We thoroughly enjoyed both the Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum Tour while in Nairobi. In addition to seeing these attractions, it also gave us the opportunity to something of the beautiful suburbs of Nairobi. The Viator provided guide/driver was very professional and the van clean and well maintained. It was fun to try to feed the giraffes at the Giraffe Centre, but be prepared for giraffe saliva on your clothes.
The guide at the Giraffe Centre was a bit assertive with regard to suggesting that we tip him just as we started the tour. We took the afternoon tour so we could do the elephant orphanage tour in the morning which we arranged separately with a taxi driver. This worked well for us, but be prepared for sitting in some traffic....just like rush hour in the USA.
