It’s probably the most unique national park in Kenya and in the entire world. Where else can you spot lions, rhinos, buffalo, and giraffes just minutes from a national capital city? Only 7 km (4 mi) from the heart of downtown, Nairobi National Park is a wonder of wildlife in a grassland setting but framed by the skyscrapers of bustling Nairobi in the background.
It’s Kenya’s first national park and so accessible that you can take a 1 or even ½ day trip there, see more wildlife than most places in the world, and be back in town for dinner (or to see more of Nairobi’s attractions).

Wildlife of Nairobi National Park | What to see In Nairobi National Park | Attractions and Activities In Nairobi National Park.
Within view of airliners coming in on their final approach, it is possible to spot 4 of Africa’s “Big Five”, plus cheetah, leopard, gazelle, hyena, impala, zebra, and ostrich all in the wild.

Birdlife in the Nairobi National park is plentiful – especially in the wetlands with over 400 species amidst pods of hippos.

The park also features the highest density of black rhinos in Kenya as it functions as a rhino sanctuary. In fact, the park has been nicknamed “Kifaru Ark” – kifaru is Kiswahili for rhinoceros.

It is not unusual to see the locals enjoying their nearby park, and it’s a regular stop for Nairobi schoolchildren on class trips.

You too can easily partake in the numerous hiking trails, picnic spots, and even campsites in this unusual refuge so close to the city.

And there are some very special reserves within the park that you won’t want to miss. At the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, baby elephants and rhino calves are rescued and cared for. Feeding times here are always an exciting and joyful event for man and baby animals alike.

Here too, in this refuge just minutes from a world capital, you can witness the annual wildebeest and zebra migration – an astonishing juxtaposition of modern man and the eternal rhythms of nature.

About Nairobi National Park
The Nairobi National Park is only about 30,000 acres or 117 sq. km (45 sq. miles), one of the smallest of Africa’s parks. But the great amount of wildlife here is surprising considering its proximity to a major city.

Nairobi National Park Location:
Nairobi National Park is just 7 km south of Nairobi, it’s a quick getaway from the capital city.

Nairobi National Park Climate:
The park is generally dry except during the rainy season. The average daytime temperature is 22oC/72oF.

When to go to Nairobi National Park:
The Nairobi National Park is open year-round and always accessible. Visitors must enter the Nairobi National Park in a vehicle.

Best time to visit Nairobi National Park:
The best wildlife viewing is during the dry season (July – March). The rainy season (April – June) presents some difficulties on wet roads.

Operating Hours for Nairobi National Park:

Things to do and see In Kenya/Nairobi National Park

Wildebeest & Zebra Migration
This massive annual migration occurs from July to October when thousands of animals are on the move, searching for water and sustenance. The best times to view this incredible event are July and August.

Endangered Black Rhinos
The park is known as a valuable sanctuary for these endangered creatures. The breeding program has been so successful they supply black rhinos to other national parks.

Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage
This sanctuary rescues injured and orphaned baby elephants. Its experienced handlers nurture the babies back to physical and emotional health and eventually release them back into the wild.

A One-Day Nairobi National Park Tour Just Minutes from your city hotel and Nairobi Airport

Starting from/returning to Nairobi city area hotels /Nairobi Airport.

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 lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffalo, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, 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.

Just 10km south of Kenya's 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 Natural World Kenya 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
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 crocodiles as well.

As we follow these trails and wildlife tracks on our safari, we’ll be looking to spot white and black rhinos, leopards, lions, cheetahs, 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.

Your Choice of a Morning or Afternoon  Tour
This half-day Nairobi national park group tour is approximately 5 hours, and you have a choice of a morning or afternoon excursion.

  • The morning tour starts at 07:00 am and ends at 12:00 pm.

Masai Mara National Reserve is situated in the southwest of Kenya, covering an area of 1,510 square km (583 square miles), the Masai Mara National Reserve is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife, and endless plains.

