Great half-day trip with driver Albert and Perfect Safari to Nairobi National Park
We booked a half-day safari trip to Nairobi National park, directly via WhatsApp with the operator. Fair pricing, quick responses. Driver Albert picked us up at the airport as agreed. We went with a modern pop-up roof jeep, water drinks included. Albert was very friendly, took us to all animals visible in the afternoon hour in the park. Albert also answered all our questions on the types of animals we see and their typical behaviour. All in all great experience, good price, modern car, reliable and friendly driver - we could not get more out of this afternoon in Nairobi.

Lions & Skyscrapers
Nairobi National Park is a one-of-a-kind place, as you get to see African wildlife such as giraffes, lions and rhinos with skyscrapers in the background. Our guide, Albert, did a great job finding and following the animals, and was a good company all around. Would recommend!

Our guide was most...
Our guide was most memorable. Black Santa as he's known, was an excellent and knowledgeable guide.
Although we did not see any lions walking, we still had a wonderful time.

Couldn't have been better!
We had a great trip with Albert and Isaac! Couldn't have been better. Private tour, just three of us in the safari truck. No jostling for viewpoints/camera angles, went at our own pace, stopped whenever and wherever we pleased. It was fabulous! I like birds, another friend wanted the crocs, we saw all the Big Four (no elephants in NNP.) We followed a pride of 11 lions for a good 30 minutes, saw an ostrich doing a practice mating dance, came up on two rhinos right beside the road, etc, etc. It was the best! No, it's not cheap--but so worth it!

Highly recommended trip if visiting Nairobi
This trip is highly recommended. Albert our guide was very friendly, courteous and even have us a few tips on other places we could get local cuisines and souvenirs. He took us round the park, ensured we saw as many animals as possible. We were able to see 3 out of the big 5 including a Lion :). Albert had vast knowledge about each of the animals we came across and was able to tell share these knowledge with us. In all this trip comes highly recommended.
