I loved seeing all the animals! It was such a great time. Festus Kazungu was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable about the park and animals. He was also very kind and warm. He absolutely made the tour!

Amazing safari with the friendliest guide

Nils_M, Dec 2024

I was concerned at first booking a trip all day with a stranger as my guide. But Festus Kazungu made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I met him. We was very knowledgeable about the area and quickly picked up on what I was interested. I cannot recommend this tour and Festus highly enough! We saw everything, lions, hyenas, rhinos, fish eagles, flamingos, baboons, buffalo, giraffes.

Beautiful surroundings and plenty of wildlife in just one day

Camilla_T, Jan 2024

We had an excellent day around beautiful, peaceful Lake Nakuru. The national park offers much more than the famous flamingos; we saw plenty of wildlife while enjoying the surroundings. Samuel was a highly knowledgeable guide who really made an effort to give us the best possible wildlife sightings. The boat trip on Lake Naivasha was a pleasant change after many hours of driving. Also a great trip (and great guide) for bird lovers

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello Camilla, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you had an excellent day at Lake Nakuru and enjoyed the abundance of wildlife. It's wonderful that Samuel provided knowledgeable guidance and ensured you had the best wildlife sightings. The boat trip on Lake Naivasha sounds like a refreshing addition to the journey. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for more adventures in the future. Regards Sylvia

Lots of animals

Ronald_M, Sep 2019

The ride out of Nairobi is quite long and the first park is OK and has quite a few animals and a nice exposure to an African Safari. The boat ride option is a must as the island is teeming with wildlife and quite relaxing. Very worthwhile.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Hello Ronald Thank you for writing to us this feed back ,sadly there is nothing we can do about the distance but it is great to hear that you had an ample time and you got to see animals and you visited the island which was our motive. We do hope another tour sends you back to us. Karibuni tena !!!!
