It’s been a wonderful safari with Samuel! We got to see so many animals, and he had a lot of knowledge of both the animals and the culture! Highly recommended! We had a 16 hours transit, so this was perfect!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Turning a long layover into an epic wildlife adventure is absolute genius, and we are so glad you chose to spend your transit with us. Samuel’s Double Expertise We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your time with Samuel. He isn't just great at spotting wildlife; he is deeply passionate about sharing local culture and history, too. Getting to learn about the heritage while watching animals makes a safari so much more meaningful. We will definitely pass your compliments along to him! The Ultimate Layover Hack Pulling off a flawless safari during a tight 16-hour transit window requires great timing, so we are delighted to hear that everything went perfectly and that you got to see so many animals before your next flight. Thank you for highly recommending us! Next time you have a longer stopover—or a full vacation—you know exactly where to find us. Safe travels on the rest of your journey! Warm regards, Thoya

Thoya and James have organized a wonderful tour. In Nairobi National Park we saw all the animals that were there, as James knows all the good spots and is an excellent guide. It was just an impressive tour. Afterwards we went to two medals where original African art and jewelry is handmade. The welcome and demonstration were just touching and there were great things to admire. To conclude the day, James suggested lunch at a restaurant with a pleasant family atmosphere, which was really a highlight: Wonderful original African food, freshly made shakes, especially the mango shake is now recommended, and attentive staff. On the way to the hotel, we stopped at a street vending stall where there were mangoes like I've never eaten before. The taste was just fabulous. Communication was via WhatsApp and was always timely and hassle-free. All agreements were kept on time. I can only recommend this tour and this team.
Thank you very much for your wonderful and detailed review. We are delighted to hear that you had such an impressive experience during your tour.

We were very satisfied with the efficiency of the tour in our limited time. Mr.Festus Kazungu, our guide and driver, was looking hard to show us many animals in Nairobi National Park and we were able to see many animals. He was a good explainer, cheerful and fun person.

The perfect day! We got to see more animals than in better known, larger parks, including a baby rhino. The giraffe centre was also quite an experience, cute and instructive. Our guide Samuel Maingi was so helpful and knowledgeable, as well as great at spotting animals. The restaurant we had lunch at was friendly and clean, serving very tasty local food. This was my second safari with perfect safari, and I would go back a third time if I were to return!

Great visit to both the elephant sanctuary and the giraffe centre followed by lunch at Carnivore. Isaac was our host and he was very knowledgeable and friendly during our tour. There appeared to be a lot of miscommunication from the office everywhere we arrived mainly regarding payments but Isaac sorted them out quickly and professionally. We had a private tour and we would definitely recommend this as we could do everything at a pace we enjoyed. The giraffe centre gets very busy so recommend getting there as early as possible for that.

We spent our last half day before leaving Nairobi to visit the park - great experience to wrap up our trip as we saw so many rhinos from so close-by! Our driver and guide Festus Kazungu was great - he picked us up from our hotel 530am so we could start the tour when the park opened. He was really funny, knowledgeable and awesome at storytelling - we learned a lot from him about the animals! There were so many rhinos in action that we could observe them very close by which I only dreamed of. Highly recommend when you want to visit the park - so close to the city so can visit when you only have a short time left yet see amazing animals !
Hello, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled that your half-day visit to the park was such a memorable way to wrap up your trip.

It’s fantastic that you got to see the rhinos up close—those moments are truly special! We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another amazing wildlife adventure soon. Regards, Faith

I had an amazing day exploring Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Centre with Festus. Immediately after booking, Festus contacted me suggesting an earlier start time, better for spotting the wildlife. I was arriving that morning and unable to meet earlier, but appreciated his suggestion. Festus picked me up from my hotel & was friendly, attentive, and full of knowledge, making the entire tour fun, educational, and adventurous! During the park tour, he guided me to spot lions, giraffes, and other wildlife, providing interesting insights along the way. Traveling with Festus made the day safe, relaxed, and truly memorable. The highlight of the day was seeing the lions & zebras at the park. Followed by visiting the Giraffe Centre and feeding the giraffes- such an unforgettable experience! I highly recommend booking this tour with Festus!
Hello, Thank you for sharing your incredible experience! It's wonderful to hear that your trip with Festus truly met your expectations. His exceptional service and dedication to making your tour memorable shine through your review. Sounds like a trip worth recommending to anyone seeking a memorable wildlife adventure. Regards Susan
