Why Weekend Safaris from Nairobi Are So Popular
Many professionals and expatriates based in Nairobi often look for short wildlife experiences that fit into a weekend schedule. Kenya’s well-developed road network makes it possible to reach world-class safari destinations within a few hours of leaving the city.
A typical weekend safari allows you to leave Nairobi early in the morning, arrive at a national park in time for an afternoon game drive, spend the next day exploring the park, and return comfortably to Nairobi on Sunday.
Because of this convenience, 2- or 3-day safaris from Nairobi have become one of the most popular travel options for people living in the city.
