Stephen pointed out interesting landmarks along the drive to orphanage and the sanctuary. He was very accommodating and flexible, which allowed us to make the most of our day. It was a lovely day with a great guide.
We were very upset that we arrived too late for the baby elephant feeding. We were taken to a Maasai gift shop first instead of going directly to the sanctuary so we had a good view. It was the experience we paid for and to miss the best part was a huge disappointment.
The pickup and drop off was seamless and we had the best driver, John, who was so helpful and attentive! The elephants were also amazing to see.
We book the elephant orphanage tour but they insist that it was with beats factory plus they didn’t say that we have pay park entrance fee 45$ each additional we end up paying taxi to the hotel big rip off
We had a difficult time obtaining tickets for the elephant orphanage as attendence is restricted and going on your own required signing up 3 months in advance. However, our guide Meshamck with Garcebott Ecotours saved the day! They had tickets and Meshamck was a wonderful guide. The elephant orphanage was a fantastic experience, and we were grateful to find tickets! The encounter lasts about 1 hour and we were able to learn about the elephants, why they were orphans and the good work to release them to the wild. After the encounter Meshamck worked with us to set an itinerary that took us to various locations that supported single mothers and local artisans, pointing out the highlights of Nairobi along the way. It was a wonderful first day in Nairobi.
Simply amazing! You get to see and pet the baby elephants, and find out all about their backgrounds.
Our driver was very accommodating.
Mershack was incredible guide. Orphanage worth going to. Appreciated extra time showing us city also
