Nairobi Safari Walk & Animal Orphanage
Nairobi Safari Walk
A boardwalk zoo beside the national park's main gate, where you can get close to white rhinos, cheetahs and orphaned wild animals.
Operated by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), it sits beside the national park's main gate on Langata Road. An elevated wooden walkway of about 1.5 km runs through grassland, wetland and forest habitats, where you can get close to white rhinos, pygmy hippos, cheetahs and lions. Next door, the animal orphanage takes in injured wild animals and those that have lost their parents. It suits visitors short on time or travelling with children, and it can also be visited before or after a game drive in the national park. Open about 08:00–17:30. Foreign adult admission is about US$25, paid electronically.
