Discover Details:
Nairobi Safari Walk
Consider visiting during the weekday instead of the weekend. It was way less crowded when I went on a Tuesday, and I had a more relaxing experience.
Wear comfortable shoes; the paths can get a bit rocky and uneven. I wish I'd brought better footwear because I ended up with sore feet by the end of the day!
Don't rush through; take your time to walk the trails and observe. I almost missed a cool family of monkeys because I was hurrying to the next exhibit.
Nairobi National Park
If you want to avoid the big groups, try visiting the Nairobi Railway Museum on a weekday. It felt much more personal and I could take my time exploring without being rushed. Saturdays get packed!
Tsavo East National Park
I suggest visiting during the early morning around 6 am. The animals are super active then, plus the light for photos is just stunning.
My advice is to bring snacks and water for the road. The drive can be long and you never know when you'll hit a decent spot to eat.
Olulua Nature Trail
Start your hike early, around 7 AM, to avoid the heat and enjoy the beautiful morning sounds of nature. It's so peaceful!
Holler Park Mombasa
I suggest you go early, like around 8 AM, when it opens. The animals are more active and you'll avoid the crowds later in the day.
I think bringing your own snacks and drinks is a good idea, as prices at the park can be a bit steep, especially for families
I recommend checking out the evening events if you can they're usually less crowded and you get a really chill vibe with beautiful sunsets
Maasai Mara
I think bringing some snacks and water is a must. The park can be a bit remote and the food options in the wild aren't always the best. Trust me having a granola bar on hand during a long drive is priceless.
