Uber, the global ride-hailing platform, has launched Uber Safari, an innovative service in Nairobi, Kenya, that brings wildlife exploration closer than ever before.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Picture yourself venturing into the wilds of Africa, hearing the mighty roar of lions, spotting rhinos grazing under the sun, watching giraffes stroll gracefully, and experiencing the raw beauty of the wilderness. Thanks to technology, this adventure is no longer a far-off dream but something you can book right from your phone.<\/p>\n

Uber, the global ride-hailing platform, has launched Uber Safari, an innovative service in Nairobi, Kenya, that brings wildlife exploration closer than ever before.<\/p>\n

With Uber Safari, visitors can set out on guided game drives through the Nairobi National Park, home to lions, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, and more without stepping away from the familiar Uber app. It\u2019s a seamless way to discover the marvels of nature while enjoying the comfort and convenience of a booked ride.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just another Uber trip. Nairobi is one of the few cities in the world with a full national park right at its doorstep. That\u2019s what makes it special, and we wanted to create something that celebrates this uniqueness,” said Imran Manji, Uber\u2019s Head of East Africa, in a statement to The Nairobi Law Monthly.<\/p>\n

The service provides pick-up and drop-off from your preferred location, along with expert wildlife guides to enrich the safari experience. To make it possible, Uber has teamed up with licensed tour operators to design tailored journeys.<\/p>\n

Two packages are available: a day safari priced at KSh 25,000 (around \u20b917,043) that accommodates up to seven guests, and a night safari at KSh 40,000 (around \u20b927,177) for a maximum of five guests. Bookings must be made in advance, two days ahead for daytime tours and five days for nighttime outings. Wildlife lovers can also plan their trips as far as three months in advance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019ve done is merge the simplicity and accessibility people associate with Uber with the magic of the safari experience. The Nairobi National Park and our technology are what inspired this idea,” added Manji.<\/p>\n

Payments are made directly through the Uber app, while entry tickets to the park must be purchased separately from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).<\/p>\n

The impact is already visible. According to the Tourism Research Institute, Nairobi National Park welcomed 24% more visitors in the first half of 2025 compared to the previous year, making it one of the region\u2019s top attractions.<\/p>\n

The initiative is being rolled out in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Kenya Wildlife Service, Tourism Regulatory Authority, and trusted fleet partners, ensuring visitors a smooth, safe, and unforgettable adventure.<\/p>\n
