Top Nairobi Day Trips

Gabriel was an absolutely outstanding driver and guide! From the moment we met him, he was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about sharing his country with us. He answered every question we had with incredible knowledge and gave us fascinating insights into the history, culture, and daily life of Kenya. What really impressed us was how he made our ambitious itinerary possible in a single day without ever making us feel rushed. He knew exactly how to plan the route efficiently while still giving us time to enjoy each stop. Along the way, he pointed out places of interest, shared local stories, and made sure we got the most out of our experience. Beyond being an excellent driver, Gabriel has a fantastic personality. He was kind, easy to talk to, professional, and made the entire day enjoyable. His knowledge, warmth, and dedication turned what could have been just transportation into one of the highlights of our trip. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, knowledgeable, and truly cares about providing an exceptional experience, I can’t recommend Gabriel highly enough!

I booked this trip as a solo traveler and was pleasantly surprised that it was a private tour! Simon was great - he explained about the culture and area we would be visiting as well as more about Kenya during the drive. When we got to the market - everyone seemed to know him! It was a great experience with very few tourists. In the village, everyone was so friendly. Elizabeth was amazing and so easy to talk to. I had a great time seeing the houses and how they, and the furniture, are all constructed by the women (!!). We shared a traditional meal of ugali and it was great. I did read ahead and brought some pens and first aide products and they were greatly appreciated.

David was absolutely perfect, so knowledgable and fun. We had a salad safari- every animal we could throw into the mix we saw.-and learned so much about each of them. I like that all the entry fees were included in the price-just makes everything smooth for us. It was three of us and David, in his car, a perfect size. David knew to preorder our lunch to save time, knew the weather patterns well enough to know when to get in and out of the boat time frame, and knew the right people for all the boat ride and the park guide. Really it was a perfect day.

Amazing experience, park packed with animals. Willy our guide was so helpful and you could stand up in the vehicle to get a great view. He said we were very lucky to see almost everything in our wish list - rhinos, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, cheetahs, lions, buffalo and even a fleeting view of a leopard as we were leaving. Incredible bird life too - I would have liked to learn more about them as well. The team were very friendly and proactive with their communication and worked around a delayed taxi from the airport to make it work. Bring your own water and if you want to spend a long time looking at each point consider booking a private tour as this moves quite quickly (which suited me perfectly).

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! The tour was well‑structured, informative, and offered a fascinating look into every stage of Kenyan coffee production, all set within a beautiful and peaceful estate. What truly made the tour exceptional was our guide, Elvis. His passion for coffee, deep knowledge of the process, and engaging way of explaining each step made the experience unforgettable. He was friendly, patient, and always ready to answer any question with enthusiasm and clarity. The coffee tasting at the end was the perfect finale, made even better by understanding the craft behind every cup—thanks to Elvis. If you’re in Nairobi and want a memorable, educational, and genuinely enjoyable activity, the Fairview Coffee Estate tour is an excellent choice, especially with Elvis as your guide :)

Our driver was friendly and extremely punctual—he was already there when we arrived, even though our plane landed 45 minutes early. He also contacted us via WhatsApp the day before our flight, which made me feel very comfortable and confident about meeting him upon arrival at Nairobi airport. Great start to the trip.

Had a wonderful time site seeing and shopping with our host Obed. He arrived on time and gave us a fantastic overview of the area and what to expect on the tour. He was very accommodating and made sure we arrived at KICC in time for view a beautiful sunset. He took very nice pictures with his camera and shared the photos with us. The vehicle was clean air conditioned and had very nice African music playing during the drive for entertainment. He narrated sites and shared a lot of historical information along the afternoon as well as answered all of our questions. He was very friendly fun and made sure the experience overall was great. The tour was wonderful. Please do book this one you won’t regret it.

If you are interested in Nairobi's (and Kenya's) past, this is the tour for you! Ezekiel was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Nairobi, so we managed to learn a lot in the few hours we spent with him. It was wonderful to be able to walk through parts of Nairobi and have Ezekiel point out to us the significance of various buildings and monuments, it certainly made everything so much more meaningful.
