Nice safari for a short time in Nairobi
We booked a last-minute private safari with a Jeep through Get Your Guide and ended up with Giovanni tours (GT) and Peter as our guide. After booking the tour we got a text from GT with some additional information, also reminding us to pay the entrance fee of the park online (GT added a link). Our driver Peter was excellent on time with the spacious Jeep that we booked.
It was really nice to have Peter as our guide. He helped us to spot the animals and talked about them too. We were able to see 4 of the big 5, as Peter really tried his best to make sure we saw the most. The nature is also very beautiful and it really gives you a safari experience.
After the game ride we were brought to a place where you could lunch (at your own costs). I would recommend to eat traditional African/Kenyan food over there, as it was good food and clean.
Really recommend this safari, especially for a short time in Nairobi.

Last Minute Magic by Peter!
My friend and I booked a last minute Safari with Giovanni Safaris and Peter, our guide, graciously made it possible.
Even when there were many other vehicles, he made sure that we had a good view of the animals (without blocking anyone else’s view) Despite heavy rains and flooding from the evening before, we were able to have a lovely visit and saw a lioness, rhino, hippo, giraffes, a hyena, a secretary bird and a serval cat!!

outstanding experience
I had an outstanding experience on the Safari Tour. Our guide knew the terrain inside out. The tour moved at a perfect pace, never rushed, always attentive. I felt safe, well-informed and genuinely thrilled throughout the day. Seeing so many animals in their natural habitat was unforgettable. I’d book this tour again without hesitation — it delivers exactly what a safari should.
