★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 878 reviews · from $45Our pick

Review of Nairobi National Park’s half-day safari, with wildlife, city views, hotel pickup, guide tips, costs, timing, and key drawbacks.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 874 reviews · from $80

Review of Nairobi National Park safari with optional elephant orphanage, Giraffe Centre, and Kobe Beads visit, including costs and practical tips.

“Lucky and Johnson were the perfect double act for us! From the moment they picked us up and made us feel welcome, we knew we were going to have a great day. We booked this super last minute, but would not hesitate to book with them again. They both had great knowledge of the Nairobi National Park, Johnson was in constant communication with spotters and got us to the animals before the crowds had arrived. We saw 3 out of the big 5 starting with Rhino's then Bison and an amazing experience seeing a male and female lion! Lucky was very knowledgeable about the animals, giving interesting well researched facts…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 394 reviews · 3 days · from $199

Review of a 3-day Maasai Mara safari from Nairobi, with Big Five game drives, Maasai culture, tent camping, costs, and practical tips.

“Safari was an unforgettable and awesome experience! We saw so many animals: lions, cheetah, leopard, hippos, giraffes etc. We never would have expected to see so much diversity. Tent acommodation was authentic and nice, lots of cute monkeys in the area. Electrity was down sometimes but its understandable. They had a back up generator in the mornings and evenings. Guide was a great driver. Although it would have been nice to hear more about the animals and local ecosystem. The separate option to visit the Maasai village was an unique experience but very touristey and maybe a bit staged. A big recommendation for the safari tour itself but perhaps consider…”

The tour per se was excellent Room for improvement: WhatsApp communication to arrange pick up and instructions came a bit late and was misleading. Also, it would be great to have a big tank with water to refill water from, so we can avoid small plastic bottles”

“Everything went nice. Pickup time was punctual, transfer to the starting point was also good. Our guides were very nice and funny, but what's most important- we felt safe for all the time even swimming in open water. Nice thing was that one of guides had a go-pro, so we received movies and pictures from the trip afterwards. We had a luck to meet lot of dolphins. Boat was in a good shape, not overcrowded so that's another good thing. As it was said, toilet was available. Island tour was also nice. One slight disadvantage was that we marked polish guide, and none of the crew did speak polish. For…”
