Vehicle fees apply separately and are charged per entry. Below is a simplified guide:
| Vehicle Type | Fee (KES) |
|---|---|
| Up to 6 seats | 600 |
| 6–12 seats | 1,500 |
| 13–24 seats | 3,000 |
The park is open daily from 6 AM to 6 PM, with last entry permitted at 5:30 PM. Early morning is the best time for sightings of active predators, while late afternoon offers warm light ideal for photography. Visitors planning a full-day outing should factor in time for nearby sites like the Giraffe Centre or the Elephant Nursery, both of which pair well with a Nairobi National Park game drive.
