Great Start To Our Kenya Trip - This was a very interesting tour, giving us an opportunity to learn a little about various Kenyan cultures and their traditional way of life. Walking through the recreated traditional homesites helped visualize the stories of the people and how they lived (and still live in some cases). The traditional music and dance show was also very entertaining and fun to watch. I was a little hesitant to do the stop at the beads factory beforehand, but it was actually very cool to see how these beads are made from scratch and watch the women working on the many different stages of production (my daughter especially enjoyed this part of the tour).

An amazing time - I had the pleasure of having Dennis as my tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was creative with our itinerary during to unexpected rain and I was appreciative that he was conscientious for our safety in the midst of the unexpected political protests happening. My favorite experience on the tour was the Kenya Boma immersion. That alone made the tour worth while. The visit to the museum helped give some historical and cultural context to Nairobi and the city views from the top of the KICC were phenomenal despite the rain clouds. I would absolutely re my do this tour again and recommend to a friend.

Awesome Cultural Experience! - This was an excellent way to kick off my Kenya trip! I learned so much about the various tribes of the country, and the performances were incredibly entertaining. I also quite enjoyed my visit to Kobe Tough and was happy to support the women there. I highly recommend you spend an afternoon and book this tour!

One of a kind - There aren’t enough good things to say about Kelvin and our experience with him touring Nairobi, visiting the Kazuri Beads factory, and visiting the Bomas of Kenya. Kelvin is kind, educational, and thorough. If you want to have a truly unique experience and learn something at the same time, select this tour and ask for Kelvin to be your guide. He’s exceptional and just real wealth of knowledge and these places are memorable and worth the visit.
