Half day trip to the National Park

Half day trip to the national park with airport transport at the end. Very smooth pick up, friendly guides and driver. National Park with city skyline was excellent. Not many other visitors and we saw lions, giraffe, ostrich, silver monkeys, buffalo, crocodiles, rhinos, hippos and many birds with the setting sun. Guide was calm, relaxed and shared interesting facts. Highly recommended.

Kenya Safari

This was an out of this world experience. They picked me up from the airport and went right to the Safari. I was able to see 4 of the big 5. We also visited the giraffe center and feed the giraffes. But the Safari was life changing. You never know what animals will appear or where in the park they will be. My guide did an excellent job getting me to around to see them all. Calvin was 10 out of 10

Enjoyable boat safari and cycle ride in Hells Gate national park

Picked up at the hotel by Joash at the appointed time, then drove to Lake Naivasha for a boat safari where we saw plenty of land mammals as well as sea eagle and pelicans. Then took an electric bike ride to the gorge in Hells Gate national park for a guided tour before heading back for lunch that we had ordered in the morning. After lunch we headed back to Nairobi.

Amazing !!!!

I read the reviews and thought of booking this package. And I’m very glad I chose to do so because I had a wonderful experience. Nairobi national Park does offer you sightings of many animals. Are tour guide/Driver named Douglas is an amazing person very informative ,friendly and and was amazingly patient when it came to wildcat sightings. He picked us up from the hotel and dropped us back in time. Hence I give this experience five star. Thank you, Douglas for a wonderful experience

Best of Nairobi with a Great Guide

We did the private tour that included Nairobi National Park, Elephant Orphanage, Maasai Bead Demonstration/Store, stop for lunch, & Giraffe Sanctuary. Douglas was our guide, and he was fantastic. He tailored the experience to our areas of interest. For example, he knew we really wanted to see Rhinos in the national park and focused on those sightings. He had thorough explanations of the animals and was able to answer all our questions. What was most impressive was the seamless experience that he executed throughout the day during a very busy Saturday in Nairobi. Douglas knows the best places to park, what time to get to the Elephant orphanage/ where to stand to get the best views, how to get extra pellets when feeding the giraffes, the best spot to stop for lunch and the most efficient way to navigate the lines/crowds for each stop of the day. Overall, we had an excellent day and truly feel we experienced the top attractions in Nairobi. We would highly recommend this tour and suggest you ask for Douglas as your guide.

Douglas is phenomenal

Douglas was phenomenal, he knew how much I wanted to see rhinos since missing them at Masai Mara reserve and he offered to take me to Nairobi National park the very next day for an evening game drive. He picked me up from my location at the Nairobi National museum promptly and we went to Nairobi National park where we saw plenty of animals: rhinos, hippos, ostriches, eagles, geese, etc. Douglas was very knowledgeable about the animals and where we would spot them. After the ride he took me to Kobe touch to learn about the ceramic bead making and Masai women project. It was beautiful to learn about them. Afterward he dropped me to the Village market mall. Due to his knowledge and gracious offerings for 2 days, I was able to see much of Kenya, more than I would have alone or I think with another tour guide. I really appreciate Douglas and I would recommend his services over and over again.

Douglas is the best!

Douglas was phenomenal, he knew how much I wanted to see rhinos since missing them at Masai Mara so he offered to do an evening safari ride in Nairobi National park the very next day. Douglas picked me up from my destination at the Nairobi National museum very promptly and we had an amazing ride through the Nairobi National Park where we in fact did see plenty of rhinos, hippos, ostriches and plenty more. Douglas was very knowledgeable about all the animals and where we may spot them. He was very professional, kind, and charming as my experience the day before. After our ride he took me to Kobe Touch where I learned about the ceramic bead making industry and the Masai women project. It was beautiful to learn about it. Afterward he drove me to the Village Market Mall and I was able to enjoy all the mall amenities. Since Douglas was so knowledgeable and gracious for 2 days with me I felt as if I got to see so much more of Kenya than if I would have been alone or with another tour guide. I really appreciate the time and information he provided. I would recommend his services over and over again. I hope to be back to Kenya!

Highly recommend. Unforgettable moments!

I had the pleasure of being accompanied by an exceptional guide and driver during my stay in Kenya, especially at Nairobi National Park. Throughout the game, he was incredibly professional, always punctual, and extremely knowledgeable about the area and its wildlife. He was not only reliable but also genuinely kind, thoughtful, and full of great advice that made the experience even more memorable. Thanks to him, I discovered Kenya in the best possible way : safely, comfortably, and with so much insight and warmth. A huge thank you for this unforgettable journey — I wholeheartedly recommend his services! 🙏🏾🇰🇪🛻🦒
