Cruzeiro was the perfect way to quickly get out of Nairobi and into the middle of a natural paradise in just a half hour of driving. Claudia was polite and informative when we booked, and able to accommodate our 7pm Saturday night booking for the next afternoon. Our driver/guide Samuel picked us up at our apartment on time in a safari van with a pop-up roof. We got the whole van to ourselves at no extra cost and were very comfortable. Once we started driving around Samuel did a great job of chatting up other drivers to find out where the good animals were grazing or hunting that day. He answered all of our questions with detailed information but also gave us the space to enjoy the sights on our own. And somehow while driving he managed to spot most of the animals before we did! At the end of the day he kept looking for 45 minutes after the park was supposed to close for some lions that we hadn't successfully tracked. We never found the lions but did end up seeing a hippo ambling out on a patch of vegetation at dusk because he hadn't given up on finding the lions. Overall, it was a great experience, and was actually less expensive than the other companies that we considered!

Dear Claudia,
Thank you
Rod
The guide was very friendly and helpful. I had booked spontanious on sunday for a day trip on monday and it was no problem. Claudia was very ferndly!
I have no hesitation in providing the highest recommendation possible for Cruzeiro Safaris. Claudia worked very hard to book the tour and to accommodate unforeseen changes on short notice. She was professional, responsive, and patient -- in particular given the constantly changing circumstances. James was my guide. He was knowledgeable and engaging, while letting me choose the level of interaction desired throughout the day. He endeavored to personalize the tour to my preferences to ensure a fantastic experience that I will never forget. Do not hesitate to choose Cruzeiro Safaris for your tour of Nairobi National Park.
