We had an amazing time with Jackson exploring Kenya! We had a 13 hour layover in Kenya and the tour group was very responsive and tailored and itinerary for us so we could go to the giraffe center, Nairobi national park, and tour the city of Nairobi. We had so much fun and learned so much, cannot recommend this tour enough!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled Jackson helped turn your 13-hour Nairobi layover into a memorable Kenya experience. From Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre to the city highlights, it’s great to know the flexible itinerary worked perfectly. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Thank you Jackson for the amazing day and for being so flexible and easygoing. We had a great time and learned so much about Nairobi. It was great. Karura Forest was the best addition. Thank you.
Very good experience, clear communication, very goog guide and The visits where amazing. We had an pick up at 8 and The visit lasted until 15. Recommandabel if you have a stop over.
Jackson was an outstanding driver! He was professional, friendly, and made our experience in Kenya even more enjoyable. We highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again the next time we visit Kenya.
Jackson was an excellent tour guide. Such a good way to see Nairobi on a transit
Jackson. Jackson. Jackson. The tour was amazing but Jackson the guide made it 100x better. Excited, energetic, friendly, kind, he was what made this tour remarkable.
Great experience and wonderful company. Driver was excellent and very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend going with this company.
I had a great time on this tour! I booked kind of very last minute, however, the organizers were very helpful and accommodating in building the tour program for the day. Also, many thanks to my driver who was driving very safely and was actually quite knowledgeable about the places I visited. I definitely recommend this tour for a short or longer stay in Nairobi

The tour operator was very flexible. Driver Jackson was educational & entertaining. You can choose how many hours you want to be in the tour. Our hotel was not amongst those listed, but the tour operator was very flexible and accommodating and made it happen. We were very grateful for that. The driver Jackson made sure we went to all the places listed and gave us a really good tour of Nairobi. He was very informative of the history, and his English was really good. The tour operator kept in constant contact with us prior to the tour, and made sure everything was fine, then checked in at the end of the tour. Jackson, our driver also took us to a very good local restaurant- as we requested that, and the food was delicious. At the national park, he did his best to ensure that we saw many different animals. All in all we were able to accomplish a lot in a short time, and had a great time. We never felt pressured. We learnt a lot about Nairobi and enjoyed this tour.
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great and flexible experience exploring Nairobi.
