Southpark Apartments

The only national park on earth bordering a capital city. 117 sq km of open savanna where lions, black rhinos, cheetahs, leopards, buffalo, giraffes and over 400 bird species roam freely — with Nairobi's skyline behind them. Kenya's oldest national park (est. 1946) and one of Africa's most important black rhino sanctuaries. A half-day game drive from your front door.

Get nose to nose with the endangered Rothschild giraffe at this beloved Karen landmark. Feed them by hand from an elevated platform, learn about conservation efforts, and walk the nature trail. One of Nairobi's most photographed experiences — beloved by families and solo travellers alike.

Watch orphaned baby elephants — rescued from the wild — play, tumble and mud-bathe in one of Kenya's most moving conservation experiences. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust has rehabilitated and released hundreds of elephants since 1977. Visiting hours are in the morning; perfectly timed before a park game drive.

Immerse yourself in Kenya's rich cultural heritage. Bomas of Kenya showcases traditional homesteads, music, dance and crafts from over 40 communities. An unmissable cultural evening just minutes from your apartment — the perfect counterpoint to a morning in the wild.
