The tour itself was fantastic and we were able to see a lions, hippos, white rhinos, buffalo and many other animals. Our driver was great. We also thought the giraffe center was lovely, getting up close to the gentle animals. However, I do have to ding the review one star since we had arranged a 6am pickup time, the driver got drunk the night before and didn't show (confirmed by the tour operator), and we finally got picked up by a replacement driver at 7am. Worse, we were not informed of the delay. Needless to say the Nairobi traffic was much worse and the animals were heading to siesta that much earlier. I think the tour operator has learned a lot from this, and hopefully will be more communicative with their clients in the future.

It is also wonderful to know that you loved visiting the giraffe center and had the chance to get up close with these gentle and beautiful animals, it is always a memorable highlight for many guests. We sincerely appreciate your understanding regarding the delayed pickup. While we regret that the morning did not begin as smoothly as planned, we are grateful for your patience and for recognizing that the situation provided important lessons for us as a tour operator.

Damaris was our consultant and Nathan was our driver/guide, and we had a wonderful day. NNP, elephant orphanage, Kobe beads, giraffe center plus a delicious lunch at a restaurant with Kenyan dishes. Couldn't have been better except we never found the elusive leopards, last check-off on our Big 5 list for the week. Oh, well, next time! Thanks for a great day.
Hello, Thank you so much for the lovely review! We are so glad to hear that everything went smoothly — from planning your safari with Damaris to spending the day exploring with Nathan as your guide. It sounds like you had a wonderful day indeed and we are thrilled you enjoyed the wildlife, culture, and delicious Kenyan cuisine along the day. It is sad the elusive leopards didn’t make an appearance — but that just gives us the perfect excuse to welcome you back for another adventure. Until next time, asante sana for choosing us!

We absolutely loved exploring Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, and the Elephant Orphanage, each one was a highlight in its own way and left us completely in awe. This tour perfectly blended wildlife, culture, and heart, all made even better by our incredible guide, Paul, who made sure every moment felt personal and unforgettable.
