Driving And Matatu Directions to the Nairobi National Park.

You maybe dead-bored and just want to get busy before the sun goes down. One good proven (by me) Ideas to kill time in the city is to visit the Nairobi National Park which also plays host to Nairobi Safari
Walk and Nairobi Animal Orphange. But you may be wondering how the heck will I get there. OK, here are simple driving and public transport directions to the Nairobi National Park.

Matatus to Nairobi National Park/Animal Orphanage

I am assuming you definitely know how to get to Nairobi CBD from your estate. The tussle may be where and which matatu to pick to take you the the park. Once in town, go to the Bus Station; famously known as "BS". BS is conveniently located off Tom Mboya Street, near the merge with Haile Selassie Avenue. The most notabel physical item is the Afya Centre, the only green High rising buidling in the city.
At BS, pick matatu number 15; those ones that go to Langata and St.Marys Mission Hospital. You might want to ensure they will use the outer Langata Road as opposed to those that cruise inside the Langata estate and might land you in a much further place where you will further need to walk to the gate.
An even better option is taking the Matatus/buses plying the Ongata Rongai route 123/126. These can be picked at the Railways Bus Station. Railways is just at the roundabout of Moi Avenue and Haile Selassie Ave. The advantage of the route 123/126 matatus is that they will drop you right infront of the Nairobi National Park. However, you might pay more especially if the matatu is charging standard fare for all stops along the route.

Driving to Nairobi National Park

If you will be driving, I also presume you know how to get to town. From the CBD, take Uhuru Highway and drive to the Mombasa direction. At the Nyayo Stadium Roundabout, take the Langata Road route and drive up straight. The park gate will be found on your left about about 8km from the Nyayo Stadium Roundabout.

So there you have it, freshen up and have a stroll to one of the most beautiful natural National Parks near a Capital City