The quintessential Masai Mara National Reserve safari delivers many attractions, as the reserve is home to an excellent year-round concentration of game, including the more than two million wildebeest, zebras, and other antelopes that make up the famous Great Migration.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is a photographer’s and naturalist’s paradise, with abundant elephants, buffalo, giraffes, lions, and cheetahs alongside the migratory wildebeest and zebra. Leopards are frequently encountered, endangered black rhinos hide in the dense thickets, and large rafts of hippos and enormous crocodiles are found in the Mara River. The Masai Mara National Reserve is also home to over 450 bird species.

The Masai Mara is renowned for its abundance and variety of larger plains species as well as the variety of predator species.  It is considered the only place left in Kenya which resembles the wildlife population today from what it once was.  Although there is an abundance, the wildlife is declining and thankfully the preserve is there to protect it.  It is one of Africa's most coveted wildlife-viewing destinations.

Popular wildlife that might be seen in the Masai Mara include hippo, giraffe, waterbuck, reedbuck, roan antelope, warthog, eland, topi, gazelle, zebra, baboon, crocodile, various species of monkeys, and black rhino.  Except for the mountain gorilla, all of Africa’s Big 7 can be part of your wildlife sightings.  The Mara is home to the largest collection of lions in Kenya.

Predator species are almost always atop travelers' wildlife viewing wishlists.  The good news is that Mara has them.  Lion, leopard, cheetah, jackal, hyena, and various species of mongoose are all found throughout the park.

The Masai Mara is a portion of the larger Mara Ecosystem which combines the Koiyaki, Lemek, Ol Chorro Oirowua, Olkinyei, Siana, Maji Moto, Naikara, Ol Derkesi, Kerinkani, Oloirien, and Kimintet protective ranches.  All of these efforts work together recognizing the significance of protecting the wilderness and wildlife that live in the region.

Although the plains and wooded areas are beautiful, the wildlife is the reason travelers visit Masai Mara.  Most people target the months between July and October with hopes of experiencing the wildebeest migration through the park.

There are plenty of opportunities for historical and cultural experiences as well.  You can visit Masai villages and cultural centers which will all expose you to the culture of the Masai people.  You might become better at jumping if you pay close attention.

WELCOME TO MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
Masai Mara National Reserve is located in southwest Kenya and is a vast scenic expanse of gently rolling African savannah plains measuring 1510 square kilometers in area and bordering the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the south. Masai Mara is a unique wildlife conservation haven, famous for its spectacular natural diversity of wildlife and is a premier Kenya Safari location in East Africa, offering visitors numerous reasons to visit this animal paradise. Large numbers of Lions, Cheetah, Elephant, Rhino, African Buffalo, Wildebeest, Giraffe, Zebras, and many more animals are found in the park in their natural habitat, unconfined and free to roam the vast wilderness stretching for miles on end.

It is no surprise then that tourists from the world over travel here to experience a Masai Mara Safari tour, more so as the reserve has been voted one of the new Seven Wonders of the World. Regarding the origin of the name, the word 'Masai' comes from the Maasai tribe, nomadic inhabitants of the area and the word 'Mara' is their word for 'spotted', referring to the ubiquitous flat-topped acacia trees, shrubs, and bushes that dot the landscape across most of the reserve.

Masai Mara now also comprises a number of conservancies and group ranches bordering the main reserve and is home to some of the most diverse species of African wildlife and is also the site of the annual Wildebeest migration, simply called the 'Great Migration'. Masai Mara National Park is famous for this migration, when large herds of a million plus wildebeest, zebra, and other animals including the Big Cats migrate north into the Mara from Serengeti National Park. The migration typically takes place between July to mid-September and involves the wildebeest making dangerous crossings through crocodile-infested rivers.

The 'Mara', as Masai Mara is also known, is among the best wildlife reserves not just in Kenya but also in Africa, and the aim of this website Ultimate Wild Safaris to offer comprehensive information to guide visitors and tourists in planning their visit or for booking a Safari in Masai Mara, suited to their preference. Travelers are expected to have numerous questions while planning their visit, everything from which is the best month to visit, to which is the better reserve, Serengeti or Masai Mara, or even information on how to book a trip to this magnificent reserve. We aim to answer most if not all your questions through this platform.

