Perfect Blend of Safari Wildlife and Cultural Experiences - This was one of my absolute favorite tours during my 3 week trip! Even though many people claim the park is small, it didn't seem that way. We rode around for hours and were able to see so many animals including rhinos and lions. The view we had of the lions at this park was far better than one of the larger parks I went to. I had an early AM pickup from the hotel and we arrived to the park right before dawn. The safari vehicle was in great condition. I was hoping for a vehicle where the roof opens up and that's exactly what we had! The driver raised the roof before we entered the park gates, and we were off on the safari adventure! The driver went above and beyond to make sure we were in the best spots to view wildlife. After the safari, we stopped for a delicious lunch buffet at a nearby restaurant with indoor/outdoor dining. The food was great and the staff very pleasant. We then stopped at several markets where we witnessed some cultural singing/dancing and I was able to shop and pickup some beautiful Kenyan clothing and souvenirs. We also stopped to meet some of the Maasai Mara tribesmen and got some great photos! Arrived back at the hotel in the early afternoon from what felt like a full day. This was an excellent tour. Would book again in a heartbeat! Book it, you won't be disappointed!

Great option if you don't want or have time to travel far out of the city. - Our guild Watson was in close contact with the other guides during the tour so that we could see as many animals as possible. We saw a lot of loins up close. Also white and black rings. And some beautiful giraffes. Unfortunately no leopard or chitas as there is only 2 leopard in the park. The Nairobi National Park is a good option if you don't have time to go to Amboselli or Masi Mara. It doesn't feel as wild as you see the skyline in the back, but a great time saving option.

We saWe saw the Big Five just in Two days- exceptional planning - If you want stress-free safari planning, this is the company to go with. Our driver was knowledgeable and funny, making the long transport hours fly by. The accommodations were clean and luxurious. Every meal was hearty and satisfying. We saw the Big Five in just two days! Fantastic value for money.

Perfect Family Safari- Educational, Fun and Well-Organised - We booked a family safari with Kenya Tours and Safaris and couldn’t be happier. Our kids were thrilled with all the animals seen in Maasai Mara. Our guide was engaging and informative. The meals were fresh and tasty, and the transport was smooth. Great value for money overall!

Must do Safari experience in Nairobi for a close encounter with wildlife - It was an astounding experience seeing so much wildlife so close to the city. Watson was a wonderful guide and driver. He manoeuvred the car with skill so we could have nice photos without crowding the animals unlike some other drivers who were too close to the lionesses and almost blocked their path. We appreciate the sensitivity shown by Watson to the animals. The park is amazing and we did 2 morning safaris. One with Watson and another with Obed. Both safaris were wonderful and it’s a must do when in Nairobi. Thank you.

Never Again absolutely awful experience - Even though they claim to pick you up from any Hotel even at the airport hotels.
Sending a bolt to pick me up isn’t good enough!
And then getting sent home in an Uber claiming that three other people were in the city, and its opposite way is not what I paid for!
So a heads up for anybody that has an airport Hotel if you’re going on this tour, DO NOT DO IT!
I spent two hours in an Uber going down some of the shadiest streets stopping off in a compound to get gas.
Not quite the Safari experience that I expected
When you say that you provide driver pick up and drop off at any location.
Never in my travelling life, have I ever experienced anything so uncomfortable and unnerving

False Advertisement... Extra fee for pickup - They do not pick up at all locations in Nairobi. After booking, I was told I had to pay an extra fee for my location (which is only 15 mins away from the park entrance).
I was told I should just "book directly" on their website for a free pickup. But now I'm out the cost of this trip and trip advisor is not allowing me to get a refund.
This is a false advertisement! Do not book through this!
