Why You Should Include Nairobi National Park in Your Kenya Safari
Most travelers dream of the Masai Mara or Amboseli — but few realize one of Kenya’s greatest safari gems is just minutes from the capital. Nairobi National Park offers a wild experience like no other — and here’s why it deserves a place in your safari plan with Cruzeiro Safaris Kenya.

It’s the Only National Park Inside a Capital City
Nairobi National Park is globally unique — where you can spot lions, rhinos, zebras, and giraffes with a skyline view. It’s the best introduction or conclusion to a longer safari circuit in Kenya.
Perfect for Short Stays and Layovers
Just 7 km from Nairobi’s city center and 20–30 minutes from JKIA Airport, this park is ideal for transit travelers, day visitors, and families with limited time. Book a morning game drive before your next flight.
See Endangered Black Rhinos Easily
Nairobi National Park has one of the most successful rhino sanctuaries in East Africa. Sightings are frequent and close — a highlight for wildlife photographers and conservation travelers.
Diverse Wildlife, Short Distances
You’ll find over 100 mammal species and 400+ bird species in a compact park area, meaning more sightings and less driving. Cruzeiro Safaris guides know the top hotspots and animal behavior patterns.
