End your EDvance Summit experience with one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife encounters — a morning game drive through Nairobi National Park, managed by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). More information at http://www.kws.go.ke
Kenya’s oldest national park and one of the world’s most distinctive conservation landscapes, Nairobi National Park is the only wildlife sanctuary on earth set against the backdrop of a major city skyline. Covering 117 km² just 7–10 km south of Nairobi’s city centre, the park brings together open grassland, woodland, wetlands, and one of Kenya’s most important rhino conservation landscapes. Lions, leopards, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and over 500 bird species await — all within minutes of your hotel.
