Best Experience - This was a, really good tour. We had the best tour guide and driver in Kelvin and Sammy. I didn't know what to expect with the game drive but we saw alot! We were safely up close and personal with Lions, hippos, bulls, zebras, giraffes, impala and others. The baby elephants were so cute. What a presentation. Feeding the giraffes were a fun experience. I would definitely book them again. Caveat : the price of this tour was well worth it. But you have to pay a park entry fee of $45USD in order to go to the elephant orphanage and game drive. So book the tour that has both the game drive and the elephants so you pay only one park entry fee. You have to register for ecitizen online. Do it in Advance of your tour so no time is wasted.

Great option for a day in Nairobi - We got to see very many animals, just outside the city. Got the sense of a safari in the park, and learned a lot from the elephant orphanage and giraffe center. It was fun to feed the giraffe's, and to watch the little children doing it! Lunch was at a nice spot, and the bead factory was an unexpected bonus.

Outstanding!!! - This was an amazing experience. Truly loved seeing the animals in their natural habitat. And we got to see two lions! The Elephant and Rhino orphanage was great as well. Got to be up close and personal with them. Also loved the story behind it. Same can be said about the Giraffe Manor. Got to feed them and take a lot of good pictures. Thanks to our driver and tour guide. Great and friendly people. Very knowledgeable regarding all the animals in the park. This was definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Fantastic experience for day of Safari, great guides - The guides were fantastic, took us on a game drive early in the morning, saw giraffes, zebras, a family of lions, and more. The main guy was an expert and gave lots of information on the animals. They also took us to the elephant orphanage after the game drive, the elephants were adorable. I must say though my favorite part of the day was the giraffe center, where they let you feed the giraffes! Our guide knew an expert at the giraffe center, and he gave us lots of guidance and made sure we all had good pictures and vidoes to show of us with the giraffes. Great day I would reccomend!

Excellent - Superb all round experience. The stop at the bead / leather shop and for lunch were not on the itinerary and at your own expense but there was no hard sell and you don’t have to buy lunch if you don’t want it ( but it would be good to say both are on the schedule)

Great tour - Kelvin was a great guide. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Only hiccup was the entrance fee to the National park. I had on several occasions requested information on how to pay this and had no response from the operator. Late the night before they sent the very complicated instructions and as the system is still new and has many bugs, it took over an hour and using three different credit cards to get our tickets. I would have preferred to have this further in advance so it was less stressful

A visit to the national park: fascinating animals despite some linguistic challenges - Timely arrival at the meeting point of the vehicle. During the visit to the national park, the information provided was limited, but we had the chance to see many animals 😍. The Guide, who was supposed to speak French, was not fluent in the language, but he was making considerable efforts.
