Amazing Nakuru experience - Visiting Lake Nakuru was an unforgettable experience, made even more special by our exceptional driver and guide, Festus Kazungu. From start to finish, Festus’s kindness, professionalism, and deep knowledge of the area made the tour truly remarkable. He had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife, ensuring we didn’t miss the rhinos, flamingos, and other breathtaking sights around the lake, all while sharing fascinating stories about the region’s history and nature. Festus went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and engaged, always positioning the vehicle perfectly for photos and treating us more like friends than tourists. If you’re planning a trip to Lake Nakuru, having Festus as your guide will take your experience to the next level!

Amazing safari with the friendliest guide - I was concerned at first booking a trip all day with a stranger as my guide. But Festus Kazungu made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I met him. We was very knowledgeable about the area and quickly picked up on what I was interested. I cannot recommend this tour and Festus highly enough! We saw everything, lions, hyenas, rhinos, fish eagles, flamingos, baboons, buffalo, giraffes.

Wonderful! Thank you, Festus 🙏🏼 - I had a wonderful and very full day with the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of touring with while in Kenya. Festus is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about wildlife and this makes a world of difference for wildlife tours. I also very much appreciated his kindness (he offered to take photos of me with beautiful scenery behind me) and upmost professionalism. The next time I visit Kenya, I will absolutely make sure to take another tour with Festus!

The best tour guide Festus - The tour guide was on time, arrived with a friendly patient demeanour. He was professional and kind, well educated on the animals and gave good information throughout the safari. He was very funny, and nice to chat with. We were able to see so many animals, to name a few - Antelope, Giraffes, Rhinos, Zebras, 2 species of monkeys, guinea fouls, water buffalo’s and so much more. He’s truly passionate about his job, and he doesn’t rush to ensure you have a lovely experience. He’s the best tour guide we’ve had out in Nairobi, Kenya. This is a safari worth doing..
His name is Festus Kazungu ! Was a pleasure

Amazing Time! - I just got back from this adventure yesterday with my family and we had a wonderful time! Our tour guide Black Santa was very knowledgeable and shared information about all of the sites that we were passing on our way to Nakuru National Park. Once in the park he made sure we got to see all of the different types of wildlife available. The photos are absolutely incredible. We ended the tour with a peaceful ride on Lake Naivasha where we saw even more wildlife. I 10/10 recommend adding this to your Kenya itinerary.

Amazing Safari Memories - Overall the trip was amazing with great views of animals and scenery. Our tour guide Samuel communicated early about pick up time and expectations. He picked us up on time in a comfy safari vehicle and was very courteous in explaining Lake Nakuru Park details and answered many of our questions. He included occasional stretch breaks during the 2 hour ride from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru Park. Once we reached the park he started providing lots of details of types of animals and birds we would see which he mostly spotted and pointed to us. He was constantly listening to radio and took us on game drives where we had a high chance to see Rhinos and Giraffe. He always gave us more time to soak in the views never rushing us to move forward. Lake Naivisha has spectacular views, highly recommend doing the boat ride with incredible views of many birds up close with hippos as well. Totally worth every penny, thanks to our guide Samuel for incredible memories we created on this safari.

Not bad, but not many flamingos nowadays - Had an enjoyable time at Nakuru National Park and Lake Navaisha. Sighted rare lioness and got to see many pelicans and flamingo. Flamingos were the differentiating reason I went Nakuru. But due to climate change, not many are there now sadly. Hence, will recommend to visit Nairobi National Park since it it much closer if you just wanna see land animals.
Also, my driver/guide, Victor, was amazing. Accomodating and an excellent driver.

Lake Nakuru Tour - Sam was an amazing tour guide and highly accommodative of any special requests! He was knowledgeable about the flora and fauna and had a special book for additional detail. We saw all of the top animals and got to see a feeding frenzy with a load of lions and hyenas. Amazing experience!
