Nairobi National Park & Sheldrick Tour - Was an excellent tour of Nairobi National Park. Lots of Rhinos and Giraffes, got to see Lions and lots of other animals. They were able to pre-book entry to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, this too was an excellent experience.

Amazing experience - We would like to sincerely thank our guide VICTOR for providing us with an unforgettable experience during the tour. His knowledge, passion, and kindness made every moment interesting and enriching. We greatly appreciate his dedication, patience, and the way he enthusiastically answered all our questions. Thank you for making this trip so special! We will definitely recommend you to all our friends and look forward to another adventure guided by you again.” Thank you for taking amazing photos of us.

Exceptional Safari – Highly Recommended! - We had an unforgettable experience during our safari in Amboseli and the National Park. Everything was perfectly organized. A huge thank you to Victor, our super driver, for his deep knowledge of the parks and his exceptional kindness that made our journey truly memorable. We are also very grateful to James, without whom this excursion would not have been possible. We highly recommend this private safari to anyone looking for a unique and authentic adventure.

We have a very good experience. Seeing nature at its best - Mr. Jimmy was our tour guide at the Nairobi National Park. He's very charming and endearing personality should be highly commendable. He made us feel very comfortable all through the ride, and he explained to my children the history of the national park. The animals' origin in the conservatory and many details we didn't know before our visit. It was really insightful and educational. Afterwards, he was kind enough to take us to the souvenir shops, we had lunch, and we ended the exciting visit with a couple of photographs. Indeed, my family will always remember this memorable trip.

Safari with Samir - We had Jimmy organise the entrance and car and Samir was our driver. He found all the main animals within a few hours. We then drove round and doubled up the viewings. Samir gave really great facts and was well catered for family with kids.

Visit to Nairobi National Park - I had a really great experience, especially with Jim guiding us. Before we even arrived at Nairobi National Park, he took the time to explain everything we needed to know, which made the visit even more enjoyable. His driving was smooth and professional, and it’s clear he’s passionate about his work. My kids were very happy around him and felt comfortable throughout the trip. I would gladly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a peaceful and well-guided driving experience.

Amazing team and beautiful views - What can I say…. Beautiful experience with the most amazing crew. Christine organized this trip very well (everything was detailed and in perfect timing) and Victor was an extraordinary driver and he had an answer to all of our questions… We were lucky enough to see Mount Kilimanjaro clearly which was AMAZING. Lots of animals and beautiful nature. Just amazing vibes with amazing views, definitely will book with them again.

- We visited the park on July 23rd. Victor was our driver/guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable of the park, the animals and where to locate the animals. Overall a very pleasant experience thanks to Victor!

Great times NNP & Sheldrick. - I would have given 5 stars but for an important thing. My wife and I chose the private NNP and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, but no one, either from Jimfire or Viator told us that we have to arrange advance tickets to Sheldrick. Imagine our surprise when on the days of the tour our driver, Victor, asked if we already got the advance entry ticket. Victor told us it would be hard to get same-day tickets but we could try when we got there. So we began our early morning drive to NNP. The experience at NNP was super great. Victor was knowledgeable as he imparted interesting facts about the animals we saw. Near the end of the tour, as we're driving to Sheldrick, we met James from Jimfire. He greeted us and told us he managed to get a couple of tickets for Sheldrick from a scalper, so it cost us USD 5 more per person. In the end, we had a lovely day at both NNP and Sheldrick. We would recommend this tour to anyone -- just double-check everything to ensure smooth operation. Thanks Victor & James.

Scammed in Nairobi National Wildlife Refuge - I think it is only fair to tell you that my husband and our family have been choosing VIATOR for our traveling experiences for about ten years! We have always been pleased, until this time. We were scammed from the moment we were picked up for our tour at Nairobi National Wildlife Refuge. The guide, James, called me to tell me Stephen would be picking the four of us instead of him. When Stephen came in a run-down, torn up seats, Matutu, instead of what was pictured in your ads, I knew something was wrong. When we arrived at a littered parking lot outside the park, we met James, who then told us we had the opportunity to upgrade to a lovely Landcrusier (complete with roll up sides) as pictured in the ad I signed up for. The fee would be $20 US dollars per person and they were adding two additional strangers to our “private tour”. Once on the Landcruiser, we began our drive into the park. We stopped at the gate to pay our non-citizen fee $89 US dollars per person, to enter the Park. Our tour was to include a 3-4 hour tour of park, and then to stop at the Giraffe Centre. The park tour was amazing, and James was mentoring Stephen to become a tour guide. James was able to stop at key locations and we saw lions, leopard, Giselles, ostriches, warthogs, zebra, impala, hippopotamus, giraffes, water buffalo, and more. However, as soon as our park tour was over, we asked to be able to shop in the Gift Shop at the park. He agreed, but said he first had to take us to a special stop at a Masai Market! It was outside of the park and NOT part of our tour. We arrived as musicians played music and were lured inside a huge market and encouraged to find something where the clerks would give us a good discount. When the four of us and the two strangers said they didn’t need anything, we all stood outside by the truck. The owner came out to ask us if there was something he could do for us. We said we’d like to go. James/Stephen drove us to the Giraffe Centre. There we were told we each again had to pay $20 US dollars per person. I was angry at this point, having lost a half hour at the Masai market. James demanded that we go back to the gift shop, however, we were out of time and I told him we couldn’t go anymore! He took us back to the rickety matutu that we came in and Stephen drove us back to our hotel. James had the audacity to ask us to leave him a good review on Google or on Viator. We all just chuckled and said goodbye. He may have gotten an excellent tip, had he and Stephen not scammed us from the get go. This is my third trip to Kenya, and I’m very aware of the corruption in this country and in Nairobi, however, Viator is a known and trusted company! I hadn’t planned on being scammed by your company! James assured me that YOU, Viator, take 20% of their sales, so they have to make a living. I scoffed at him and told him that he was NOT up front and that he scammed us. My friends, all US citizens, all agreed that Viator should know about this. The other two strangers in our tour told us that they are from Nairobi. They thought it was also unfair to make us upgrade to a nicer vehicle, and to take us to the Masai market without permission! We will NOT book another tour with Viator in Kenya. This is the biggest joke of all trips I’ve ever taken! Shame on them, and shame on you! Please do something so that more tourists aren’t scammed! You have been notified!
