👍 Nature is beautiful, loved the scenery. Was able to see giraffes, kagals, ostrich, zebras and luckily some lionesses going for a hunt.

  • 5/5 Alessandra C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome safari, easily spend hours here. $60 USD for foreigners. Saw everything but cheetahs. And they don’t have elephants. Can get muddy on rainy day and can be dangerous.

    Nice place to chill out during weekends. The best part of it is trying to solve the puzzle of where the Lions might be at the moment

  • 4/5 Manoj T. 4 years ago on Google
    Don't use Eastgate to enter the park since the road in front is very muddy and hard to drive. Instead you can use the main entrance. I advice you to reach there before 10' clock because there is less chance of seeing more animals later because of immense sunheat. Remember, the park does not accept cash for fee payment, you need to pay using ATM card.No idea whether they accept Mpesa.

    They serve you well at the east gate, only that the road to the gate from mombasa road to the park gate is a mess, this has been caused by the countless trailers that use the connection making the road to be too rough for small cars. If you wake up early in the morning you will definitely see the lions.

    (Translated by Google) Super interesting park to visit ... animals are present and agents for our security. The park is also on the mobile phone so it's impossible to lose your way. I highly recommend it for those who want a safari without leaving nairobi. Indeed park located in the heart of the city.
