A busy show at the NEC with lots to look at but too many people crammed into hall 3. The stands with the show cats were impossible to see due to the crowds. At lunchtime the wait for food at Subway was 50 minutes, which was a real disappointment when this was not anticipated. The queues were ridiculous and I was becoming impatient and irritable. Overall the experience was ok but I think tickets over sold and over priced.

The experience was awsome. Went there for my birthday the live band dance performance was Awsome. Everyone very respectful will recommend
What a fantastic experience! My driver Edwin was amazing. He picked me up early and was waiting for me right when the show ended. The service was friendly and food great tasting and good quality. The dancers of the show were very talented. Highly recommend.
This is a well organised and fun night out. Picked up from our hotel as agreed and brought back afterwards without any problems. The food was not great (but not awful) in our opinion, it looks lovely but the meat was mostly tough and the accompanying salad was not great. I think it was here we were given a small plate of fries to share but I may be confused with somewhere else we went. But, the Cat Dancers were amazing. Just brilliant. Dancing and acrobats - think human towers, high energy dancing, bright colours, traditional dress. Superb. So I would recommend going for sure, one of the highlights of my five days in Nairobi. But for me the food is very average (or perhaps I was unlucky and went on a bad night or maybe I am just too fussy).
It was so interesting and fantastic👍 The meats they were providing was really delicious and wonderful! I would recommend it to my friends🤗 Thank you for the show!
We were excited to attend the Safari Cat Dance Show, but unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by poor logistics and lack of communication. Our originally assigned driver (James) passed us off to another driver. The new driver arrived over an hour late to pick us up from our hotel. When we finally got to the venue, he simply dropped us off without any instructions or guidance — even though the show had already started. He seemed unaware of the schedule and didn’t provide any information on what we should do or where we should go. By the time we were seated, we had missed most of the event, which was very disappointing given that this was the main highlight of the evening. To make matters worse, the driver left without giving us any contact information. After the show, we waited for over 90 minutes again with no idea of how we were getting back to our hotel. Everyone else had already left. Thankfully, the venue manager was kind enough to step in, contact the company, and arrange for another driver to pick us up. While the show itself seemed enjoyable, the overall experience was frustrating and poorly managed. I would not recommend this unless the company improves its transportation coordination and customer communication significantly.
This is a great experience and a very well-spent evening. On top of that, the food being served is absolutely delicious (there is a big variety of meat with some exotic options available). Also, I need to praise the company (Cruzeiro Safaris) for going the extra mile for me. They had problems contacting me because I booked via an OTA but they did not give up and eventually, we got in touch - great job guys!

We hadn’t eaten and had no plans for our first night in Nairobi- This ticked all boxes. We were picked up by a driver called Sam who put us at ease ,he picked us up from the hotel and messaged his number plate so we knew what car. Such a lovely guy with lots of information about Nairobi as we drove to the place. The food -wow it just keeps coming go hungry guys it’s worth it (meat lovers galore.) The dancing is fantastic and the atmosphere was lovely.Thank you

Arrived in Nairobi at about 5.00pm on a Friday. Our driver picked us up on time and even though there was alot of Friday evening traffic he got us there by 7.15. We were impressed by the BBQ racks and had a good table near the show. The meat, accompanying sauces and extras were tasty and enough to feed a very hungry person. Desert serves were tasty and modest. Live music was pleasant. The cat dances were energetic and while not quite traditional african dancing it had energy, drums and a flavour of Africa.
We are delighted to serve you, we look forward to be of service next time to offer more exiting experiences and explorations in Kenya. thank you
