Incredible value for this fabulous tour! - 🙂 Our driver and guide, Eric, was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. He knew exactly when to enter the park so that we often had the best animal sightings with minimal crowds, enjoying the view from the van’s raised roof. We saw rhinos, ostriches, impalas, zebras, giraffes, and even hippos and crocodiles from a distance. The lion even woke up for us, giving us a rare sighting from afar.
‎
‎Tip: bring binoculars for the best experience! Also, have US cash or Kenyan Shillings ready to pay the entrance fees at the Elephant Orphanage, as credit cards are not accepted. The orphanage was absolutely adorable, and the Giraffe Center offered a fantastic opportunity to feed the giraffes. I highly recommend doing all three sites in one day.
‎
‎I was picked up at 5:50 a.m. and returned by 3:00 p.m. For lunch, the African buffet between the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center is delicious and well worth it. I loved the tour so much that I plan to bring my family next year to experience it again! 🙂

An Amazing Vacation - ‎I had such a fantastic day with Douglas! He was informative throughout the entire experience and even helped take photos of each of us with the giraffes. He was thoughtful and attentive, allowing us to enjoy the tour at our own pace.
‎
‎The tour is excellent value and highly recommended, especially if you have limited time in Nairobi it’s the perfect way to get a safari experience and still have time to rest or explore the city afterward. I was picked up at 5 a.m., and Douglas thoughtfully arranged for another car to take me home later at no extra cost, knowing I would be tired as the last stop.
‎
‎Thank you, Douglas, for your thoughtfulness and consideration—it truly made the day extra special!

‎An excellent trip, highly recommend. - This was an excellent tour. First and foremost, a big thank you to our guide, Johnson. He was extremely knowledgeable about the park, the wildlife, and Kenyan culture, sharing lots of information and patiently answering all our questions. We were lucky to see many animals, including lions, rhinos, giraffes, and hippos.
‎
‎A note for first-time visitors: wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, as it’s nature, sometimes you might see fewer animals, and that’s not the guide’s fault. If you book this tour, I highly recommend experiencing the full itinerary, including the elephant orphanage and giraffe center it’s absolutely worth it!
‎
‎One tip: if you’re from an African country, bring your passport for a discount on the park fee. I wasn’t aware and had to pay full price. Overall, a highly recommended experience!

‎
‎Later, we visited the Elephant Orphanage and learned about the incredible work behind rescuing and rehabilitating baby elephants.
‎
‎The next stop was both educational and fun, and we couldn’t get enough of feeding the gentle giants.
‎
‎The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly loved his job.
‎
‎They deserve full praise for creating such a memorable experience.

Professional, Friendly and Very educational - This company gave us an excellent full-day tour that was both exciting and informative. Nairobi National Park was the perfect place to start—we were lucky to see lions lounging near the road and a rhino grazing.
‎
‎Then we proceeded to the Elephant Orphanage, where the staff shared touching stories about how the elephants were rescued and prepared for release.
‎
‎The Giraffe Center tour was another highlight, especially the up-close feeding. Our guide made the entire day smooth with his knowledge, humor, and kindness. They truly understands how to combine adventure with learning.
