Park & Nairobi Animal Orphanage (Nairobi Safari Walk)
Departs daily at 1400 hours
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 Maasailand 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, geophysically
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.
