Welcome to the ultimate urban birding experience!
Located just 7 kilometers from the heart of Nairobi's Central Business District, Nairobi National Park holds the distinction of being Kenya’s oldest national park (gazetted in 1946). Despite its intimate size of 117 square kilometers, it stands as the premier urban birding hotspot in the world, boasting a recorded checklist of over 500 avian species.
Join us for a full-day guided excursion across the park’s diverse landscapes, ranging from open grass plains and acacia woodlands to riverine forests and wetlands.
