It is worth doing the tour if you have some time in Nairobi and want to get a first impression of a safari. Except for the leopard, we saw all other four of the Big Five in Nairobi National Park, including lions after the hunt and 2 x mother rhino with child. In my opinion, the breeding station for young orphaned elephants is a must. Being eaten out of your hand by giraffes in the giraffe park is a special kind of experience. The guides were nice and catered to our special requests. One of us advanced the money for an entry, where we had to pay with dollar cash, until we later had an ATM to return the money in.

We had an amazing driver, very flexible, helpful, he gave great tips to us, where to go, etc. The Sheldrick Foundation visit with the baby elephants was breathtakingly beautiful! Feeding small giraffes was also super nice experience. Seeing the beading factory was a unique experience as well. Great value for money!

All the four activities are unique and well organised!!! We were so lucky to see lion to hunt and eat its pray! We saw babe elephants! We came close to giraffes and fed them. We feel grateful for all of them. It was an amazing experience!!!!

A blast if you want to get to know downtown w/o the street hassles ☺️

it was a great day! absolutely worth it. highly recommend!
