    Nairobi National Park

    Located just 10km (6mi) 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. Other animals likely to be spotted include leopards, elands, impala, Masai giraffes, gazelles, zebras, Tanzanian cheetahs, Cape buffaloes, baboons, eastern black rhinos, Coke's hartebeest, hippopotami, ostriches, vultures and water-bucks. 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.

    Sheldrick Wildlife Trust

    The SWT Nursery, located inside Nairobi National Park is where a baby elephant orphan's journey begins — a journey that will culminate, many years down the line, in their reintegration back into the wild. The public visit takes place every day, except 25th December, from 11am to 12 noon. During this time, the team there will be delighted to join you for an unforgettable hour with the Nursery herd. Funds from your visit help support the rescue and rehabilitation of the orphaned elephants in their care.
