Top Nairobi Day Trips

We had a great day out with Dismus and Frunk to Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate National Park. Our guides were very knowledgeable, informative and friendly. We felt like travelling with friends on a day trip and not taking part in a paid activity. This tour was private, so no big groups or anything like that. The guys were on time and made our journey enjoyable. It took about 3 hours to get to the lake. We had a short break mid-way at the Rift Valley viewpoint. Unfortunately, it was misty, but we managed to see the valley. Toilet, coffee, and gift shops were available there. After that, we continued our trip to the lake. We started there as the weather was closing in, and the guys said the lake tends to get heavy rains, so better to go there early. We had a great time at the lake. The weather was perfect, mostly sunny and very warm. We were handed over to the boat team. Our guide knew everything, all birds, all animals. We learned a lot. managed to see plenty of hippos, pelicans, waterbucks, and all sorts of birds. The lake itself is beautiful. I saw some pics before we went, but it was better than expected. After the lake, we went to get some bikes, which were transferred to the park entrance for us. We bought the tickets at the gate (I would recommend buying them a day before online and saving some time that way). The park is great, full of animals, and we got to cycle amongst them. I believe this is the only safari park where one can ride a bike. We went to see the gorge where, surprisingly, some hot springs were visible. Again, we learned a lot about the animals living there. Cycling back is a bit harder as it's mostly going up, so if one is not used to that in the heat, then better to opt for an electric bike. It's also possible to go by car, but what is the fun in that :) We really enjoyed the trip, which was great thanks to our guides. I wish we had more time to spend there with them. This trip is highly recommended!

This was the best cooking experience I’ve ever had. Nimoh’s attention to detail far exceeds any tour I’ve taken. From the details of the bus service to the produce market engagement with vendors and explanation of choosing quality vegetables was exceptional. Of course, her cooking skills are to be envied. What a delicious meal! This tour is not to be missed and highly recommended. Enjoy!

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 :)
