Visit: Shoor Safaris Kenya, Nairobi 00606 Kenya

Your English-speaking Driver-Guide will report to your hotel's reception desk at 6.10 am following which you will then be driven to Nairobi National Park in a Safari Tour Micro bus. This transfer could take anything from 20 minutes to 45 min depending on how far your hotel is from the park and also on the traffic conditions at the time.

Upon arrival at the park, your Driver-Guide will obtain your entry ticket after which he will open the game viewing roof of the vehicle following which you will be driven into the park to start your Safari tour. Enjoy the scenic forest and open grassland landscapes of the park as your Driver Guide searches for some of the animals in the park during the game drive. This exciting 'mini' Safari gives you the chance of seeing animals ranging from Lions and Rhino to Buffalo, Giraffe and Zebra and much more wildlife as well as over 200 Bird species. The park is also quite scenic and is set against the backdrop of the Nairobi city skyline.

The game drive will be conducted by driving slowly around the park on its unpaved gravel roads and tracks. Once an animal of interest is spotted, the vehicle will stop briefly giving you enough time to see the wildlife or attraction.
