The experience was great i would 100% recommend! - We were picked at our abode at around 10am and left for Nairobi National Park. Joe was so accomodating, he even let us borrow his binoculars at some point. He was quite educating and taught us a lot about wildlife. He was also experienced as he knew strategic locations and how to locate the lions and rhinos using the radio walkie talkie. It was much fun! It was a one day trip so we started our way back at around 5pm
