Review of Nairobi National Park, elephant orphanage, Giraffe Centre, and Kobe Beads Factory, with costs, timing, tips, and honest advice.

“Lucky and Johnson were the perfect double act for us! From the moment they picked us up and made us feel welcome, we knew we were going to have a great day. We booked this super last minute, but would not hesitate to book with them again. They both had great knowledge of the Nairobi National Park, Johnson was in constant communication with spotters and got us to the animals before the crowds had arrived. We saw 3 out of the big 5 starting with Rhino's then Bison and an amazing experience seeing a male and female lion! Lucky was very knowledgeable about the animals, giving interesting well researched facts…”

Then a lion sauntered through the people in vehicles and soon after another calm lion just sitting among us!!!! Wow! Guide was so kind and a great planner to make the most of the tour!”

Zorg er wel voor dat je de entree voor het park van tevoren online boekt, dit scheelt veel geld! Er werd ons verteld dat dit niet kon maar dit is zeker wel mogelijk. Al met al een aanrader!!”

“Terrible! Biggest neglect! In the advertisement the tickets are a price, when it comes time to pay at the car park, the driver says it is another value.. we were waiting more than 1 hour in the car because they didn't have enough tickets for the van staff, they arrived super late on this tour of the elephant and we didn't enjoy anything, we couldn't take any good pictures because there were too many people in front. I don't recommend it, it's not worth it, we drive more than we stay in the parks”
