Top Nairobi Day Trips - page 20

These were real Massai people, and we got to understand their culture. Everyone in the village made us feel like we were old friends and valued guests. Both our driver (Ezekiel) and the Massai chief (Alfred) were helpful, knowledgeable, warm, and welcoming. We loved it.

George was a delightful companion driver. He had to wait a long time for me to do my arrival visa, he was gracious and kind. I had no real plans for my layover, except for a National Park drive, he made sure to fulfil my requests, a Kenyan lunch, a walk around the city, he helped make sure I went to a currency exchange shop, waited for me to finish my park tour and delivered me back to the airport in time. I really enjoyed my afternoon with George, he gave me a lot of insight into Kenyan culture. I am so glad I had him as my guide and companion.

This was an absolutely unforgettable trip and a true bucket-list experience. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Gomez, was fantastic. We explored Hell’s Gate on electric bikes, which was a unique and thrilling way to experience the park. At one point, we stopped just a few steps away from wild zebras and even managed to take a selfie from a safe distance. We also saw giraffes, warthogs, buffalo, gazelles, and many other animals up close in their natural habitat. Being on a bike rather than in a car made the experience so much more personal and immersive. Gomez also showed us the canyon that inspired Mufasa’s death scene and Pride Rock, both iconic backdrops from The Lion King. That added a special touch to the day. A big thank you as well to David, our driver. He was calm, professional, and made the journey comfortable. He didn’t mind our sleepy, grumpy moods at 7 am [Chuckle]. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for something different from a traditional safari. Riding through Hell’s Gate was surreal, and getting so close to the wildlife made it an experience we’ll never forget. If you want to truly connect with nature and see animals in the wild, this is the way to do it.

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.

We had an amazing experience visiting the national park. Our driver, Joseph was there early to pick us up. During the drive he made sure to share his knowledge of the park and the animals. His experience made the drive an enjoyable experience, he knew the right spots to find animals and he communicated constantly with other guides too. Overall a great experience that we would recommend.

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.

It is a truly great experience. James was so amazing, he made sure we had the best experience. He found all of the animals and took extra time to either drive to them or wait until they appear so we could get a good photo. For example we found 2 cheetahs but they were sleeping behind a tree. After a while James saw an elephant coming and knew that would alarm the cheetahs. They sat up and we got great photos. James spent at least two extra hours ensuring we had the best experience and drove way out of his way to find lions. He’s a great driver and very good personality. The lunch location and Masai village were also great!
