Nairobi
National Park Night Game Drives (2.5 Hours)
Nairobi National
Park Night Game Drives are a more
exciting way to spend a night in Nairobi.
Nairobi National Park is completely different
in the dark. The big cats come out to hunt
and you will see animals you won't see during
the day. It’s a completely different
world. Lions sleep all day and hunt in the
evening, most of the cats are active just
before and after sunset and this is when
we take our guests on night game drives.
With a spotter and a light we look and listen
for the animals, it’s an amazing experience.
Animal behavior is quite different at night
so observing the animals in the dark is
a big part of any safari.

250 US Dollars

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 Masai
land 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, geophysical
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.
