Peter, our tour guide, was the most amazing tour guide we'd had in our time in Nairobi. He is incredibly informative and thoughtful of what we wanted to see. Would highly recommend this tour, and consider yourself lucky if Peter is the tour guide!

Great vibes

Brandon_T, Apr 2024

Henry was great and I loved that he didn’t pressure me to do anything. He gave helpful tips and educated me on all the animals we were seeing. It was a ‘bad’ day and I still saw all kinds of animals.

Amazing Amboseli.

Hitesh_G, Mar 2024

We had a great trip to this amazing National park. Evan’s was a wonderful driver and guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and polite and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and could see as much of the wildlife as possible. Expect a long drive. Don’t expect to see the snow capped peak of mount Kilimanjaro or all the animals you want. You will see them if you are lucky and the chances vary with the seasons. We were very happy overall and would highly recommend this trip.

Fulfilling experience of Amboseli, with someone passionate about the park and the Masai

janelle_f, Mar 2024

I loved the tour. Peter was so amicable, professional and knowledgeable about the wildlife, the Masai and the land. I learned a lot during the trip. It was so easy going and full of beauty! Grateful for this experience. Even though it was a single day trip, it was just right. Extra driving but a full experience of everything.

Amboseli and Massai Village was a dream! Thanks Peter!

thzistru, Feb 2024

Our tour guide was Peter! He promptly picked us up at 4:30 AM at out hotel and we were on our way! We saw several animals including wildabeasts, birds, giraffes, elephants and more. Peter knew exactly where to take us and before we entered the park, we got photos of Kilamonjoro! It was breathtaking. Peter took his time listening to the types of animals we wanted to see and then took us to areas where he anticipated they would be. We did not see any big cats because they were not in the park at the time, but we enjoyed ourselves. The highlight of the tour was the Massai Village. The people were warm and the village leader Tui Tui was a delight! He showed us the Massai way of life and at the end you have the opportunity to support their village by purchasing their handmade items. It was so enriching and I'm so glad we had Peter there with us!

Unforgettable experience!

Jason_O, Feb 2024

Excellent communication, fair price, guide arrived 10 min early, very knowledgeable. Highly recommend them. Would travel with them again

Worth It!

Ashley_W, Dec 2023

Well worth the money, drive & early morning. Expect to be picked up early to avoid the traffic on a 4 hour drive through interesting villages & landscapes. We were lucky enough to see Mount Kilimanjaro early in the morning when we arrived as it quickly clouded up & disappeared. What a sight to see with animals in the forefront. We saw so many different animals including giraffes, zebras, elephants, water buffalo, hippo, wildebeest, monkey & baboon, gazelles & impala, and so many birds due to the wetlands. Amazing views from the top of Observation Hill. Peter, our guide and driver, was incredible. So kind & knowledgeable about the country, the park, and the animals. We enjoyed a nice lunch in the park. Expect to pay an extra $60 each for park entrance online. The Masaai Village was interesting but also cost $20 each and they are very interested in making money & selling you their handicrafts at an extremely high price. I would recommend skipping it if you have no interest in being hassled for money unless you want to purchase their goods. Definitely bargain your price. A long day but incredible views & experience. Highly recommend. Water is provided but bring extra & sunscreen!

Good tour

Bablo_D, Jun 2023

First time visitor in Kenya. Had a good full day tour of Amboseli National Park near the Kenya-Tanzania border. Drove down with Mr Peter and saw elephants, zebras, impalas, hyenas, lions, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, wildebeests, flamingo birds, buffalos, and Mount Kilimanjaro. Tour firm needs to do Maasai Village tour as per itinerary.

Most excellent experience!

leilah_H, May 2023

Absolutely amazing wildlife viewing in Amboseli National Park! What an awesome day and experience. Our guide Peter was a gem. I highly recommend this company and guide for a wonderful experience:)

Thank you Peter!

An Excellent Day Safari with Julius!

JamesP_T, Mar 2023

This was an outstanding day safari. Our driver / guide Julius was on time and drove safely the entire day. His keen eye was able to see Mt Kilimanjaro through the haze long before we did. Without Julius, we might have missed that spectacular view! His keen eye and experience continued to serve us well in that he spotted numerous giraffes, hippos, and other animals before we did. Julius went above and beyond to assure us an excellent safari and to maximize our ability to see as many animals as possible. I would highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Julius as your driver / guide! Well done Julius.

Worth the drive, great guide

James_J, Dec 2022

Absolutely worth the early start and long drive. Seeing the ice of Kilimanjaro through the clouds was something special, and Amboseli itself is amazing for seeing wildlife of all kinds. On my drive, I was able to see two cheetahs on the hunt - a really special experience. The tour guide, Ebhantus, was excellent - very friendly, knowledgeable, and had really good insight into the park and the wildlife there. Best tour guide I had during my time in Kenya and highly recommend him!

Don’t debate, do it.

Paris_R, Oct 2022

Very far and very early, but I extremely worth it! Tour guide was great, we got to see lots of amazing animals (even the lions), and watching Lion King just won’t be the same after this.

Amazing tour!!!

Haley_H, Oct 2022

Kim was an awesome guide! This tour was the highlight of my short Nairobi trip. It was nice to get out of the city and see TONS of animals- lions, hyena, giraffes, hippos, elephants and MANY more. He knew where all the animals like to be, so no time was wasted driving around. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Greetings Haley, Thank you so much for booking your trip with WASILI KENYA SAFARIS. Thank you once more for the five star rating.We are so grateful that you couldn't fault any of our services.You are welcome again for greater Kenya safari experiences.

So many elephants!

Danielle_P, Jun 2021

This was a last-minute day trip for us when I heard how many elephants you could spot, and it did not disappoint. There are designated trails you have to stay on, so sometimes it was a little hard to see the animals, as they were were far way. But towards the end of our drive we got lucky and a family of elephants was right on the trail and it was magical! Julius was our guide and he was friendly and knowledgeable. I would love to visit again in the future - this time I would spend at least one night in the park, as it's about 4 hours each way from Nairobi.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

tristan_s, Mar 2020

Very good guide, very friendly, very good driver and he taught me a lot of things about Kenya. We saw a lot of animals. I have eaten in a good restaurant (and paid 37 $ with the drinks). I recommend this tour.
