I wasn’t sure where we would start to shop for souvenirs and am so grateful for this guided tour. Loved the Kazuri Bead and Pottery factory - it was such a blessing to meet those making these beautiful items. Also loved where we stopped for lunch, ate outside and enjoyed our last day in Nairobi. I started feeling ill and the guides were very accommodating. So grateful for this tour!

First off, if you were lucky enough to get Selestine and Jane as your guides for the day you will have hit the jackpot. Such a warm and gracious host made us feel very special. everything about the tour was fantastic. Bead factory was a highlight. The women working there were amazing. Every shop we went to was very nice and we were not pressured to buy things. It was all at our own discretion. It was a wonderful way to end our trip in Africa. Thank you John, Erick and Shawn from Chicago
