Real experiences from real travelers
I couldn't believe how close the lions were to the city buildings. Our guide from the platform's partner was an expert at tracking rhinos. Truly a must-do in Nairobi!
Booked the 5-hour shared tour. We saw 3 lions and a rhino. The pickup was on time and the vehicle was comfortable. Only downside was the park fee process was a bit slow.
I only had half a day before my flight. This safari was perfect. Saw the 'Big Four' (no elephants here) and made it back to the airport in time. Super convenient.
Nairobi National Park is the best place to see black rhinos. We saw four! Our guide was very knowledgeable about bird species too. 10/10 experience.
Seeing a giraffe with a skyscraper behind it is surreal. The tour was well-organized through the site. Bring a good camera zoom lens!
The shared tour price was very reasonable. Met some great people and saw a leopard which is rare! Very happy with the booking process.
The guide knew exactly where the lions were. We spent 20 minutes watching a mother and cubs. Highly recommend the early morning start.
Easy to book, instant confirmation, and the driver was very professional. A great way to see Kenya's wildlife without leaving the capital.
