A game walk in the heart of Nairobi

Entrance to the Nairobi Safari Walk.

I was stuck at home in Ngong, Kajiado with nothing to do, itching for an adventure when it occurred to me that there was one exciting adventure that I could do right at the heart of Nairobi – a game-walk at the only national park in a city – The Nairobi National Park’s Safari Walk. 

Forty-five minutes later, I am at the entry gate of the Nairobi National Park, along Langata Road. The nearest I could get to the wild, the warden at the entry told me, was to do a safari walk – the boardwalk. Two hours are enough to do the entire boardwalk.
