Not worth it - sorry

2.00I went with 80 year old mom. Not suitable for people with mobility issues. Have to pay national park fee for a one hour exhibit. Not worth it if you will see elephants on a safari.
Just eh.

3.00My tour guide was 5 stars, but the tour itself... eh. The giraffe center was fine and the elephant sanctuary was fine, neither were worth the price of the tour, especially because you have to pay $40+ additional just to enter the national park to go to the elephant sanctuary. I would not participate in this tour again.

5.00Our tour was fantastic—we had the chance to feed giraffes and watch baby elephants being fed. Our tour guide, Joes, was wonderful: knowledgeable, accommodating, and made the experience even more memorable.
A bit over priced for...

4.00A bit over priced for what you get to experience. This park will be underwhelming if you go to a game drive / safari outside if Nairobi first.