In case you require any information, guidance, or suggestions regarding a visit or to plan a Kenya Safari to Masai Mara, Africa's premium Game Reserve, do get in touch with us via email. We are also available on Chat or on Skype.

THINGS TO DO IN MASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE | MASAI MARA PEOPLE AND WILDLIFE SAFARI TOURS
There are several exciting activities one can enjoy in Masai Mara. The most thrilling of these has to be the Hot Air Balloon safari, taken at the break of dawn and ending with a leisurely 'Champagne Bush Breakfast'. This is a truly unique adventure activity and the Mara provides the perfect backdrop for the amazing balloon excursion. The flight lasts for about an hour as you glide gracefully over the African savannah watching the magnificent wildlife below. The pilots are highly experienced and the activity boasts of an exceptional safety record. Another popular experience is visiting a traditional tribal Maasai village which allows visitors a fascinating insight into the unique way of life of the famous Maasai, a nomadic warrior tribe found in Kenya and parts of East Africa. There are also nature walks, bush meals, and sundowners as some of the other popular things to do in Masai Mara as a tourist visiting this reserve.

The reserve has a magnificent collection of wildlife and it is quite possible to spot not just the 'Big Five' as often mentioned widely, but also in fact the 'Big Nine', including the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Cheetah and Hippo. It is quite possible that due to the nature and richness of flora and fauna in the national park, one can see all of the above animals not just in a single 2-3 hour game drive, but also with a little more luck, within an hour of your drive in the reserve. The section above lists photos and brief information on some of the amazing wildlife and animals that you will find in Masai Mara including a list of Birds commonly seen here. The game reserve is quite the animal kingdom and likely the very best place to see an amazing ecosystem of African wildlife in the wilderness.

AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK  Vegetation
Amboseli covers open plains, swamps, and the lower volcanic slopes of Kilimanjaro. Part of Amboseli consists of the dried-up Amboseli Lake, where marriages dance above the arid ground in the heat. Underground water from snow-capped Kilimanjaro feeds the springs and swamps of Amboseli, attracting wildlife and birds, particularly in dry seasons. The open grasslands and sparse vegetation in this low-rainfall wilderness area improve visibility on game drives resulting in more wildlife and bird sightings.

WELCOME TO THE LAKE NAIVASHA AREA
Deep blue lakes, rich acacia forests, extinct volcanoes, waterfalls, imposing towers, and bottomless gorges – you’ll be amazed at the variety and drama of the parks, lakes, and preserves surrounding Lake Naivasha.

Here the birdlife is full, varied, and constant as is the parade of wildlife with over 100 species of hunters and grazers.

As befitting such a variety of landforms, you’ll find more types of safaris here than anywhere else on earth…each one allowing you to enjoy a different aspect of the wildlife! Take a water safari to get close to the birdlife, then hike, bike, or even horseback ride past zebra, giraffe, and antelope. The possibilities, like the wildlife, are endless.

The Lake Naivasha Area is a constant gift of surprise, color, and nature’s bounty. You’ll find plenty for everyone here.

The parks, preserves, lakes, and attractions described below are all a short drive from each other.

About Lake Naivasha Park
This high-altitude, freshwater lake with its sterling blue waters hosts hippo and much other aquatic life. You can take a water safari and enjoy the rich birdlife of cormorants and pelicans while zebra and antelope graze nearby on the shore.

The area is characterized by plentiful acacia trees and flower farms awash with roses and carnations.

The lake also serves as a life-giving watering hole for buffalo, eland, impala, and waterbuck so be ready for lots of active game viewing. And it’s not impossible to come upon a leopard during a game drive.

The most famous personality of the area was Joy Adamson, naturalist, and author of “Born Free”, who lived here on the lake’s shores. Her experiences raising the lion cub, Elsa, became an international bestseller and award-winning movie.

Things to do in Lake Naivasha
From Lake Naivasha, it’s an easy drive or you can even walk to other activities.

