Search for wildlife on a game drive through Nairobi National Park, where open grassland and waterholes lie close to Kenya’s capital. Look out for animals across the plains, including the possibility of spotting a white rhino.

The park’s striking feature is the contrast between wildlife habitat and Nairobi’s skyline. It offers a distinctly urban safari setting, with city buildings visible beyond stretches of protected grassland.

The reserve is known for the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras. Sightings depend on the season and the movement of wild animals, making every drive a chance to observe the savannah on its own terms.

Explore Amboseli National Park on afternoon and morning game drives, watching for its well-known elephant herds and other wildlife. Bring your camera for the possibility of seeing animals against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Amboseli’s open terrain makes its wildlife and distant mountain views a distinctive photographic combination. The summit’s visibility depends on the weather, while each drive brings fresh opportunities to observe animals moving through the park.

Visit a village near the Maasai Mara with a Maasai warrior as your guide. This optional experience offers an opportunity to learn about the people whose homeland is closely associated with the reserve’s grasslands.
