Since we only had a day to explore Nairobi after a work conference, we booked an early morning join-in game drive and it was excellent! We ended up being the only people on the drive, so we essentially had a private experience. Our guide Chris was so welcoming, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable! The guide company was also very responsive when we had questions about the tour. I would definitely recommend this experience, especially if you don’t have time to do a longer safari!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Dear Guest,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that your short time in Nairobi turned into such a memorable experience with us.
It's especially rewarding to know that your early morning game drive felt like a private safari and that Chris made your visit so enjoyable with his warm hospitality and knowledge of Nairobi National Park. We will be sure to share your kind words with him.
We also appreciate your recognition of our team's responsiveness and customer service. Creating seamless and memorable experiences for our guests is always our top priority.
Thank you for choosing Live in Love Kenya Tours & Travel. We hope to welcome you back to Kenya again for an even longer safari adventure in the future!
Warm regards,

Thank you very much to Mr. ElviSkonto for the excellent service. My friend and I had a wonderful time and truly enjoyed the experience. What impressed us most was that he prepared a complete Chinese-language animal encyclopedia. Whenever we encountered an animal, he could immediately find it in the book and explain it to us. This was extremely friendly and thoughtful for Chinese visitors who are not very confident in English.
If I have another chance to visit the national parks in Kenya in the future, I would definitely choose this company’s service again.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much for your kind review! It was a pleasure hosting you and your friend. We are very happy you enjoyed the safari experience and found the Chinese animal guide helpful. Your support means a lot, and we look forward to welcoming you again to Kenya in the future!

My driver was very friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable, though he was 20 min late. There was also a bit of a communication mix up, he had asked me what my plans were for the day, and I told him, but I think he was trying to ask what the itinerary for the booking was. That really shouldn’t be my responsibility to make sure the driver knows what is a part of the package. It resulted in him thinking that he needed to take me somewhere I wasn’t expecting him to, but then the manager wanted me to pay for the extra fare.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hello and good evening ,
Thank you for your feedback.
We would like to clarify that we offer different safari options for Nairobi National Park, including packages with pickup and drop-off as well as main gate to main gate experiences.
In your case, the option selected was the main gate to main gate package, which does not include transport. This is why pickup and drop-off would require an additional fee.
We understand how this may have caused some confusion, and we truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue improving how we communicate our package details to guests.
Thank you for choosing Liveinlovekenyatoursandtravel, and we hope to welcome you again for an even smoother experience.
Warm regards,
Liveinlovekenyatoursandtravel

AMAZING! We went in the afternoon, and it was only my dad and I and we had booked a shared safari that ended up being private - incredible. We had previously been with another provider to the park earlier in our stay in Nairobi and this car was more comfortable and the better experience. The afternoon tour (3pm) I was worried there would be less animals to see but OH BOY I was wrong! The afternoon tour meant that the park was virtually empty of other cars so way more animals to be seen - as closer up than during our morning game drive. To top it off the 5 minutes into our drive in the park, we passed another driver who told us to follow him to where a pride of lions were sleeping. He did not mention they were sleeping 3 metres from the road and we go to be face to face with 5 sleeping lions!!!!!!! Absolute highlight of my trip to Nairobi, our driver Chris was knowledgeable, polite and a great driver. Would absolutely recommend - as we needed to be out of the park by 6:30 we just missed the sunset but saw so many animals.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible review! 🙏✨
We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your safari at Nairobi National Park turned into such a special and unforgettable experience — especially getting a private upgrade on a shared booking, that’s always a magical surprise!
Seeing a pride of lions just 3 meters from the road is truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment 🦁🔥 — we’re so happy you got to experience that up close. Afternoon game drives can be incredibly rewarding, and you described it perfectly — fewer vehicles, more intimate wildlife encounters.
A big thank you as well for your kind words about Chris. We’re proud to have such knowledgeable and professional guides who go the extra mile to make every safari memorable.
It means a lot to us that you noticed the comfort and quality of our vehicle and overall experience compared to others — that’s exactly what we aim to deliver every time.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family again for even more adventures across Kenya! 🇰🇪🐘