1. Horseback Riding Safari At Lake Naivasha
What better way to view and get up close to the wildlife than to be astride an animal yourself! In the Naivasha area at Sanctuary Farm, you can take the most unique type of safari – a guided day tour on horseback.
The land here is heavy with acacia trees and you’ll traverse this rich forest coming upon giraffes, wildebeest, impala, zebra, gazelle, dik-dik, and buffalo.

Your horse is familiar with this territory and the animals so it will let you ride up close to the wildlife. And since you are astride the horse, you are in a sense “camouflaged” – appearing to be as one with your ride. You can’t experience the wildlife any closer than this.

Whether you’re a novice or an advanced rider, your horseback safari will be tailored to your experience level. What an unforgettable way to enjoy the wildlife of Naivasha!

2. Crescent Island Game Sanctuary At Lake Naivasha
From Sanctuary Farm you can walk across a nearby causeway to this privately-owned game sanctuary. Crescent Island is a small gem of a park and not overly visited as some others are.
You can take an easy stroll and picnic alongside the rich birdlife and gently grazing wildlife. Or, enjoy a guided walking safari observing pelicans and cormorants along the shore.
You’ll also find buffalo, zebra, giraffe, impala, gazelle, and many others. In fact, there are more animals per acre here than in any other Kenyan Park.

The area is not fenced, so the animals are free to move between the sanctuary and the mainland as groups of buffalo are inclined to do.

For a perfect finish to your day, go to the top of the hill here with its 360o views including Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate Park. As the gold of sunset approaches washing over the grazing animals, you’ll treasure a perfect Africa moment.

3. Hell’s Gate National Park At Lake Naivasha
Also, a quick jaunt away is the dramatic cliffs, canyons, and unearthly steam vents of Hell’s Gate National Park. You’ll find many opportunities for hiking and even bicycling past the impala, eland, gazelle, baboon, and buffalo inhabiting the park.

Great columns of steam billow up from the springs and geysers here, and you can take a dip in Africa’s largest natural mineral pool.

Very large predators are quite rare, so the park is safe and family-friendly with its many guided trails. You’ll have opportunities to view the rare bearded vulture and Verreaux’s eagle up close.

And if climbing is your thing, the volcanic cones of Fisher’s and Central tower are fun and accessible climbs.

Finally, at Hell’s Gate Gorge view the rock formation that was the inspiration behind ‘Pride Rock’ from the movie, “The Lion King”. Learn more about Hell’s Gate National Park.

4. Crater Lake Game Sanctuary At Lake Naivasha
True to its name, Crater Lake is a small but stunning jade-colored volcanic lake. From this center, the sanctuary extends with many hiking trails including one along the crater rim.

There are easily over 20 scenic vistas along this impressive crater walk. From this vantage point, you can take in the 150 species of birds of the sanctuary and larger species like giraffe, zebra and elusive leopard, and aardvark.

The park is adorned with small groves of acacia trees adding to the magical feeling here.

The lake conjures up an almost mystical respect amongst the local Maasai people who believe its waters help heal their ailing cattle.

5. Mount Longonot National Park At Lake Naivasha
Ever climb a volcano? Here you can enjoy fabulous views along the way. Mount Longonot (2776 m /9107 ft.) is an extinct volcano that last erupted in the 1860s. Mt. Longonot National Park was created to protect the volcano and its environs. The word ‘Longonot’ comes from the Maasai name Olo Nongot which means ‘Mountain of Many Summits.’

You can hike to the crater rim on a 3.1 km (1.9 mi) trail that starts at the park entrance. It should take about 2 hours. Should you desire to hike around the crater there is a 7.2 km (4.5 m) loop that is a bit challenging.

At the crater’s rim, you’ll be rewarded with views of the 3 km (1.8 m) wide crater and a forest covering the crater floor. There is still some geothermal activity occurring on this volcano that formed 400,000 years ago. Look for small steam vents along the walls of the crater.

This volcano and forest are home to zebra, giraffe, gazelle, buffalo, and hartebeest. And occasionally a leopard has been spotted.

Looking beyond the crater affords wonderful views of the Rift Valley and Lake Naivasha.

