Similar to an earlier review we also had limited time in Nairobi so this tour provided the perfect opportunity to visit the best sites and tour the Kibera slum. We booked directly with the company and they couldn’t have been more helpful, arranging the hotel pickup to suit our arrival in Nairobi. The tour was well organised and the trip to Kibera and the August 7th Museum were very educational. All in all it was an excellent trip and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a full day site seeing trip in Nairobi.
Thank you Jerusal for sharing about the tour. We are thrilled to understand that you had the best experience touring the city of Nairobi and the Kibera slums. We also thank you for choosing Nairobi and Beyond Safaris. We welcome you once more for more good experiences with our best packages.
We had limited time in Nairobi so this was the perfect day tour. Our tour guide was Dennis. He arrived early and stayed with us more than what was required. My only suggestion would be to the tour company to advise clients how much the extra admissions will cost at each stop so you can be prepared with the correct cash.
Thank you for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that Dennis made it special we'll be sure to pass on your kind words. Thanks also for the feedback on admission fees. We'll work on providing clearer info in advance to help future guests prepare. We appreciate you choosing us and hope to see you again.
I cannot say enough good things about my day in Nairobi. Sam was my guide and he was so very helpful. He provided me with a great description of sites in the city and answered a ton of my questions. The visit to Kibera was something that everyone should experience and not something I will soon forget. Again, thanks to Sam for his amazing knowledge of Nairobi and Kenyan history, culture, religion and politics.
Dear Michell. Thank you for letting us know how wonderful your tour of the city of Nairobi and Kibera slums was, we are happy to hear that you will not forget the experience. our guides are always ready to give the best services with alot of information, we welcome you back again for more tours and safaris.
Sam was a great guide. He was a font of knowledge about Nairobi. Athens American Embassy Memorial Garden as moving. Kibera was something everyone should see. To think that our fellow Humana’s live in these conditions is heartbreaking.
Thank you very much Gary for traveling with us. We are happy to hear that our guide was outstanding, please note that this wouldn't have been possible without you. Asante.
Very friendly guide named Sam. 24 year old boy who spoke good English and knew a lot to tell. Nice route through downtown/uptown Nairobi. Then drove by car to the slum. Here we had 2 local guides extra. They didn't speak English very well, but they still had a nice route through the neighborhood for us. All in all a very educational / fun experience and definitely worth it!
Thank you for booking with us and getting to travel with us. We are really proud of you.
A great way to see all the must-see places in Nairobi! Being picked up at the hotel makes it very easy. A stroll downtown, while Kelvin shares info and stories about his city and country makes it worth your while. Lot of room for questions and flexibility if necessary/wanted. Collin shared his experiences and work in Kibera and spread the awareness for what is needed on his tour through Kibera!
Thank you for taking the time to talk about us, we are dedicated of delivering the best services to our clients and always make sure we make your trips are memorable.
Kelvin showed me all the places in the city of Nairobi and told me about his city and country. It was a very nice tour and I got to know the city better. Afterwards Collin showed me Kibera and explained the work they are doing there, work of great importance! Thanks to both I had an excellent time!

Thanks to Meshack my driver and guide I was able to see Nairobi from different sites. Started with the inner city at the bomb site, enjoyed the outlook from the convention center, then met Collins at the Kibera. Who did a great job too to walk me around Kibera , answered all my questions and let me say hello to community school. After a stop at the beads factory followed by a delicious meal we even managed to make a stop at the giraffe center. Thanks Meshack. I am off to a great East Africa trip.
Thanks to you for making this tour happen and it being a success. We are really grateful. Meshack and Collins really do appreciate you. We really do pray that when you find time you will visit again for another great tour. thank you.
