Top Kenya Safaris - page 75

This experience starts with a game drive through the Nairobi National Park, then visits the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre where you have the opportunity to feed the giraffes. Don't be put off by the idea that the National Park is akin to a zoo - it is not. Our guide was knowledgeable and was able to get us into great position to see and photograph animals going about their normal daily business without disturbing them. Not just the Big 5 (we saw all of these except the elusive leopard), but also a genuine zebra crossing, less common animals including a black backed jackal and a serval trotting along the road with her kittens behind. The elephant orphanage is apt to be crowded so grab a vantage point as soon as you arrive - there is no opportunity for interaction with these babies as the ultimate aim is to re-wild them so random human contact is not appropriate. The giraffe centre however is designed for interaction - it's unstructured though and your time with the animals is subject to their whims, so if they all decide to walk away you're left hoping they'll come back! It's very popular and busy. The warthog clean-up team on the ground happily accept any dropped giraffe food.

My guide Stephen Mutuku was extremely knowledgeable. Had a great vehicle. He was courteous and on time. As i was travelling solo i felt very comfortable. He was able to ensure I got the best photos of the giraffes and we had lots of time there. He made sure we arrived in plenty of time for the 1 hour feeding of the orphan elephants which only happens once a day. He made sure i was in the right spot for the orphan elephants.He gave me lots of information at both places..i had a lovely lunch and then had great interaction with the ladies at the bead factory. Can highly recommend this company. Had a great day

This is a very time efficient, budget friendly safari. Due to flight cancellation/ rebooking we were stuck in Nairobi for 3 days, so we opted for this tour. It's all inclusive and our guide Samuel was an excellent driver and made sure we saw the Big 5 as well as so many other animals. Accommodations / food is adequate. Net net the value for the price is terrific.
