Wonderful experience.

It was a very pleasant experience. In the park, we saw hippos, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, warthogs, and other animals. Watson, our guide, gave us a lot of information about it... he tried to track a lion, but the lion preferred to sleep instead of showing itself! He contacted us the night before via WhatsApp and came to pick us up at our apartment. The elephant orphanage and the giraffe center are also very interesting. The bead factory is wonderful, a business run by women to help other women. A wonderful organization. Truly a beautiful day.

Great family day with an excellent guide, Watson

Highly recommend this Nairobi day trip. Communication was good re pick up and our guide, Watson, was amazing all day. We saw lions, rhinos, a crocodile, giraffes and zebras first thing, and Watson was a brilliant driver around the Park. He got us a great view at the elephant sanctuary and giraffe feeding also good. Bead factory was ok, at least no pressure to buy! Overall a great day

Amazing experience in Nairobi!

Watson picked me up from the hotel and it was an amazing day! He was very knowledgeable about the park and a very motivated driver to allow us to see as many animals as possible, especially the lions. He also knew everyone and is very connected to the park agents, other tour drivers, and those who work at the giraffe center and sherrick wildlife trust, which made everything smooth and easy! Highly recommend.

A good time!

This was such and incredible tour. Watson was a great guide! The day started off with a pickup from our accommodation. Then we went to the National Park where we showed our tickets that we pre purchased the night before for about $86. We were able to see lions, buffaloes, white rhinos, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and a few other animals. After that tour, we went to the Elephant Orphanage where we paid 2,600 Ksh per person (they accept usd). Then we went presentation lasted for about 1-hour. Guests were not allowed to touch the elephants for their own protection. Then we went to the bead factory to learn how beads and leather craft goods are made. Beautiful works of art. We had a buffet lunch which was delicious. The lunch was maybe $12 per person. Lastly, we feed giraffes which was our shortest stop. All in all we had an excellent time and Watson was great!
