Best. Layover. Ever.

Published on Mar, 2025

Peter was an amazing guide. He turned a layover into its own exciting trip. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and kind. The tour company got in touch with me early to discuss my pickup and was responsive when contacted. The giraffes were my favorite, but all the stops were nice for a quick day tour of Nairobi.

Nice day

Published on Feb, 2025

Our guide was Peter. He did a good job. My travel companion and I thoroughly enjoyed feeding the giraffes & petting the baby elephants. We didn’t see the rhinos. The morning rush hour traffic was awful. This led to us having to hurry to leave the giraffe center so there was no time to look around the gift shop. I left my sandal shoes in one of the cars and Peter went back to get them. Bead factory was nice. We’re all about supporting women! Welcome song and dance was fun! However I think it’d be nice if they provided to option to paint or make your own beads/ jewelry. I had a whole blast at the Bomas dancing with the dancers! The Bomas are truly not to be missed.

A great way to see 4 of Nairobi's treasures.

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour is an excellent way to see 4 of Nairobi's absolute treasures. Highly recommend: in particular the Giraffe Center and Elephant Sanctuary. Be prepared to be amazed!

Giraffes, elephants, beads and Bomas.

Published on Jan, 2025

The giraffes and elephants were such an awesome experience. Our guide Stephen was great and willingly volunteered to take pictures of my friend and me together. I now want to adopt an elephant! The lunch spot was lovely. The beads, while i wanted to support them, was too much of the same thing and I ended up buying very little. The welcome dance was great though. Bomas was good.

Great Day in Nairobi with a Great Guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Thank you Stephen, our tour guide and driver, who kept us on schedules and very knowledgeable about Nairobi and all our stops. He also took some great photos. Would highly recommend requesting Stephen as your guide while on this tour.
