Day 1 – Nairobi National Park.
We’ll pick you up for the short journey to the Nairobi National park. Your short wildlife safari is in the comfort of a private pop-top 4×4 Jeep.
Arriving in Nairobi National Park, you’ll quickly see how unique this special reserve is. Within sight of the city’s skyline you can spot lion, rhino, giraffe, buffalo, cheetah, hyena, zebra and much more.
But even though downtown Nairobi is within sight just a few miles away, this is no city zoo or theme park you’re visiting.
This reserve is the real thing – the animals aren’t in cages or behind fences. They are here in the wild, by the thousands. In fact, the annual East Africa migration of wildebeest and zebra moves over the wide-open grassy plains, past acacia bush and through this most unlikely national park.
Nairobi National Park Safari
Just 10km south of the Kenya capital city of Nairobi, the park is Kenya’s oldest (1946) and one of its smallest, but sightings of lions and hyenas are regular. Spending your important holiday time here with Ringo Safaris, you’ll have opportunities to see endangered rhinos, hippos, ostrich and 400 species of birds.
Home To The Kifaru Ark
Kifaru is Kiswahili for rhinoceros and the park supports the largest population of endangered black rhinos in Kenya. Appropriately, the park has earned the nickname Kifaru Ark. As the population of rhinos here continues to grow, the park has become a source of the endangered species, supplying them to other parks around the country.

Nairobi National Park Boasts Many Walking Trails and Shedrick Elephant Orphanage
Unlike many other national parks, the setting here features many walking trails from which to choose. There is a guided walking trail to the hippo pool to view these immense creatures and possibly crocodile as well.
Nairobi National Park Safari
As we follow these trails and wildlife tracks on our safari, we’ll be looking to spot white and black rhino, leopard, lion, cheetah, buffalo and more.
Another special site we’ll visit is the Ivory Burning Monument. Here at this historic spot tons of ivory seized from poachers have been publicly burned to protest the ivory trade and as a commitment to protect the country’s elephants.
