Better than I could of imagined. - My love and I had a blast. It was very informative and fun. We saw so many animals. Rhinos, giraffe, jackals, zebra, buffalo, crocodile, hyenas and hundreds of birds. The trip to elephant orphanage was amazing!!! Got so close to elephant and even got to touch. The giraffe exhibit was pretty cool. Got to feed giraffe and take pics. Good was delicious for lunch. An affordable buffet. Definitely will do again. The driver was super friendly and very accommodating.

Our amazing tour - The experience was amazing. Our tour guides Henderson and Simon were super helpful and gave us a lot of information about all of he animals we saw. One thing I might add is on the website it says lunch not included while the lunch was good you didn't really have any other options. Overall this tour was amazing I learned so much and made memories.

Fantastic experience - My safari experience was wonderful! I loved every bit of it as my tour guide Harrison was patient and explained important points to note about the park and animals.
I had a thoroughly satisfying experience as a first time visitor in the National Park.
Bonus point : Harrison helped me get home faster after the tour and it was the kindest thing ever. Thank you Harrison!

Fantastic tour with awesome Jonathan - What a great experience - Jonathan was funny, loved our jokes and very accommodating.
We saw Rhino, Lion and he certainly made up for the Giraffe centre being closed by showing us Towers of Giraffes.
He can drive like a machine and made sure we were always comfortable.
I would recommend this for a great day out.

Highly recommended tour! - We had the most amazing day ever! We got to see hippos, rhinos, giraffes, zebras just mentioned a few! Harrison and Haman was happy and friendly with so much knowledge of the park and animals. Few tips before doing this, bring some snacks if you didn’t get eat breakfast first, and bring some warm clothes for the early morning.
We got to visit the giraffe center and Elephant orphanage which was both adorable and informative. The whole tour ended with a visit to the beads factory, that was fascinating indeed.
We would definitely recommend doing this tour!

Best park tour in town! - If you are looking for the best of the animal spots in Nairobi, you MUST choose this tour!!! The 4 hour park visit was wonderful - just be sure to get your tickets online before you go. The Girafffe Center visit was busy but very easy to find a spot to feed the giraffe. Last but not least, The Sheldrick Elephant and Rhino orphanage was FANTASTIC!!!!
But the best part of our day was our driver, Joel. He is a wonderful man who clearly wants you to have the best time. He went out of his way to accommodate us after a very rocky start caused by a last minute Hotel change. He was professional, courteous, and kind. Thank you, Joel!!!
One note, be sure you have lots of shillings to cover each location, especially if you have a big group. The notes tell you costs in USD but all fees have to be paid in Kenya shillings.

Buyer beware. - First off, our driver John was great and did a fantastic job of figuring out where the animals were and we had a great time with him.
The booking organization has some critical challenges though - the subcontracted tour company has changed, but the contact information on the website has not (and thus I received no response for quite some time even after reaching out). I specifically booked this tour so I could enjoy a meal at Cultiva, as it was shown on the ticket (which cost more than many other tours), however I was told this was "up to a group decision" once I was on the tour. The office did not reserve a table for us (so please make sure you do so yourself), which was not the driver's fault, but a pretty big failure that thankfully we resolved when one of the other passengers called and booked a reservation last minute. We were also not told until we had booked the non-refundable tour that the Giraffe Center was closed (this was known 3 days prior) and there was no refund offered for this loss (and the ticket itself indicated the Giraffe Center would be included even though it was closed).
Be wary of this operator, they subcontract and don't maintain quality with their subbrokers.