Akane_F, Jan 2026
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!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for this amazing review! We’re thrilled you turned your layover into such a memorable safari adventure. Innocent will be so happy to hear your kind words, and we’re glad you enjoyed the close rhino sightings. Hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Kenya!
Alexandra_M, Jan 2026
This was our first safari experience, and overall it was amazing to finally see the animals in real life. Our driver, Innocent, was nice, picked us up on time, drove well, and really tried his best to help us spot as many animals as possible. He also kindly returned a belt I had forgotten in the car, which I really appreciated.
However, the tour itself was not very informative. We received only very basic information (for example, that four out of the Big Five can be seen in the park), and most of the time we were simply driving and looking for animals. I actually learned much more during a short stop when I spoke with a park ranger than during the whole safari drive. The driver’s English was also a bit difficult to understand.
Overall, the experience was great for a first safari, but I would have enjoyed it more with more explanations and information along the way.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your first safari experience with us.
We are delighted to hear that you had an amazing time seeing the animals in real life and that our driver, Innocent, was punctual, professional, and went the extra mile to return your forgotten belt. We take great pride in the honesty and dedication of our team.
However, we sincerely appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the educational aspect of the tour. Our goal is to provide not only a great viewing experience but also deep insights into the wildlife and ecosystem. We regret that the information provided was too basic and that communication was a challenge.
Please be assured that we are addressing this with our guiding team to ensure more comprehensive training and better engagement with our guests moving forward. Your comments help us improve the quality of our service for future travelers.
We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again and provide an even more informative and enriching adventure.
Best regards,

john_d, Oct 2025
Extremely disappointed.
Guide and driver 30 mins late. No apology.
40 mins extended wait at gate entrance because driver did not want to / could not pay vehicle entry.
Guide disappeared. Driver tried to get us to pay for the vehicle and his ticket when it is included in the substantial base price.
Kenya Wildlife then forcibly charged $80 per person despite high court ruling that they cannot do so. Should be $43 (which they charged some visitors but not us). Driver of no help whatsoever. Would not recommend at all.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and the inconvenience caused during your tour.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the late pickup, lack of communication, and confusion regarding the park entry payments. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand your frustration.
We take your concerns seriously and are already addressing this matter with the guide and driver involved to ensure such issues do not happen again.
Regarding the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) park fee situation, we understand how upsetting that must have been, especially with the inconsistent charges. We are reviewing this incident closely and will follow up with KWS for clarification and possible redress.
We value your feedback and would like the opportunity to make things right. Kindly share your booking name or contact details privately so our management team can reach you directly.
Warm regards,

What an amazing experience! We saw so many animals in such a short amount of time, all in the National park. Our driver Yesler was great, knowledgeable, and worked hard to give us a great experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you had a fantastic time and that Yesler made it special. Hope to welcome you again soon!
William_W, Jun 2025
Surprised by the number of animals we were able to see so close to Nairobi. We arranged a last minute tour before heading to other parts of Kenya, and we were so glad we did. Our guide, Sugow, did a great job.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thanks very much your honest review we really appreciate we hope to serve you in the future and take you other parks

Very impromptu booking, not so good in finding the meeting point, and then there was the incident that I forgot to bring my credit card!However, my guide Sugow was very competent, young, energetic and smiling, I give 5 stars for the guide part!
Response from Host, Apr 2025

