The only capital on Earth with a national park on its doorstep — lions against a skyline, baby elephants at breakfast and giraffes at eye level.
Nairobi National Park delivers the world's most surreal game drive: rhinos, lions, buffalo and giraffe grazing against a backdrop of city skyscrapers, just twenty minutes from your hotel.
Pair it with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust's morning mud-bath, where orphaned baby elephants tumble over their keepers — one of the most heart-melting hours in Africa.
