Where To Go In Nairobi National Park

Top spots to visit include the Ivory Burning Site Monument, Hippo Pools, Leopard Cliff, and the Rhinoceros Sanctuary, each offering unique views of wildlife, history, and natural beauty within minutes of the city.

Ivory Burning Site Monument

A powerful symbol of Kenya's anti-poaching efforts, this site marks where tonnes of ivory were burned to show commitment to wildlife conservation.

Nairobi Safari Walk

An elevated boardwalk offering close-up views of native wildlife and a great intro to Kenya’s ecosystems—perfect for families and first-timers.

Animal Orphanage

Located at the park’s main gate, this sanctuary offers a chance to see rescued and rehabilitated animals up close while learning about conservation.

Hippo Pools

A tranquil spot where visitors can take a guided walking trail to view hippos and crocodiles lounging in the river—especially lively in the morning.

Leopard Cliff

A scenic lookout often used as a sundowner spot, with panoramic views over the park and occasional sightings of elusive leopards.

The Ivory Trail Route

This game drive loop winds through some of the park’s best wildlife areas, ideal for spotting lions, giraffes, rhinos, and more.

Mbagathi River

A lifeline for the park’s animals, the river is a great place to see wildlife come to drink, especially during the dry season.

Langata Forest Section

A wooded area within the park, home to bushbucks, baboons, and rich birdlife—less frequented and great for a quieter game drive.

Nairobi Tented Camp

The only lodge located within the park, offering an immersive stay with a real "in-the-bush" feel just minutes from the city.

East Gate Plains

Sweeping savannah where herds of zebra, wildebeest, and elands roam—excellent for classic game-viewing and photography.

Hyena Dam

A watering hole that draws a wide variety of animals and birds, particularly in the dry season—also a top birding spot.

Kingfisher Picnic Site

A peaceful rest stop with picnic facilities and occasional wildlife visitors, perfect for a mid-drive break in nature.

Ngong Hills Viewpoint

Catch a stunning backdrop of the Ngong Hills rising beyond the plains—especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset.

Rhinoceros Sanctuary Zone

A protected area within the park where both black and white rhinos can often be spotted—rare and thrilling for any visitor.

Best Time To Visit Nairobi National Park

The best time to visit Nairobi National Park is during the dry months from July to September and January to February, when wildlife is most visible and game viewing conditions are at their peak.

Nairobi National Park Safari in January

A dry, sunny month that offers excellent wildlife viewing. Vegetation is low, making it easy to spot animals near water sources. Great time for photographers and birders, with migratory species present.

Nairobi National Park Safari in February

Peak dry season and one of the best times for safaris. Wildlife is highly visible, especially around rivers and dams. Expect clear skies, vibrant sunsets, and plenty of predator activity.

Nairobi National Park Safari in March

The long rains begin late in the month. Early March is still good for game drives, but sightings may drop as animals begin to spread out. Expect some afternoon showers and greener landscapes.

Nairobi National Park Safari in April

The wettest month of the year. Wildlife is harder to spot due to tall grasses and thick vegetation. However, it’s quiet, lush, and perfect for those seeking solitude and dramatic scenery.

Nairobi National Park Safari in May

Still part of the rainy season, with fewer visitors and vibrant green landscapes. While game viewing is more challenging, birdlife is abundant and the park feels especially peaceful.

Nairobi National Park Safari in June

Rains ease and conditions improve. The park starts drying out, making wildlife easier to see again. A great transitional month with cooler temperatures and fresh air after the rains.

Nairobi National Park Safari in July

Dry, cool, and ideal for game viewing. Animals gather at water points, and the open terrain offers clear views. It’s also less dusty than later months, making it a favorite for photographers.

Nairobi National Park Safari in August

One of the best months to visit. Game viewing is at its peak, with large mammals and predators frequently seen. The weather is dry and pleasant, and the park is at its most active.

Nairobi National Park Safari in September

Dry conditions continue, with excellent visibility and consistent wildlife sightings. A great time to see rhinos, lions, and large herbivore herds. Warm, sunny days and minimal rain.

Nairobi National Park Safari in October

Short rains may start toward the end of the month, but early October remains excellent for safaris. Wildlife is still active, and the first signs of green return to the landscape.

Nairobi National Park Safari in November

The short rains arrive, bringing fresh greenery and the return of migratory birds. Wildlife is still relatively easy to see, and the park becomes more vibrant, with fewer tourists around.

Nairobi National Park Safari in December

A beautiful month with scattered showers and a lush, green environment. Wildlife is active, birdlife is rich, and the festive season makes it popular for short holiday safaris.
