Great half day safari - Amazing morning Safari in Nairobi. Watson was really experienced and knew his way around. We saw all the animals in the park and he knew where they were and we were not surrounded by other cars which made the experience better. Definitely recommend this safari company for this tour or others!

Last minute trip which was excellent! - Great half day tour that picked up at hotel at 5.30am. Arranged and booked rather last minute on tripadvisor whilst in Nairobi for work, added hotel collection details, was a little nervous but I needn't have worried! Once confirmation was emailed through I communicated via WhatApp and pick up straight forward. Four of us in total, all women and we enjoyed very much. James our guide was excellent, friendly and very knowledgeable. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend!

The Safari Experience! - Recommended to participate if one is interested in observing safari animals nearby from the car. Fortunately, we were able to view lions and rhinos very close by. Animals in Nairobi Safari Park might not be too afraid of coming by cars (or cars are disturbing their habitats closely enough). Total of approx 4 hours game drive to watch several animals

lots of animals!!! but could be more descriptive - we were so fortunate to see a ton of animals on our safari! The baby elephants were so cute and feeding the giraffes was awesome. The morning portion in the park is actually quite short… But James maximized the amount of animals we saw during that time. I do feel like he could’ve been more descriptive and keeping our group queued in about what we were doing and when. it’s clear he was very knowledgeable about the park and where to find the animals, but I feel as if he spent most of his time talking to other guides to tell them where to go rather than explaining anything to us. Unless we ask specific questions, he didn’t really give us any information at all. Half of the information that we learned was actually from someone else on our safari that just happened to speak Swahili in order to translate what James was telling the other guides.

no one showed up - I booked this the night before as the tour option was still available on line, but the local operator did not show up. I woke up eary to be there at 530 am for nothing. It was disappointing. I am not sure who dropped the ball (I am assuming the local operator as they are supposed to pick up the order). Watch out when you make the last minute reservation. Maybe the best call them to confirm.
