Introduction

Located near the entrance of Nairobi National Park, the Nairobi Safari Walk is a walk-through wildlife education centre run by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Raised wooden boardwalks pass through three simulated natural habitats - wetland, savannah and forest - allowing visitors to see rhinos, antelopes, primates and birds up close without venturing deep into the national park. It is a relaxing outing well suited to families and children.
