🔥Today, we're going to talk about a super popular place - Nairobi National Park! It's located right next to Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Can you imagine? You can start a wild African journey right on the edge of the city. Isn't that a little exciting? 🚗🌳 🌿The address is: Nairobi National Park, Kenya ⏰Opening hours: The park is generally open from 6am to 5pm, but it is recommended to set off early, as animals are most active in the morning and evening! 🦁As soon as you enter the park, you will find that it is a vast grassland with few trees, so secretive masters like leopards and cheetahs are not likely to settle here. Although there are fewer lions, they occasionally appear in your field of vision, adding a surprise to your journey! 🦏What excites us most is that we actually saw three white rhinos next to a driveway! They were eating grass leisurely, completely ignoring our existence. And giraffes, wild buffaloes and various antelopes are everywhere, it feels like coming to the scene in "The Lion King"! 🐊When we got to the first lake, we also found some crocodiles sunbathing. It's a great opportunity to get close to nature! But remember to keep a safe distance. 🚘As for the way to visit, it is highly recommended to self-drive with a professional licensed guide. Although it costs a little more, it's definitely worth it! The guides know where to see animals most easily, and their knowledge will make your journey more colorful. 🚫Note, don't deal with those informal guides who take the initiative to accost at the entrance. 💳By the way, if you are a tourist from overseas, please prepare a credit card, because the tickets cannot be paid in cash. 💡 🐘Finally, don't miss the nearby "Ivory Land", where three Kenyan presidents publicly burned ivory, showing the world their determination to resolutely oppose poaching.

Kenya is one of the most beautiful countries I’ve ever travelled to. We crafted our trip mixing different experiences- Safari, unique hotel stay which was the Giraffe Manor and the encounter with the local culture. We chose Samburu as our Safari destination which was a perfect choice. After spotting the most unique species we visited the local village and were hosted by the Samburu tribe. During our Safari experience we stayed in Sasaab by the Safari Collection which was everything I ever dreamt of. The final stop of our trip was a stay in the Giraffe Manor which was just as unique as the picture show!
