Nairobi Safari Walk

About

Nairobi Safari Walk is a wildlife sanctuary inside Nairobi National Park, showcasing rescued and rehabilitated Kenyan animals. Wooden boardwalks wind past lions, rhinos, cheetahs, and hippos at surprisingly close range. Perfect for families, first-time visitors, or anyone short on time but hungry for wildlife.

Nairobi Safari Walk sits within the grounds of Nairobi National Park, run by the Kenya Wildlife Service. It houses animals rescued from the wild or born in captivity, giving visitors rare up-close access. Elevated wooden boardwalks guide you through distinct habitat zones. You pass wetlands, savannah, and forest environments within a single visit. Lions pace nearby, ostriches strut past, and white rhinos graze at a comfortable distance. The air carries birdsong and the earthy smell of open grassland. Sessions typically take one to two hours, making it easy to plan around. Children respond especially well to the proximity of the animals. It also works well as a warm-up before a full game drive in the national park next door. Buy tickets at the main KWS gate on Langata Road and arrive early for the quietest experience.
