Thank you James. - James, our tour guide, picked us up this morning on time. Lions, giraffes, hypos, rhinos, zebras, ostriches, and many other animals were visible. James found the animals with what appeared to be a "natural GPS." He would identify them and alert coworkers who were transporting other people. Thank you James. Highly recommend Kenya tours and safaris

Great guide, professional and timely. - Watson was a wonderful driver and guide. He contacted us the day before with arrangements and picked us up right on time, following the planned schedule to a T. We told him we had just come from Masai Mara and seen all Big Five but wanted more rhinos so we focused on that and he delivered! We even saw rhinos mating and the park rangers requested our video to keep in their record as they keep regular numbers on the rhinos and want to know if she conceives. After a great game drive, we got to the Elephant Orphanage exactly on time for a great viewing spot and then Giraffe Centre afterwards. We appreciated Watson's professionalism and experience and would certainly hire him again upon a return to Kenya.

Great safari, lots of animals! - We decided to do this tour while transiting through Nairobi and it was so worth it! We got picked up from the airport on time and were even taken to get some food before the tour. The tour surpassed my expectations! I couldn't believe how many animals we saw, I lost count of the amount of rhinos, lions and giraffes etc. (I understand this is also due to luck sometimes, but also the willingness of our guide to go deep into the park) We saw lions, gazelles, giraffes, impalas, water buffalo, crocodiles, hippos, zebras, little monkeys, warthogs, rhinos, vultures, a python and a jackal. Thank you for a great day!

Lovely safari experience in Nairobi. - It was a good experience. And our guide, Watson was well experienced and knew the good safari spots in Nairobi and Kenya overall. However, I would recommend the full day trip instead of the half day for anyone interested. -J0hn

Hellelulja. - If you're already in Nairobi make sure you book this excursion by yourself and save 50 dollars. The entrance fee to the park is not included. The website is deliberately making this unclear. I only saw this on the second page in the voucher, after buying the ticket. We didn't have a 4×4 van as was promised. I could have done the same exact half day safari, in the same van for much less if I had done it through the locals. Long live Kenya, f viator and TripAdvisor.
