The skyscrapers of the nation’s capital stand over what was 100 years ago just a remote, uninhabited waterhole in the highlands. Its Maasai name meaning “the place of cool waters” and that was good enough for the British to choose it as base camp for their 1000km (620 miles) railway from Mombasa to Lake Victoria.
Today at an altitude of 1,657m (5437ft) the town generally pleasant and temperature climate makes it an ideal starting point for exploring the game parks of the countries interior or as a place to relax after a safari. Lions roar a mere 8km (5miles) from the city Centre.
Nairobi National Game Park is a unique ecosystem by being the only protected area in the world close to a capital city. Located just 7kms from Nairobi’s city Centre, Nairobi National Park is the perfect place for a half-day or full day excursion or Tour from the Kenyan capital. One of the only places on earth where you can be on safari with skyscrapers as part of your backdrop, it is an ideal layover escape or add-on to your existing safari.