6. Lake Nakuru National Park At Lake Naivasha
Close to Lake Naivasha is one of Kenya’s most colorful reserves – Lake Nakuru National Park. Bright pink flamingoes abound here, sometimes in the millions, while endangered rhinos wallow amongst the birds, presenting a pictorial paradise.

As if to compete for the best spectacle, the land shows itself off with immense rocky escarpments, dense acacia forests, wooded hills, and unexpected waterfalls.

You’ll find other birdlife here with an abundance of pelicans, cormorants, kingfishers, ostrich, and storks as well as herons and eagles.

The endangered and rare Rothschild’s giraffe is protected in the park and you’ll also be on the watch for lion, leopard, cheetah, and the entertaining baboon, vervet, and colobus monkeys.

Be sure to visit the park’s several viewpoints where you’ll be greeted with vistas of the Rift Valley. Lion Hill, Out of Africa Lookout and Baboon Cliff are favorites. We have created a page dedicated to this park, make sure to find out more about Lake Nakuru.

This 10 Days 9 Nights Kenya Culture Tribal Tour and wildlife safari at Samburu national reserve offers an opportunity to tour the isolated northern Kenya that is combined with authentic Kenya culture and wildlife.

Kenya is best known for its incredible national parks and rich fauna, regarded as East Africa’s tourism hotspot, and you’d be forgiven for thinking there’s nothing left to discover here. Step away from the better-known sites though and Kenya opens up to a wealth of ethnic diversity and traditional tribal groups, very different from the contrived Maasai experiences that one might encounter on a typical safari.

Towards the remote and austere northern borders, through forbidding deserts and isolated oases, with amazing tribes like the Samburu tribe tour in the Samburu national reserve tour, Gambra tribe in the Chalbi desert, Rendile tribe tour, ElMolo tribe tour, and Turkana tribe tour at lake Turkana, a world away from the luxury lodges and bright lights of Nairobi, both in geography and culture.

On this 10 Days 9 Nights Kenya Culture Tribal Tour and wildlife safari at Samburu national reserve, you are going to explore an area that is known as the ‘cradle of mankind, home to some of the humans’ earliest origins, and traveling here is like stepping back in time – little has changed here for generations.

This is a wild and untamed land; home to warriors, herders, and nomads, and traveling here is a journey you’re unlikely to forget.

Kenya is renowned for its wealth of wildlife, the sweeping plains of the Maasai Mara, and its white-sand beaches. But look beyond these stereotypes, glorious though they are, and one can find a diverse kaleidoscope of ethnicities and tribal groups, far removed from the tourist trail and virtually unchanged for generations.

On this expedition we head north from the capital into the tribal heartlands that stretch towards the borders with South Sudan and Ethiopia, taking challenging routes and driving through remote areas to meet some of Africa’s most traditional groups.

In the harsh lands of the Kaisut Desert, we meet the Samburu and Rendille people, pastoralists who compensate for their austere surroundings with stunning body decorations and enormous beaded necklaces. Pushing further north we drive the ‘Jade Sea’, the vast waters of Lake Turkana – one of East Africa’s most remote regions.

Here we meet the Turkana people, proud warrior people who held out against colonial domination until the 1950s, and who still retain fierce independence from the central government.

Pushing on into the Chalbi Desert we head for the oasis of Kalacha, a center for the Gabbra people, camel herding nomads who eke an existence from this unforgiving land. This is a trip through some of East Africa’s most isolated regions – you can expect some full days of driving on rough and non-existent roads to reach these communities, and at times it may be challenging for some that need a high degree of flexibility and calmness.

The rewards however are great – to meet proud warriors and nomadic communities following in the steps of their ancestors, with little influence from the modern world, masters of their own lands yet welcoming to visitors.

This is Kenya with a twist, and unlike you have seen it before and this 10 Days 9 Nights Kenya Culture Tribal Tour and wildlife safari at Samburu national reserve will take you to over 6 tribes in northern Kenya like the Gabbra tribe, Turkana tribe, Samburu tribe, Rendille tribe, and El Molo tribe “If you’re a fan of tribal expect the best.”
