Very good place to take good wildlife pictures, the animals are usually tamed and you can approach them very easily. This is the only reason you should visit Nairobi National park

Nice if you a few spare hours in Nairobi, but that's all.

A little "tame", but O.K. for a short safari during a business trip.

Surrounded by the city. Some decent animal and bird viewing.

For a very short 4 hour game drive its perfect. Wouldn't want to do more than one drive there it is very small (no elephants). We enjoyed it though

Nice park right next to the city. It certainly has less wildlife than the other ones but the location works great for a day safari. The best part is definitely the elephant orphanage.

Very pricy! Good for seeing Rhinos and lions if you can´t make it out of Nairobi.

The fee for the national park is very high, making it very expensive to visit. But it's worth it!

When you stay a few days in Nairobi this is nice to visit. You can also visit the Sheldrick elephant orphanege as the government made it like this, only possible to visit the orphanege through Nairobi NP, what isn't so good for the orphanege
