We had an amazing, action-packed day with Julius, who rearranged the schedule on the spot to based on our early arrival, traffic, and minimizing crowds. Julius was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all of our sights, on top of having a very clean, comfortable van. Cruziero Safaris was super responsive and easy to work with, even with our last minute request when other plans in Nairobi fell through – special thanks to Claudia in marketing who helped us figure out the best tour options for our specific layover timing. – Clara

“An excellent tour with a great guide”
Margaret our guide was very informative and engaging. The property is in very good order. A lovely venue for weddings too!
Poor Ms Blixen was badly advised – probably by stupid men!
