    Wondering about some of the top outdoor fun activities to do in Nairobi? Here’s Nairobi National Park ,one of the  top  unique places in Africa. The Nairobi  National park  is the only wildlife sanctuary  in a capital city in the entire world thus it automatically falls in the bucket list of  the  best places to visit in Africa.

    Tips for Your Visit

    • Unless you know where you’re going, entering the park with a tour guide is recommended. The guides communicate with each other about animal locations, giving visitors the best chance of seeing the animals that they’re most interested in.
    • Opt for a vehicle with an open roof for the best unobstructed views of what’s around you.
    • Travelers often focus solely on spotting lions, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards, but remember there are over 100 other mammals and 400 bird species that you can also see in the park.
    • Animals are most active in the early morning and in the evening—especially the big cats. Aim to visit early in the day or late in the day for the best chance to see something exciting.
    • The wet seasons are April to June and again from October to November. The roads can get difficult to navigate so hiring a guide is extra important, but there are also fewer crowds and gorgeous wildflowers in bloom.
