Denish and Purity were fantastic guides. Informative and polite, Denish seemed to know exactly who to speak to and exactly where to go. The elephant and giraffe experiences were fantastic, as was the lunch and maasai market. Highly recommend. Thank you!
Very nice experience with 14 elephants orphans, close encounter with giraffes, and more
Faith was amazing. She was an excellent tour guide and answered questions that we would ask to her without hesitation. She was very informed on the history my brother, my mom and I were super curious and she went above and beyond! This experience wouldn’t have been the same if we had a different tour guide I believe that strongly! Faith is the one to pick!! We have family coming in a few days and will have them go on this tour.
I enjoyed my times with Mr Denish
Faith, was so knowledgeable, she had us in the best place at the right time. We got the best photos, and had the most amazing time. Thank you Faith for your amazing hospitality! We loved our time with you!
We had wonderful tour with Dennis today. He is vey professional, knowledgeable and patient. He came on time picked up at our hotel, arranged our order of tours to maximize the activity and timing. Even arranged extra by go through China Twon area to allow us first sight of it. Very appropriate. Thanks Dennis .
We had a half-day tour with Faith, and she was amazing! She made the whole experience so much fun and was a fantastic guide, giving us a great introduction to Nairobi. She made everything easy to organise, from finding the best spots to see the elephants to the giraffe feeding experience. Her local knowledge and friendly nature really made the day special. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you have a short time in Nairobi and want to make the most of your visit.
We had a wonderful tour to the bead factory, followed by the wildlife conservation where we saw a baby rhino, baby zebra, and 13 young elephants, and finished at the giraffe centre. Our guide Faith was fantastic, very friendly, funny, helpful and accomodating. She definitely made the tour a wonderful experience! Highly recommend :)
Faith was a knowledgeable and personable guide. We really enjoyed our time with her and appreciated how educational and fun she was. 10/10 recommend!!
Kelvin was fantastic. Could t have asked for a better guide. Had an all around great time!