Looking forward to hosting you again
Rohini_C, Apr 2025
I had booked a 4 hour drive with hotel pickup. While the park itself was lovely, the experience was awful. The team arrived 20 mins late. Then, what should have been a 15 min ride to the park took 100 mins because the expressway charge card had not been loaded with money. Overall, I spent 2 hours just waiting and commuting, and 2 hours in the park. The Guide wasn’t well informed; the guide and driver had no idea of the ticketing process so we wasted more time trying to buy the ticket. Frankly, the experience left me feeling cheated.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the park. We apologize for the delays — sometimes traffic and security checks at the gate can be unpredictable and beyond our control. Ticketing at the main gate can also take time due to the step-by-step process and vehicle queues.
We truly value your experience and appreciate your understanding. The delay on the expressway was unfortunate, and we will ensure a smoother experience next time by preparing everything in advance.
feng_w, Feb 2025
Fantastic trip! Been picked up from hotel very much on time, and my guide Yesla and Sugoow are good at spotting wildlife, it’s amazing to watch the lion hunting, and to see various big animals within a half day trip.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that you had an amazing trip and that Yesla and Sugoow made your experience even more special. Punctuality and expert wildlife spotting are things we take pride in, and it’s wonderful that you got to witness a lion hunting—such a rare and thrilling sight!
We truly appreciate you choosing Live in Love Kenya Tours and Travel, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure!
Mehnaaz_K, Jan 2025
We booked the private 4x4 safari for an exclusive experience and the tour was supposed to last 4-6 hours but we were done in less than 3 hours . Pick up was slightly late then we got held up at the gate as the guide was expecting us to pay more at the gate for the vehicle when we purchased a tour that includes this so there was a further delay . Finally we got into park .. saw a few animals but it wasn’t our lucky day . Instead of making our trip memorable and showing us some more in the park it looked like the guide was in a rush to complete the trip . He kept on saying how there aren’t many animal sightings but I’m sure there would be more to see in the park such as the river that crosses it and the ivory burning site . Anyway we were done by 5pm way before expected and didn’t really enjoy the whole experience as much as we thought we would

Pius was an amazing guide. We were able to see so many rhinos which is what we were missing out of our Big 5 from our Masai Mara safari. He answered all our questions, respected the national park and the animals all while allowing us to experience these beautiful animals. A wonderful tour for our final day in Kenya.
Response from Host, Oct 2024

It was great experience. We went early in the morning, and the view of the fog, city, and savanna was spectacular. We saw rhinos, giraffes, gazelles, wild boar, and the lion passed by our car, thanks to Peter for this trip he was kind and informative. Peter drove us there by 4x4 landcruiser.
This trip doesn’t include the entrance fee, you can get the tickets online or by peter phone. It costs around $44 per person.

Peter picked us up from our hotel and drove us straight to the park to watch the sunrise. Our group was so excited to take photos of animals and each other. Peter was amazing with stopping the car often and in the perfect places to allow us to take good photos in the car. It seemed like he knew every spot to find rhinos, giraffes, lions, hippos, and impala. Peter also let us stay a little late because we were having one of the most amazing experiences following a couple of lions on the road. If you are looking for a wonderful experience with a kind, skilled guide definitely book this tour and ask for Peter.

It was so amazing. Peter and Peace were so amazing guides and drivers. They let us so perfectly to see the giraffe center and Nairobi Park Game drive at the right time. We’ve seen a lot of animals including Lion, Hippo, Rhino Family, Crocodile, African Antelope, Giraffe, Warthog Family and also a lot I cannot even remember. They were so careful and responsible so that they helped us arrive safe even there was demonstration near our hotel. Recommend 100%

First, I would like to say that we were lucky to have Peter as our host and our guide for the day. Peter was personable, professional, and catered to our needs and wants with general concern. We took the 5:30 AM Nairobi National, Park, Tour and Peter made sure that we saw amazing sites and animals. Nothing was missed. We previously were booked for the elephant orphanage and the draft orphanage, but it was canceled. Peter put us on the waiting list and we were able to do both experiences. We also then went to the Karen Blixen museum. this was a fantastic way to start our African vacation. I truly believe that all the sites were amazing, but having Peter as our guide and host made it that much better and special.
