You will begin to see animals as soon as your drive starts, as herbivores such as zebras, giraffes, antelopes, and gazelles are in abundance. Predators such as lions and leopards might be harder to spot, but an experienced tour driver/ guide will know which areas to search. If you are lucky, you may witness a hunt, which is one of the most exciting experiences when out on a game drive.

The morning will pass by fast as you get pre-occupied with spotting the more than 100 species of animals that inhabit this park. A day tour at Nairobi National Park is equally exciting for bird lovers and if keen you can be able to spot some rare migratory bird species.

The Narogoman dam is the biggest artificial dam in the park, and it makes for a good picnic site. The Impala observation post is one of the best picnic sights, offering a panoramic view of the park and located in a grassy area surrounded by acacia trees. It is well maintained with bathroom facilities.

There are plenty of other activities for those taking a full day tour including taking a walk at the hippo pools, checking out the historic ivory burning site and visiting the Nairobi Safari Walk.
