Full description

Nairobi National Park is Kenya's first ever national park, and is a unique and unspoiled wildlife haven. Rhinos, buffaloes, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, lions and plenty of antelopes and gazelles can be seen roaming in the open plains. On this 6-hour program you’ll see sections of highland forest, as well as stretches of broken bush country and the deep, rocky valleys and gorges make up the rest of the park. Ornithologists are also in for a treat with over 300 bird species in the park. The population includes the secretary bird, crowned cranes, vultures, peckers and others.

Early morning game drive we saw Buffalos by the roadside,a few Giraffes,Black Backed Jackals,one Secretary Bird,a few Vultures. Highlights for me were one Black Rhino and a Lion pride with cubs along the road. There were five Crocodiles in the pond on the way out. Prompt pickup from our accommodation,friendly driver Tito,a good morning's outing to Nairobi National Park.

Transportation arrived more than 30 minutes late and we spent a lot of time on the road trying to find the addresses Of the people to be picked up. The car was very old, but the rooftop opened so it was good. The guide (Alex) made sure that we see all the major animals communicating constantly with other drivers. So after a bad start, we were happy at the end.
