Things to Do  

Impala Observation point

Impala Observation point, Nairobi National Park

 sphynxxs Says:  the observation point - conveniently equipped with a picknick and barbecue site that is very popular on weekends - offers one of the most beautiful views over the savannah parts of Nairobi national park. After a rather steep hilldrive you reach a plateau overlooking the vast... 

Mokoiyet Gorge and View point

Mokoiyet Gorge and View point, Nairobi National Park

 sphynxxs Says:  The Mokoiyet gorge in the Southeastern part of the park is a bit of a green heart of the park. With the river running through the gorge, there is water and dense shrubbery all year round. In times of drought even the local Massai bring their cattle here, though law prohibits... 

A picknick in the wilderness

A picknick in the wilderness, Nairobi National Park

 sphynxxs Says:  As Nairobi NP covers a relatively small area, you can easily interrupt a game drive for a picknick at one of the picknick and sightseeing sites in the park. There are more such places than in bigger parks like Massai Mara or Tsavo, and you can get out of the car and stretch...

Restaurants  

Rangers: Brunch next to the wilderness

Rangers: Brunch next to the wilderness, Nairobi National Park

 sphynxxs Says:  Rangers restaurant is not IN Nairobi National park, but right next to the gift shop right of the main gate - can´t be missed especially on the days when massai dancers hang around in wait of tourists. The whole place is set out in a bit of a safari theme and when you sit on... 

Transportation  

get a local feeling on KWS bus

 sphynxxs Says:  of course it is best to have your own transport through the park as this means you can go whereever you want and stop as often and as long as you like. there are a number of organised trips, but for those who have to keep a close look at their budget (and the entry prices... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Animals have right of way

Animals have right of way, Nairobi National Park

 sphynxxs Says:  Most people driving through Nairobi national park will probably not drive too fast - the speed limit is 30 km/h - because they do not want to overlook wildlife and possibly speed past a dozing lion. nonetheless, some cannot resist the temptation to try to hit the gas pedal... 

Tourist Traps  

safari walk at the Nairobi National Park sucks!

safari walk at the Nairobi National Park sucks!, Nairobi National Park

 rocks1952 Says:  The Nairobi National Park is worthwhile to see and there are lots of animals that you will enjoy watching. Although it is rather difficult to see the nocturnal wildlife during day time. Close to the entrance to the Park there is a safari walk.Don't take that tour.Many cages... 

Favorites

 sphynxxs Says:  Driving across Nairobi national park, a mood of tranquility in the wild will rather often than not be interrupted by roaring engine noise from above. The park is located next to Wilson airport, one of the busiest air hubs in Africa as the vast number of safari flights start...
