“Very irritated having to wait one hour to buy the ticket to start the safari, because there were supposed to be four people on the tills and only two turned up. The actual safari was wonderful! The guide worked very hard to find the animals and was happy to stop when asked. There were specific roads so you couldn’t crowd around a specific animal, I liked that very much. The back drop of Nairobi was spectacular. Seeing the baby elephants was wonderful, the only downfall was that because it s the rainy season everyone was caked in red mud. It was also very dangerous when walking on the paving stones.…”

9.5Hrs Nairobi National Park MorningEvening Gamedrive 4×4 Van

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 6 reviews · from $80

James has earned special praise for his wildlife knowledge and patience. Hotel and airport transfers are included, while the $43 adult park fee is extra.

“It was great to see so many different animals on the tour. However, since it was a mixed tour, there were 6 participants, but the others seemed to be able to take it easy, whether it was for half a day or the whole day. Since it was a sunrise tour, I think it would take about 5-6 hours, but the elephant sanctuary was not in the plan, but we were taken there. I didn't have a contract, so I canceled it midway through. I arranged a taxi and it came to the airport. Please clarify the content. I paid $20 for a taxi.”

10.Nairobi National Park: & Elephant Orphanage 4X4 Jeep Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 5 reviews · 6 hours · from $130

Start with hotel pickup in Nairobi or Westlands, then ride an open-roof Landcruiser into Nairobi National Park. With an English-speaking guide such as Kelvin, look for lions, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, birds, and monkeys against the city skyline. Elephant orphanage entry requires an advance booking and is not guaranteed.

“This safari is one of the best I have ever done. On the one hand, Kelvin is a great guide who works hard to show you the biodiversity in the NP. On the other hand, the price-performance ratio is absolutely fine for a privately guided safari. The Nairobi skyline offers you a unique panorama and since the NP is not very large, the chances of seeing lions, buffalo and both species of rhino are very good”
