Great introduction to Nairobi highlights. - Really enjoyed this excursion. Joe, who was our guide and driver, was personable and knowledgeable and guided us around the venues. Found us an excellent spot for lunch. And don't overlook the Bomas outing. Four different primary and secondary school groups were in the audience when we attended and seeing young people experience and engage with their own history and culture was invaluable. The giraffes and elephants are adorable, too. And the bead excursion introduced us to local working women. Great outing!

A Taste of Kenya in a Day - A full day of Kenyan experience with Stephen, a personable, courteous and highly knowledgeable tour guide. Travel from place to place in his air-conditioned van. Stephen was adept at heading us through crowded tour groups to gain best views of, or access to, elephants and giraffes. He gave great explanations to enhance our knowledge. Shopping opportunities at various points to buy artefacts and souvenirs. Excellent al fresco lunch (not inclusive of tour price) at a restaurant near the Bomas of Kenya auditorium, where we were entertained for two (2) hours by Kenyan national dancers and singers. Door to door pick-up from and delivery back to our hotel. A thoroughly enjoyable day and heartily recommended.

Another Joyous day - This is a perfect experience for someone looking for a positive, educational opportunity of Kenya. A true success story on the return in numbers of the Rothchild Giraffe and in the success of the rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction into the wild of elephants. It's taking care of what we have. And Bomas teaches the Importance of traditions, to keep them alive. It was fascinating to see elements of song and dance that are influencing generations around the world today A must see. Thank you to our driver, Joe, who was amazing. He made the journey a huge success with his knowledge and the traffic bearable

Awesome experience - We Took the Giraffe Centre, Elephant Orphanage y Bomas of Kenya Day Tour on saturday 18/01/25 with Stephen Mutuku as our Guide. First of all he was so punctual, he actually arrived 15 min before the hour we agreed. The first stop was the GC and we liked a lot to fed the giraffes. Second stop was the Elephant Orphanage, it was amazing and touching to see the huge labor this centre does with the Little elephants. We ate lunch in a beautiful restaurant with a pretty garden, the food was so good. Then we visited the KOBE TOUGH beads & leather factory, were we could see all the process of the necklaces made of ceramic. The last stop was the bomas of kenya show, it's really worth it. Stephen was so kind with us and our 5 year old kid. Thank you Stephen for such an amazing experience, don't doubt to book this tour!!!

An amazing way to see the best of Nairobi in one day!Best day tour filled with wildlife and Kenyan hospitality & culture - Wow what a sensational tour! If you have a day in Nairobi and want to experience a mix of wildlife and culture, book now! Stephen our guide was absolutely brilliant. There were just 4 people in our group. He made sure we were the first to the Giraffes to feed them before the crowds, he ensured we had the best spot to view and photograph the elephants at the orphanage. During these visits he took great photographs to ensure our day was captured on film. It was my husband’s birthday and Stephen secretly arranged a cake for him.. The ladies at the Kobe bead factory ensured that the celebration for my husband’s birthday was done in true Kenyan style. Dancing and singing “Happy Birthday”. The dancers at the Bomas of Kenya were great too.. A full day of animals, culture and fun.. Made possible by our wonderful driver and guide!
