A driver from The Emakoko will greet you at Arrivals and take you on an exciting journey back to the lodge through the East Gate of Nairobi National Park. As night falls, embark on an exhilarating drive through the park, where the headlamps reveal countless glimmering eyes and the chance to encounter lions or other majestic creatures just off the dirt road. For the next two days, you have the exhilarating opportunity to roam freely: venture through the 117 square kilometres of Nairobi National Park to encounter black rhinos, white rhinos, majestic big cats, and a myriad of other fascinating species. Or explore some of Nairobi's other essential spots, such as the DSWT Elephant Orphanage, the AFEW Giraffe Centre, Kazuri Beads, the National Museum, or numerous others highlighted in the Rough Guide to Kenya. A vehicle and driver will be ready for you whenever you need them. Alternatively, wander through the gardens, unwind on the stunning terrace or by the pool, or embark on a bird-watching adventure or a reptile exploration.
