Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Nairobi National Park, Langata Road, Nairobi Kenya

We’ll pick you up for a journey to the national park. Your mini safari is in the comfort of a private pop-top safari minivan.
Arriving in Nairobi National Park, you’ll quickly see how unique this special reserve is. Within sight of the city’s skyline you can spot lion, rhino, giraffe, buffalo, cheetah, hyena, zebra and much more.
This reserve is the real thing – the animals aren’t in cages or behind fences. They are here in the wild, by the thousands. In fact, the annual East Africa migration of wildebeest and zebra moves over the wide-open grassy plains, past acacia bush and through this most unlikely national park.
Just 10km (6mi) south of the Kenya capital city of Nairobi, the park is Kenya’s oldest (1946) and one of its smallest, but sightings of lions and hyenas are regular. you’ll have opportunities to see endangered rhinos, hippos, ostrich and 400 species of birds.

And then after the feeding, watch the elephant babies roll about in the mud, playing, frolicking like young children everywhere.
