All Nairobi Tours & Excursions in 2026

Our tour to Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (Elephant Orphanage), and the Giraffe Centre was an unforgettable experience and the perfect way to explore Kenya’s wildlife — especially if you’re staying in Nairobi. We were picked up exactly on time from our hotel by Watson, an amazing tour guide and a wonderful person. From the very first moment, we knew we were in great hands. During the drive, he shared so much about Kenya’s rich history, culture, and of course the uniqueness of Nairobi National Park — a full safari experience located just about 20 minutes from our hotel. It’s truly incredible to have such wildlife so close to a major city! We started our game drive at 6:15 AM and continued until 11:40 AM — and what an experience it was! Nairobi National Park is an excellent place to do a safari in Kenya, especially if you’ve just landed in Nairobi and don’t have time for a long trip to Amboseli National Park or other distant parks. It offers an authentic safari experience with breathtaking views and incredible wildlife sightings. We saw so many animals up close — and I truly mean very close! Lions, several giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, crocodiles, hippos, eagles, impalas, baboons, warthogs, ostriches, and many more. Watching these magnificent animals in their natural environment is something completely different from seeing them anywhere else. The photography and videos we captured were simply amazing. Watson made sure we were always in the best possible spot for viewing and capturing these beautiful moments. After the game drive, we headed to the Elephant Orphanage, where orphaned baby animals are rescued and gradually rehabilitated before being released back into the wild. At the time of our visit, there were: • 12 orphan baby elephants • 2 baby rhinos • 1 baby zebra All of them absolutely adorable. The caretakers fed them while explaining their personal stories — how and where they were rescued, and how they are slowly prepared to return to their natural habitat. It was both emotional and inspiring to see the dedication and love behind this work. We even had the amazing opportunity to pet them — a truly unforgettable moment. Our final stop was the Giraffe Centre, where we got to feed 4–5 large, beautiful giraffes. Being face-to-face with these gentle giants and feeding them by hand is such a unique and joyful experience. There’s something magical about being that close to such graceful animals. By the end of the day, we returned to our hotel feeling grateful, inspired, and amazed. A huge thank you to Watson for his professionalism, punctuality, knowledge, and warmth. He made the entire experience smooth, educational, and incredibly enjoyable. If you’re in Nairobi and want an authentic safari experience without traveling far, this tour is absolutely perfect. It combines wildlife, conservation, education, and unforgettable close encounters — all within a single day. Highly, highly recommended!

Excellent private safari tour around Nairobi National Park. Joseph was our guide, he was lovely and very knowledgeable on the park, animals and Kenya itself. We saw Lions, Cheetah, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, impala, ostriches and more. Would recommend to anyone viewing options!

Such a wonderful day! Saw SOOOOOOO many animals, even big cats! Our guide Peter was great also. We even got stuck in a hole and had to be rescued by other drivers in the park but was all part of the adventure. Driver was knowledgeable about the animals and helpful.

I had a truly wonderful experience. Since my flight got delayed and I found myself in Nairobi airport for 7 hours, I decided to make use of my time and booked the tour very last minute. My safari guide/driver Innocent was an amazing guide and I got to see so many animals including multiple rhinos very up close! Best spontaneous layover adventure ever! Highly recommend this tour!

The experience could not have been better. Julius knows his stuff and if you are a bit of a nerd he is the guide for you. His personal interest in the wildlife and personalableness meant this was a great day out. An interested, knowledgeable guide that is relaxed and good fun is the holy grail. The private tour was absolutely worth the flexibility. Can't recommend highly enough.

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.

This is a great experience! The show is well put together and the dancers are amazing!! There is a photo op at the end so get your camera ready!! And it’s nice to tip them too, we almost missed the tip basket. Now the food!! The food was great and the selection of meats!!!! They have a long list of meats to taste. They come to your table to cut meat slices on your plate. I tasted ostrich, alligator, and quite a few more. Our guide Peter was great, he got us there safely in heavy traffic and gave us a small tour of the grounds before we sat to eat. Don’t miss this one. The live band caters to different countries represented in the crowd. They sang a couple Asian songs for the families that were there and they were really happy to hear her sing live. I thought that was really cool!

The tour was excellent and our guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend seeing all 3 of these amazing places! We saw many animals in the national park! Now for the negatives, the tour operator Viator contracted with was an hour late to pick us up which caused a lot of stress, but after an intervention, all was worked out and the rest of the tour was fabulous.
