5.00This is a tour you must do if you are in Nairobi. We were glad we decided to do it. The national park was exciting . We saw Rhinos,hippos, Giraffe, zebra herds, many types of deers,ostrich,lions,lionesses,hyena, etc.wish we could have spent another hour there . The baby orphanages and giraffe center were good but more of a show . Bead factory visit was good but all products were over priced. We were not taken to the organic farm mentioned in the tour buy to shopping area and a lunch.The lunch was 12 USD per person and we can give just pass marks for that. Kevin the tour guide and the driver did a great job. The cons were the communication with the tour operator as I was asking few days ahead on how to purchase the entry ticket to the park and no response after 3 messages also. We had the answer from them at 8 pm before the day of the tour on how to book the tickets on ecitizen web site which was bit complicated and costs as much as the tour . The Sheldon elephant orphanage and the Giraffe center charges you another 35 USD which was mentioned by the company. Over all a great tour.
Awesome guide and driver

5.00The guide and driver were very knowledgeable and professional. Made every effort to get us into a position where we could see the animals better. The road was very dusty.
A great day!

5.00After booking, there was contact with the organizer by mail. Later this was done via WhatsApp. The organizer was very friendly and helpful in booking admission to the national park. When the day of the trip came we were picked up on time by a very nice and expert guide. The guide showed us all the sights and gave us tips to get better and closer to the animals in make places. He saw the animals very quickly in the national park and always brought us quite close to these places. Thank you very much for the great trip. I can only recommend this trip. Gladly again
