A 1 Day Nairobi National Park and City Tour Package is the perfect blend of wildlife adventure and cultural exploration, all within a single day. The tour lets you enjoy an authentic safari experience just minutes from the city, followed by visits to Nairobi’s top attractions such as museums, markets, and historic sites. Many travelers planning this day trip often ask about costs, inclusions, and what to expect. To help you prepare, we’ve answered the most common questions about a 1 Day Nairobi National Park and City Tour Package:
Yes, this tour is absolutely worth it because it allows you to experience both wildlife and the city’s cultural highlights in one day. Nairobi National Park is unique as it’s the only national park located within a capital city, where you can spot lions, rhinos, giraffes, and buffalo against a backdrop of skyscrapers. After the safari, the city tour gives you a chance to explore attractions such as the Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum, Bomas of Kenya, or local markets, making it a well-rounded experience for both nature and culture lovers.
The cost depends on your group size, type of vehicle, and the specific activities you’d like to include in your city tour. Private tours are usually more personalized, while group trips are more affordable. Since pricing can change depending on the season and inclusions, we recommend contacting us directly for the latest and most accurate rates.
Most packages are designed to give you a seamless experience. They include transport to and from your hotel or airport, a professional driver-guide, entry fees to Nairobi National Park, and a half-day game drive. The city tour may include visits to the Giraffe Centre, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Karen Blixen Museum, or cultural centers depending on your interests. Bottled water and time for lunch are also included, while meals or additional activities can be arranged upon request.
A typical game drive in Nairobi National Park lasts between 3 to 4 hours. Morning drives are the most popular because animals are more active and easier to spot during the cooler hours. After the safari, you continue with the city tour in the late morning or afternoon, allowing you to balance wildlife viewing with sightseeing comfortably.
Yes, you can choose to do only a half-day tour of Nairobi National Park if you’re short on time. This option focuses purely on the game drive without the city tour. However, most travelers prefer the full-day package since it combines wildlife with cultural and historical attractions in Nairobi, giving you more value in one trip.
The park is located just 10 kilometers from the city center, making it extremely accessible. It takes about 20–30 minutes to get there depending on traffic, which is why it’s such a popular destination for day trips and even layovers. Its proximity means you can enjoy a full safari experience without leaving Nairobi.
Nairobi National Park is home to four of the Big Five — lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos. You’ll also see giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, antelopes, and over 400 species of birds. The variety of wildlife, combined with the city skyline in the background, makes this park a truly unique safari experience.
The cost of a 1 Day Nairobi National Park and City Tour Package usually covers several components, making it a convenient and all-inclusive option for travelers. Most packages include park entry fees, transport in a comfortable safari van or land cruiser, the services of a professional guide, and visits to selected city attractions such as the Giraffe Centre or Nairobi Museum. Some packages may also include bottled water and light refreshments, while meals or optional activities could come at an additional charge. Since rates vary based on group size, season, and specific inclusions, the best way to get accurate and up-to-date pricing is to contact us directly for the latest details tailored to your needs.
Meals are not always included by default, but we can arrange them for you if preferred. Options range from picnic-style lunches to sit-down meals at restaurants within the city. Since the tour combines safari and city exploration, you’ll have a flexible schedule to enjoy lunch at a time that suits you best.
