Nairobi Excursions

TRANSIT PASSENGER MINI SAFARI NAIROBI

You can be a transit tourist if you have more than 5 hrs waiting time at the airport. Come out of the airport with a transit visa and visit the Nairobi national park and return in time to check in for your connecting flight. Nairobi National Park is the only park within a capital city in the entire world. The park has a diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded and four of the “Big Five” can also be seen here.

One of the best ways for a transit passenger to pass time at the JKIA airport in Nairobi is to have a mini safari in Nairobi National Park. It is a short drive from the airport and boasts being the only wildlife national park in the world within a capital city. The park is made of wide open grass plains, scattered acacia bush and  play host to a wide variety of wildlife including the endangered black rhino, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, giraffes and diverse birdlife with over 400 species recorded. All this in the backdrop of the city scrapers.
