See lions, rhinos, giraffes, and more on a Nairobi National Park safari, with optional elephant orphanage, giraffe feeding, and local crafts.
“Initially, I was unsure about booking this trip, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences. I received the necessary information from the tour provider the evening before the tour, though I did have to follow up on WhatsApp to get the details. That said, we were fortunate to have an excellent guide and driver. There were only two couples in the vehicle (including us), which made the experience more comfortable and personalized. The driver was also kind enough to drop me at a different location upon request. During the safari, we spotted many lions, rhinos, and almost every possible wildlife species present in Nairobi National Park.…”

Review of a 3-day Maasai Mara group safari from Nairobi, with two nights’ camp lodging, game drives, meals, and a small group of eight.
“It was not a great start. I had to call the operator multiple times in order to be picked up - had I not reached out, I don't think I would've been picked up - that took 30-45 minutes from scheduled pick-up time - I even received a notification a Read more”

Review of a budget Maasai Mara safari from Nairobi, with Big Five drives, tent camping, Maasai culture, costs, transport, and practical tips.
“I had an amazing experience! Sammy was extremely kind, knowledgeable and the best tour guide I have ever come across. I felt day 1 was ok, however, day 2 made up for it. Please make yourself aware of the migration season for an even better experience. The accomodation is very basic, if you are a light sleeper I do not recommend staying on the camp site, I would advise staying in one of the lodges. I got to see so many animals and truly had a great experience. Thank you so much”
Explore Mombasa’s spice market, Old Town, fish market, and Fort Jesus with a private local guide on a flexible 2 to 4 hour walking tour.
“The tour was good for me. Humphrey covered the key features of the Fort Jesus site, and shared a great bit of details about the Portuguese, Omani, and British incursions in this area. We did not cover everything on the itinerary because Humphrey arrived 40 minutes late. To add insult to injury, when he arrived he didn’t come straight to where we were, he went to a kiosk to purchase something. It was the other tour guides in the area who identified him for us. Toward the end of the tour, we felt a little rushed because he had to meet another group. I was displeased about this because I…”

“Daniel is an exceptional guide! He knows the park and the animals so well that we were the first to spot the leopards. He was very patient with my obsession of giraffes and hippos. He explained many interesting things along the way. We had a beautiful morning with Daniel and I can't wait to bring my family to experience this tour. I'll be sure to ask for Daniel and recommend you do too!”

Sail Kenya’s coast by dhow, snorkel Kisite Marine Park, spot dolphins, eat Swahili seafood, and visit Wasini Island and Shimoni’s slave caves.
“Everything went pretty well. We saw the dolphins swimming while our boat and other tours' boats where surrounding them. The tour guides said that we might swim with them but that wasnt the case with them as it's just a matter of luck if they come by where we are allowed to snorkle. They sent us the photos the next day and we were very happy with everything. Thank you”
Cycle beside zebra and giraffe, hike Hell’s Gate Gorge, and add a hippo boat ride on this active day trip from Nairobi.

Pick a park, a lake or a stretch of the old coast.
