with our driver and guide Benson. Saw so much! Truly worth every penny. We saw rhinos, zebras, giraffes, and antelopes. It's a mini safari experience.
I booked this trip the night before, with a request for 2 different pick up locations; Nairobi airport and a hotel. Also, due to working appointments, we wanted the trip to be within a specific timeline. Neither of these requests were an issue, we were picked up in time and returned to the hotel as agreed. We had an excellent trip and we spotted many animals, 3 out of the big 4, as well as hippos, crocodiles, fish eagles, maraboes and many many more. We had a pleasant break from our working day and would definetely advise to book with Benson Kungu's jungleman!
The morning game drive at Nairobi National Park was absolutely magical! We entered the park just as the first light of day touched the horizon, with the city skyline fading into the distance and the savannah awakening all around us. The contrast of skyscrapers in the background and giraffes grazing in the golden morning light was surreal. Our guide’s sharp eyes spotted many animals, rhinos, lions, giraffes and countless zebras. This morning safari was the perfect start to the day – peaceful, exciting, and unforgettable. I would recommend Benson as a guide to anyone visiting Nairobi!
