“All services delivered as promised. Thank you!”
With a last minute booking the night before our tour, we were worried that the details might not come through. But everything worked out so smoothly! The guide was right on time and got us into the park early before the crowds. We found all 4 of the big 5 that are in the park and he even went out of his way to find us lions. The part we liked best though were the beautiful and scenic landscapes that made for some of our best pictures. The baby elephant tour add on was so fun and the animals were very cute. The trip to Carnivore restaurant afterward was also great. My wife who is a vegetarian had plenty to eat, and I – a meat eater – got to taste a number of unusual dishes. The whole trip was very expensive, but that is what a good tour plus convenience costs. I would suggest to the operators that they find a way to include park tickets into their costs so that all of the expenses are taken care of at once. But other than that, everything was top notch.

“Wonderful tour in Nairobi”
We wanted an African Safari experience and originally thought about going to the Masai Mara region. After we were informed of the poor unpaved roads and uncomfortably long drive we opted for the Nairobi National Park safari tour. I was not disappointed. We saw lots of wildlife including Hippos, Giraffes, Zebras, Gazelles, Baboons, Water Buffalo, Many different Birds and a glimpse of two Lions. We opted for the 6am pick-up with lunch. The “Carnivour Restaurant” was really enjoyable. The staff and food was excellent. The skewers of meat just kept coming. There was atleast 15 different BBQ meats before I saw one repeated. The “fixings” we’re also great.
