Best time ever!
Barbara_L, Mar 2024
Amazing, just grilling exciting and when you thought you saw it all they animals just made my day. I saw the flamingo or ostrich just wonderful. The tour guy knew his stuff very professional and caring ensuring we saw everything. I will do it again if in Kenya. I plant to have my family come to take this very life moving experience. Very educational tour. Thank you, Barbara
Disappointing
Celine_G, Mar 2024
Pick up was late, explanations in terms of payment procedures were unclear, resulting in unnecessary waiting time before entering the reserve, actual time of the safari was 2 hours and not half a day as advertised, much back and forth with the office to actually settle payment process.

U can see the wildlife just 30 min far from the city! Zebra, giraffes, rino family, a lots of different birds. Lovely experience

Great tour, but budget extra time
Jerry_A, Nov 2023
This was a great tour and Tony Cruise is probably the best guide out there. I wish Viator was more accurate in when they say you're being picked up and when you're going to return home. This was supposed to be a 5 hour tour, but at hour 5, we were sitting at a cafe/souvenir store that the tour company was presumably getting a commission for. I had a flight that evening, so I had to take an Uber home. Please just be honest with how long the tours last. Had I waited for the company to take me home, I would have been gone for 7 hours. Not 5. We saw 13 lions, 20 rhinos, probably 100 buffalo. The quality of the tour itself if top notch.
Response from Host, Dec 2023

Worth Every Penny...and Then Some.
Rotimi_A, Nov 2023
Lawrence was an excellent guide. He was very patient, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a great experience getting picked up and dropped off for the tour, and he made he he spent as much time as we wanted on the tour, even doubling back to some spots that we'd passed, which gave us a great opportunity to see some lions walking alongside our vehicle!! If you're planning a trip to Kenya anytime soon, I highly recommend this tour!

Our guide/driver Peter was awesome
Frederick_A, Sep 2023
I would have given this experience 5 stars, but there was a glitch with this tour. We knew we had to pay the entrance fee to the National Park using a credit card, but no one informed us to bring along a cell phone, which is needed for credit card approval. We waited for an hour until our guide could process our payment using cash, which we paid him once back at the hotel, since we didn’t have enough cash on us. Remember- YOU NEED A CREDIT CARD AND A PHONE. The tour itself was great. Saw lots of animals including a pride of lions. Our guide, Peter was outstanding and very, very helpful. Thanks Peter!!!

First class scam - economie class good experience
Thibault_G, Aug 2023
Great 4 hours experience in the nairobi national park. You will be pick up at your hotel, the organization will be approximatly 1 hour late cause to pick up each person of the group. You will be transported in the nairobi national park wich is such a good park although the proximity with the town. We saw zebra lions giraffe gnou and antillope. Don't expect to experience the African safary, the animals are just a few on the road to chill out. Concerning the organization, we did the tour on Wednesday 02 August 2023. We paid 145 usd/pers for "1st class services: Clients are picked and transported to the tour by jeep or by transfer vehicle to the shared jeep". Here's the experience: - you won't be in "first class" at all, you'll be with those who paid the economy rate of 60usd/pers. - you won't be in a jeep as mentioned. - you won't have wifi on board as mentioned. - you pay 45 usd to enter the park (this is mentioned in the advert). In conclusion, I recommend this tour with an economy ticket. On the other hand, the first-class ticket (worth more than double) is simply a rip-off. Nothing promised will be taken into account. Maybe check with another..
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Valued Client, We appreciate your detailed feedback and are grateful for your visit to Nairobi National Park. We apologize for any discrepancies you experienced with the first-class services.

Not for solo female travelers
Emily_W, Aug 2023
The tour started out well, the guide was very responsive and patient at the start when waiting for the airport. We went to the park and saw the big 3 (lion, buffalo, rhino) and the driver did his best to give us a good view. The vehicle was bumpy, but the roads in the park are uneven so some discomfort is expected. The most disappointing thing was the harassment I received from both tour guides. I was alone in the car with the first guide and he and I talked. I was being nice and trying to converse but he was looking at my chest. He later called me beautiful and I ignored him. I was shocked because I was in the car alone, but the other guests were close by and he had the audacity to treat me like this with other people so close. I do not want to think about what would happen if we were alone. The second guide drove me home alone after dropping a couple off. I felt apprehensive about being alone in a car with him and I was right to be. He asked me my age and if I was married and he said he wanted to be with me but was not good for me since he is much older. Which was disappointing because he seemed very kind and emotionally intelligent at first. I was left with a very bad taste in my mouth. I do not recommend this tour to women traveling alone. If there weren’t other people on this tour with me, I do not know what could have happened to me.

Safe and nice tour, solid option for quick stopovers.
Regina_S, Jul 2023
Quick visit to the National Park which does the trick if you only have a short time and want to get a safari type experience. Saw lions, zebra, giraffes, etc. pick-up/drop-off of the tour was a bit disorganized and don’t expect standout customer service. Also the $45 park entrance fee is not included in the price. Safe and nice tour, solid option for quick stopovers.
