Experience the thrill of a Kenyan safari without leaving the city! Nairobi National Park is the world’s only wildlife park located so close to a capital city, just a short drive from downtown Nairobi. This half-day guided safari is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want to see Kenya’s famous wildlife in its natural habitat.
Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup and quick transfer to the park gate. Once inside, embark on a 4 hour game drive through diverse landscapes — open grass plains, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests — all with the Nairobi skyline as a dramatic backdrop.
Keep your camera ready for sightings of the Big Four (lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhino — elephants live outside the park) as well as giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and over 400 bird species. Your professional safari guide will help spot wildlife and share fascinating insights about the park’s ecosystem.

Lots of Animals!
Our driver was Kelvin and he is the one who made our tour most enjoyable! He was punctual picking us up at our hotel. He was very good at taking us to see the animals in the park and very knowledgeable. He found perfect locations to see them easily…not from far away. We saw Rhinos, Hippos, Baboons, Giraffes, Impalas, Rock Hyrax, Zebras, Ostriches, Crocodile and a female lion! And many different types of birds! Highly recommend this tour!

Smooth operation, lovely driver.
Exceptional Last-Minute Tour – Ask for Peter!
I had a fantastic half-day tour of Nairobi National Park with Nivlek Tours. I booked late the night before to cap off a business conference, and they accommodated the short notice seamlessly with a fast, punctual pickup.
My driver, Peter, was outstanding throughout the drive. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and an exceptionally competent driver, navigating the off-road park terrain with absolute ease.
One quick note for future travelers: after the safari, there is a stop at a souvenir shop. It feels a bit like a tourist trap, complete with live music and performers. Because I was short on time before my flight, I didn't haggle and ended up paying a bit more than intended—assuming the shop's higher prices supported the local performers. While I didn't mind paying a slight premium given my schedule, I'd definitely recommend future guests negotiate the prices or look for souvenirs elsewhere if you have time.
Overall, this is the ultimate way to wrap up a business trip. Highly recommended!

Cool Experience
It was a good experience. The pick up was a little tricky but they called and explained themselves and it made sense. The sent an uber because of traffic and wanting to start the tour on time, so that was a good way of handling it. But the tour guide George did a good job making sure that we got to see much animals as possible

Great day out 😀
We had a great day, seen most animals that hoped too.
Kelvin was very polite and knowledgeable, we would highly recommend and will use him again.
Just be aware for the early morning pickup, it can be quite cool in the park, so be prepared.
