African Beast Tours · 6am pickup in Nairobi or Westlands
A 6am pickup and at least 3 hours of game drive in Nairobi National Park, in a proper 4x4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, not a minivan. Pick it for the early light and the space to stand up and look out, with the baby elephants as an option.
This one is about the park. Your driver-guide collects you at 6am from your hotel or residence in Nairobi or Westlands and enters Nairobi National Park through the main gate for a game drive of at least 3 hours. The guide's aim, per the listing, is variety: you may see rhinos and lions getting ready for the morning, and birds too. The vehicle is a Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof and large windows, which one reviewer singles out.
The baby elephants are an option. Ask early and the guide takes you on to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust nursery for the public hour from 11am to noon at no extra transport cost, per the listing. The Giraffe Centre is not part of this trip; pair it with the guided Giraffe Centre visit on another half day.
Check what your option covers. The park fee is included in some options, per the listing; otherwise it is US$80 per non-resident adult under the 2025 KWS rates (Legal Notice 160 of 2025), paid online through eCitizen; check KWS or eCitizen before you go, by card only. The orphanage donation is US$20 in cash. Carry a valid passport or ID, which the listing says is required on the day.
Your driver-guide collects you from your hotel or residence in Nairobi or Westlands.
At least 3 hours through the main gate and across the park, with the roof popped up for photos. You may see rhinos and lions.

★★★★★A fantastic tour from start to finish. We loved ever part of it! A morning game drive, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (my highlight) [...] Simba, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and answered all of our many questions. A highly recommended tour!
