Nairobi → Nairobi National Park: key facts

Getting from Nairobi Airport (NBO) to Nairobi National Park takes about 20 min by car on an empty road (20–30 min in heavy traffic) over 20 km via UCA2. Our private transfer costs €35 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €50 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits outside the arrivals exit of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1A for most international flights, Terminal 1E when it is in use, Terminal 1D for domestic flights), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Nairobi National Park is a fenced savannah reserve that begins only about 7 km from the city centre, with the skyline visible behind grazing animals. Its main gate and the Kenya Wildlife Service headquarters are on Langata Road. From the airport the route follows Mombasa Road or the Nairobi Expressway for a few kilometres and then the Southern Bypass, which runs along the park's northern fence, before turning onto Langata Road. The trip is short, but weekday traffic on the bypass can slow it.

Next to the main gate are the Nairobi Safari Walk, a raised boardwalk with animals of the region, and the animal orphanage. Game drives inside the park start from the main gate or the East Gate off Mombasa Road; private vehicles may drive the park's dirt roads, which can be muddy in the rainy seasons around April and November. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant nursery lies inside the park near the Langata side, and the Giraffe Centre and Karen are a few kilometres further west.

Public transport: No direct public transport from the airport to the park's main gate; the Kenya Railways commuter trains near the airport run only towards the city centre.
