I have such great memories with Virgin Explorers! I’ve used their services for trips to Aberdare, Ol Pejeta, and around Nairobi on different occasions, and I’ve always been very impressed with their service. For a one-day Nairobi tour, I requested a visit to Nairobi National Park, the elephant orphanage, the Giraffe Centre, lunch, and airport transportation. They arranged everything with perfect timing, and every guest was extremely happy with the service. Our guide was also very knowledgeable and made the experience even more enjoyable. 😊 They are reliable, responsive, and always do their best to make my requests possible. Their customer service is excellent, they respond quickly, and their prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend Virgin Explorers to anyone looking for a wonderful, well-organized, and hassle-free experience in Kenya! 🌿🦒🦁

We started with a homestay experience in a village about 2 hours from Nairobi to Matatsu, and then scheduled a Nairobi National Park safari, Mombasa sightseeing and snorkeling. I was able to enjoy all the activities with peace of mind from start to finish, being able to adjust to the day of travel, budget, and situation, and being able to respond to sudden local problems! It was the best trip that I could fully enjoy by myself ^_^
Glad to note we made your solo trip memorable. Thank you for trusting in our services
Mr Virgin (Clement) was excellent. Everything was organised as per request and communication was spot on. I would highly recommend using Virgin Explorer.
Thank you Amit for feedback, we look forward to hosting you again.
My friend recommended Virgin Tours for the Nairobi Safari drive through, and I am very glad I chose to book with this company. I ended adding additional tours (city tour, giraffe center, and purple tea farm) through Virgin and they made everything hassle free for me during my two day stay in Nairobi. Clements was very communicative and responsive, and provided different options from hotels to tours to help put my itinerary together. He was also very flexible. In fact, I had to change my travel dates after initially agreeing on some dates but he understood and was easy to work with. Trust Virgin will make your trip in Kenya a dream come true. And, they will work with your schedule and budget. Plus the guides they work with are very knowledgeable and I learned alot about Kenya safari, history and culture. When I come back to visit, I'll definitely be booking with them.
Thanks Lissette for your feedback, we do look forward to welcome you and your family some other time. Thanks for giving us chance to serve you
Virgin Explorers, a travel agency, arranged a three-day safari tour for us in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. I want to emphasize here the driver/guide they sent. He picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi, showed us around the park, and dropped us off at our hotel. We enjoyed great conversation throughout the tour. He was very experienced, knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about wildlife and Kenyan culture. On the other hand, he was also eager to learn new things from us and asked questions about our Japanese culture. We shared our interests with each other. We will never forget the animals we met, but also the man who showed us around and entertained us a lot. We are truly grateful to Virgin Explorers for providing us with such a memorable experience.
Thank you for your review ,we are glad to note our driver made your trip memorable .
It was really nice experience. I could see zebras, lions, giraffes… In Japan, we can’t see them in the wild so it was really amazing.
We are glad you enjoyed safari with us.
Amazing tour guide , patient and happy! Pick up was right on time.. was persistent to show us all animals and move around the safari several times
Thank you Basma for your response, we are glad to know you enjoyed our services. We look forward to having you engage more for your kenyan travel experience Regards Clement
Clement connected us with the best safari guide ever (Francis) and was literally the best safari i have ever been to. Francis is well informed about the park and the animals, and will do anything to ensure you spot the big 5s. We still can’t believe we were lucky enough to spot 3 cheetahs
Thanks Brenda for trusting in us for years. We truly appreciate.
We were picked from the agreed location on time, began a safari at Nairobi National Park at 6:30am then went to David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage at 11 to 12pm where we got a chance to get up close with the baby elephants. We later went to giraffe Centre where I kissed a giraffe for the first time in my life. The final locations was catching a sundowner from the KICC Helipad. This was the best day I have ever spent in Nairobi. I highly recommend Virgin Explorers
Thank You Eddie for booking with us we appreciate your feedback. looking forward to have you travel with us anytime you need a holiday.
