Tripadvisor review (Copied) : Tour to Giraffe Center from Nairobi
This is a small park that offers the wonderful experience of feeding gentle beautiful and
endangered giraffes. Great place to pop into to learn about the giraffes and the people who
are passionate about saving them. Great first photo oops too!

Great experience!
Tripadvisor review (Copied): Nairobi National Park Tour
I first realized I had made a mistake and booked in the afternoon instead of the morning. Customer service was great and changed the booking on very short notice.
We were picked up at the hotel by a very friendly and experienced driver/guide who knew every corner of the park and explained about the different animals. His driving skills was definitely impressive, some of the roads there are not for beginners.
I would absolutely recommend Cruzeiro Safaris. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Now we all have to contribute to taking care of our planet so we can keep these beautiful animals for the generations to come

The guide was very punctual. He was informative about the wildlife at the park. He also tried his best to look for a lion and he did it!

Our Guide Stephen was phenomenal. We saw nearly every animal from a few feet and had the opportunity to make amazing pictures. Our Guide definitely had plenty of experience and was moving very secure. Definitely a 5/5 safari experience for me. The pick up and drop off was a fabulous extra

Honestly the best idea booking with these guys! We booked last minute at 8pm the night before for a 4hour safari and received all info straight away about the pick up, the guide, everything! Our guide was Stephen who picked us up at the airport on time, carried our luggage and stored it in the van and took us back to our terminal on the way back in time for our flight home. The tour was amazing, we saw 24 rhinos , lions, ostrich, zebra , you name it! Nairobi National Park is an amazing place to visit if you have a long layover at NBO (ours was 11 hours and we had plenty of time). Stephen was great at spotting the animals and actually the tour was longer than 4 hours! He even helped us pay the park fee, which wasn’t working on our phones. Thanks so much Stephen and Cruzeiro Safaris, really recommend them. T

Peter was a really great guide. We had a great tour and there were only two of us with him. He always had the right instinct, so we were able to see lots of animals.

Der Guide war sehr gemütlich und auch sehr lieb. Wir haben Löwen sehr nah gesehen. Wie haben leider nicht so viele Tiere gesehen, aber dafür konnte der Guide nichts. Der Bus muss dringend ausgetauscht werden, Touren sollte man damit nicht mehr anbieten. Und eine Klimaanlage wäre sinnvoll. Das Giraffen Center war großartig. Wie konnten Giraffen füttern.
