Parking lot is good. You can have a guide for the walk. I recommend if you are a visitor. They are very helpful in finding animals and with information about the animals and the park. It really was worth it. You walk a path and animals are in their habits. Depending on the day how active they are. We even say several animals that came in from the national Park. My highlight was the giraffes. We got to feed them and have pictures with them. Amazing seeing the animals so close you could see how big they are. There were bathroom on site maybe take tissue with you. End of day there was none

At first, I thought the park felt a bit sad. Some animals, like the hyena and the hippo, were alone in their enclosures, and I didn’t really like seeing them by themselves. As we kept walking, though, we saw more animals with their partners or in groups, and that made the whole experience feel better. The park is fun and educational, especially for kids. They get to learn about many different species and how they behave, which is great. It’s also a really nice place for a family day out. The walk takes around 1.5 to 2 hours, and by the end of it, I felt it was worth visiting. Halfway through the walk, a man approached us and took us to an area that looked off-limits to regular visitors. There we saw a giraffe and even got to feed it. After that, they asked us for a tip, which felt kind of weird and a bit awkward. Even though feeding the giraffe and being so close to it was a cool experience, it would have been much better if this had been something official you could book and pay for properly. The park’s infrastructure is actually not very good, and even what already exists clearly needs better maintenance. When I tried to use the restroom, there was no toilet paper and the place was dirty. On top of that, the park entrance is confusing, with a slow and unclear payment system. There’s definitely a lot that still needs to be improved. Overall, even with a few issues, the park is a nice place to spend a few hours. It’s a fun, relaxed walk and, in the end, it’s worth checking out :)

Nairobi Safari Park is a wonderful place to spend a day outdoors and enjoy wildlife up close. The park is well maintained, easy to navigate, and offers a fun experience for both families and visitors of all ages. It can get quite crowded on weekends, especially in the afternoons, so going earlier in the day is a good idea. One very convenient feature is that you can buy tickets right at the gate using a QR code, which makes entry quick and hassle-free. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed wildlife experience within the city - highly recommended!

I had fun here at Nairobi Safari walk was amazing. The glance at different kind of animals, plants and birds was satisfying. From hippotatomus, to cheetahs, lions, giraffes, zebra, water bucks, baboons, black and white monkeys, python, rhino, ostriches, gazelles etc. The side forest was so tranquil and amazing.

Nice place to be in nature and enjoy animals while walking safely. Staff are kind, animals are just adorable and lovely. It takes about 3 - 4 hours to see everything and spend time. Children and adults will enjoy it. Some animals are loose so be careful and follow the instructions.
