Kelvin was an amazing tour guide. He spotted so many animals that we would have missed. He was very knowledgeable about the animals, Nairobi and Kenya. He was as excited to see the animals as we were. He made sure that we had the best experience. Kelvin took to the most wonderful place for lunch. It truly was an amazing experience. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour.

We had a great experience with our guide Peter who responded quickly to last minute requests and communication. He sought to find all the animals the kids wanted to see. He was flexible also when our son got sick and needes time to rest in the car. He helped us get best spots at the elephant orphanage for the feedings.

Kelvin is a superstar!!!

This safari was amazing, we saw so many animals & our guide Kelvin was an absolute legend. He knew exactly where to go and when to be there to capture every money shot & unforgettable experience. He was always first, knew absolutely everyone and completely made this experience. His knowledge of the animals and their habitat was incredibly impressive. I was travelling with friends but will definitely re-book with Kelvin when I bring my family to Kenya.

This tour was the best thing I did in Nairobi. We were able to see lions, rhinos, elephants and so on :). Our guide was a really great person. He was so friendly and did his best to show us all the animals. ( I am sorry I do not remember guide’s name, but he is the one whose sister works in Nairobi National Park)

Douglas was an AMAZING tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and was very thoughtful in making sure we saw all the best angles of the animals. He took our photos and even had the women’s bead factory sing me Happy Birthday. He was very friendly, arrived on time and made our safari trip one too remember.

Amazing safari tour
