NAIROBI SAFARI WALK

"The Closest you can get to the Wild”

Characterized by three simulated major ecosystems namely; wetland, savannah and forest, the Safari Walk is the closest you can get to the wild. The raised wooden boardwalk that snakes around the ecosystem allows for uninterrupted views of the animals, the varied wildlife habitats, River Mokoyet and the beautifulrocky thickets of Nairobi National Park. Visitors can discover the flora and fauna they expect to see across the country at the Nairobi Safari walk. They can sample the menu of the country’s rich fauna and flora including the white rhino, Big cats, Crocodiles, Pigmy Hippo, antelopes and primates. It is also home to some 150 indigenous trees.

Other than game viewing, the facility is also a conservation education hub for schools, higher learning institutions and the general public. Conservation education conducted here is in an effort to foster and rally Kenyans and the public at large to take part and contribute in conservation of our wildlife heritage for the present and future generations and for the world. Nairobi Safari Walk also acts as a wildlife research center especially to students/learning institutions.
