Kenya is a land of spectacular scenery, teeming wildlife, and unforgettable experiences. For tourists who want a perfect blend of adventure and nature, Nairobi safari tours coupled with a visit to Lake Manyara National Park offer an unbeatable journey into the heart of East Africa. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned safari enthusiast, these itinerary promises memory that will last a lifetime.

Why Choose a Nairobi Safari Tour?

Not just a busy city, Nairobi, the vibrant capital of Kenya, serves as an entrance to some of the country’s most iconic wildlife experiences. The Safari of Nairobi will take you to nearby sites such as Nairobi National Park-home to lions, giraffes, and rhinos against a backdrop of the city’s skyline. This excursion often includes a visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, where you get the opportunity to engage with baby elephants that have been rescued, and the Giraffe Centre provides close-up encounters with endangered Rothschild giraffes. These make Nairobi an ideal starting point before you start going deep into the wild of Kenya.

Discover the Wonders of Lake Manyara National Park

Only a few hours’ drive from Nairobi, Lake Manyara National Park is a jewel in northern Tanzania, known for its tree-climbing lions and expansive flamingo-filled lake. The park’s diverse ecosystem – ranging from dense forests to open savannahs-supports over 400 bird species and a variety of wildlife including elephants, hippos, and buffaloes. Whether you’re cruising along the park’s trails or enjoying a picnic by the lake, the serene beauty of Lake Manyara offers a unique safari experience away from the crowds.
