Leopards in Nairobi National Park
Leopards are in the park. Most visitors do not see one. The honest booking is a drive that will look properly, not a drive that promises a cat in a tree.
The places guides slow down are the river lines and the thicker bush, including the Mokoyeti, rather than the short-grass plains where zebra are obvious. A leopard can be in a tree over the road and still be missed if the vehicle is moving for a gate time.
That is the practical difference between a standard half-day and a photography safari. The photo drive is allowed to wait. It is not allowed to drive off the road, and it is not a tracking guarantee. If you have one morning and you want a broader look at the park, book the normal half-day and treat a leopard as a bonus.
Do not bring a spotlight on a day drive, and do not ask to walk into the thicket. The rules exist because the animal is hunting, not performing.
Look for a leopard on a half-day private game drive at $300 per group (your group only, park fees paid separately), or join the weekend Land Cruiser drive from KSh 4,500 per person.
More animal guides: zebras, buffalo, hippos and birds, with where and when each is usually seen.
