It was a great day with Paul. He went above and beyond in making me feel cared for. Our safari drive was incredible. We saw lion, rhino, giraffe, crocodile, hippo and hyena. The whole day had the perfect pace. Paul gave thoughtful tips on where to stand for the orphan elephant feeding. The choice of lunch stop was great and they have undersold the visit to the bead making facility. It was amazing to learn how these women are empowered through their art. I felt like I lived a lifetime in a day.
Hello Jennifer, We appreciate that you took your time to write this splendid review of your tour in Nairobi with Paul. We are very happy that the tour exceeded your expectations as this is what we strive to offer, nothing but the best. We hope to hear from you again for your next adventure. Asante!
I just had an amazing day out with guide Peter visiting the safari in Nairobi. We saw a pride of lions, rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras just to mention a few. The guide knew his way around the park very well and he made sure I had the best views of all the animals. The elephant orphanage and giraffes visit was a nice contrast as I could touch them and hear their names and stories. The guide even took me to a bead factory and a souvenir shop on the way back. I'm so glad I booked with this company as the communication and professionalism was top notch! 10/10.
Hello Benson, Thank you for the review of your tour in Nairobi park, elephant orphanage and giraffe centre. We always strive to ensure our guides deliver the best experiences for our clients. We hope to hear from you again! Regards.
Peter was a great tour guide, driver, and just fit right in with the family. At the elephant orphanage you get to watch them bottle feed the baby elephants. The giraffe cafe you get to feed the giraffes food they provide. Following, the safari you get to see the rest of the African animals all right in the city of Nairobi. I will hire Peter again in my next visit. Review from Minnesota USA Mama Holls
Hi Mama Holls, Thank you for the incredible review of your tour with Peter. We are happy you enjoyed the highlights of Nairobi and we hope to hear from you again on your next trip. Asante!
Our day exploring Nairobi with Ace Ecotours was truly one for the books! Everything ran seamlessly from beginning to end — well-paced, well-organised, and completely stress-free, thanks to our fantastic guide, Paul. Paul was incredibly friendly, insightful, and clearly passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to make our experience feel tailored and personal, taking the time to answer our questions and let us enjoy each stop at our own pace. We were blown away by Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, and Kobe Beads — each offered something special and left us genuinely inspired. The tour was the perfect mix of wildlife encounters, cultural experiences, and meaningful moments — and having Paul as our guide made it all the more memorable.

We will continue to offer nothing but the best of these tours and we hope to hear from you next time for more trips. Blessings.
Paul was fabulous! Nothing was too much trouble for Paul and he delivered above and beyond for us. Paul helped us out in a difficult situation when our touring plans went awry and stepped in to save the day. Our Nairobi Park safari was excellent thanks to Paul’s expertise. I would highly recommend Paul to take care of any of your touring needs whilst in Nairobi. Thank you Paul.

Paul was our guide and he was so engaging and informative. He was enthusiastic about the animals on the safari and shared that enthusiasm with us, ensuring we had the best possible experience. Paul helped us out when another tour company cancelled on us at the very last minute, for which we were very grateful. Paul and his tour are highly recommended.

The Nairobi safari is always a special experience not far from the city. We hope to hear from you again on the next tour! Thank you.
We had a tour operator cancel our trip to the Nairobi National Park and elephant orphanage at 10pm the night before our scheduled 6am start. Through a contact found at 11pm we had confirmation at 11:30pm that Paul was available for a 5:40am start the next morning! Paul provided an amazing morning driving in the park to see a wonderfully diverse range of animals. Paul got us to the orphanage at a perfect time to get front row spots to the elephants, another amazing experience. Paul has a lot of knowledge to share and went out of his way to make the day uniquely ours to remember. Paul is highly recommended.

Be sure to book your local Nairobi National Park Safari with Paul. I’ve toured with Paul for the last few years and highly recommend him. He drives a quality pop top off road Safari van that is comfortable and capable of handling the changing road conditions. On today’s tour we saw Warthogs, hippos, rhinos, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes and more. Paul knows the park and the city.

Amazing! We saw all sorts of animals (tons of rhinos, lions, cheetah, buffalo, croc, giraffe, hyena, zebra, gazelle, and countless amazing birds). Paul was an awesome guide, he knows all the tips and best practices to get the most out of a safari and visits to the elephant orphanage and giraffe center. He picked us up from our accommodation on time, in an amazing vehicle, and had interesting insights and facts about Kenya and wildlife from the moment we got on our way. Within the park, he was courteous, cooperative, and respectful of the rules and the animals - extremely useful for getting a high quality experience. Paul also had excellent recommendations for lunch and souvenir shopping. 10/10 would use Paul any time!
