What are people saying about Nairobi National Park

Pamela_D, Sep 2023
James was Sweet
We saw lots of beautiful animals at the Nairobi National Park and James was very kind to add the Sheldrick Baby Elephant Sanctuary to our itinerary. Only 4 stars because the vehicle needs new suspension. The roads are very bumpy and the van was very old and uncomfortable. I also wish James shared more information.

Do this one
Amazing experience we’ll work the value. We went out with Steve, he was great - super knowledgeable and a great driver. Do the 6AM option and get your park entrance tickets via eCitizen with Kenya Wildlife Services in advance (Nairobi Park, Main Gate, select No to needing a vehicle, select No to Special Tour, screen shot the ticket) - this will save you SO much time.
