Bring a pair of binoculars along with your food supplies to Nairobi National Park. Among these wide, open-grass plains are lions, leopards, giraffes and more, all set against the backdrop of the city. There are designated picnic sites offering a variety of viewpoints; eat like a hungry hippo overlooking the Hippo Pools and Nature Trail or rest by the riverside at the Kingfisher Picnic Site. Facilities include picnic tables, toilets, water supplies and huts for cooking (bonus: you can even stay over!).
