Nairobi the capital city of Kenya is a ‘Mecca’ for the wildlife lovers and is often referred to as the one and only ‘Safari Capital’ in the world. The Great Nairobi National Park which covers an area of 117.21 sq km of plains, cliffs and rich vegetation is nestled just 7 km away from the capital city. Within a few minutes ride from the city one can see the wild animals in their natural habit such as Zebra, Buffalo, Giraffe, Rhino, Cheetah, Lion, Hyena, etc. Due to its great location and close proximity to the city one can enjoy a wild life safari tour and even thousands of children on school trips visit the park regularly. It is best to make your arrangements in advance and book cheap flights from your city and choose the one that best fits in with your requirements.
Wildlife in Kenya is one of the most diverse in Africa and it is the home to the "Big Five" which includes elephants, buffalos, lions, leopards and rhinoceros. There are over 400 species of bird life such as eagle, flamingo, ostrich, etc. It is said that the Safari tour in Nairobi is said to be incomplete without sighting the wildebeest crossing the river and the lion and crocodile hunting down their prey. Besides Nairobi National Park, the other must visit parks and sanctuaries include the Amboseli National Park, Mount Kenya National Park and Maasai Mara Game Reserve. A trip through these parks gives you a close up encounter with the wild animals in their natural surroundings such as the African lion relaxing in the green meadows of Maasai Mara Game Reserve or the gazelle running around the Amboseli National Park.
Thus, a Kenyan Safari offers an experience of a lifetime with treasured memories of Kenya's wildlife, scenic beauty and cultural heritage. But, one important thing to keep in mind is to contact a reliable travel tour operator who can provide you with the best advice and customer satisfaction while booking your safari tour packages along with an experienced guide.
