AMAZING TOUR! - I had the most wonderful day with Black Santa Safari and Festus Kazungu as my tour guide for the day. He arrived early (5:45 am) to pick me up from my hotel at scheduled 6 am pick up and took me on a full morning safari through Nairobi National Park. We saw so many animals and Festus stopped to talk about each animal and the park in great detail. We stopped and looked at animals and scenery for as long as I liked before moving on. I elected to add the elephant orphanage and giraffe center to the tour for extra cost. After the safari, we went to the elephant orphanage for an incredible show then we stopped for lunch and coffee. Festus did not rush me at all and let me enjoy everything at my pace. We ended the day at the giraffe center and then stopped to see the Kobe beads factory. He dropped me back at my hotel at 3:00. Overall, Festus was an incredible guide. He shared many insights into life in Kenya and Nairobi. I recommend this tour fully to anyone traveling to Nairobi and plan to do it again the next time I am back in Nairobi with friends and family.

Good trip to the Nairobi National Park - The day trip is perfect is you have a couple of hours in Nairobi. The driver was on time and the service was great. However, the car is not a proper landcover or 4x4 it is more like a small bus car. I also do not recommend this trip is you are pregnant as the trip is really bumpy.

Great park with a great guide - The National Park was amazing but the tour was made so much better because of Perfect Safaris, and especially my guide, Festus Kazungu. Booking was so easy, they came on time and Festus was knowledgeable and personable. Ask him about his favorite bird. It’s a really funny story!

Great experience - This safari was well spent. It was well worth it and I would recommend to others. Albert was on time picking us up, friendly and informative throughout the tour. My group saw a lot and I appreciated that they communicated with us before the day of the tour and recommended that we go earlier on the day in order to see more.

Day trip in Nairobi! - We had great tour with pickup to the Nairobi National Park, Giraffe center with lunch and a break at the Bead making center. It was a great day and we saw many animals up close. Santa, our driver and guide was great, and the open top van was really great for the park!

There is a Cheetah there! Can you see it? Blah - Sadly, I took this trip a second time just to have binoculars. The animals are so far away and without them you can’t see them well. Mainly, Lions and big cats are impossible to spot in the high grass without binoculars. I agreed with the office staff to rent them but they forgot, which made this pointless. The driver tried his best!
