Amazing wildlife and outstanding guide

5.00I was delighted to go on a safari with David. They have dubbed it: Nairobi National Park–A Safari Adventure at the Edge of the City. Seriously, this is a hidden gem that every visitor to Nairobi should experience. If you don't find it surreal to watch wildlife roam freely with skyscrapers in the distance, then I don't know what is. And all thanks to David, for his sharp eye for spotting animals and ensuring we didn’t miss any key sightings. We were lucky to see a pride of lions resting after a hunt, which was unforgettable. He also helped us take great photos and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Great trip....highly recommended!

Our guide, David, made the journey incredibly smooth from start to finish. He knew the park routes so well that we avoided crowds and had uninterrupted views of animals. We saw lions, giraffes, buffalo, and various bird species. David also shared interesting facts about conservation efforts in Kenya, which made the experience more meaningful. I appreciated his patience and willingness to answer all our questions. A truly memorable day.

From the moment we entered the gate, nature surrounded us completely. Our guide, David, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife conservation. He explained everything clearly, from animal habits to park ecosystems. We were lucky to see lions, zebras, ostriches, and even a cheetah in the distance. He ensured we had enough time at each sighting for photos and observation. This tour is a must-do if you are visiting Nairobi and want a real safari without traveling far.

He arrived on time, was very friendly, and had a great sense of humor that kept us engaged throughout the drive. We managed to see lions resting under trees, elegant giraffes feeding, and even a black rhino from a safe distance. David’s ability to spot animals quickly made a huge difference. I highly recommend this tour for families and solo travelers alike.
