Watson was an incredible guide and we saw SO many animals ! Would book with him again. We also had a last second hotel change and he accommodated us no problem. Very kind man.
It was a very nice experience. Watson who was our guide made sure we had the best pictures and view of the animals ,he taught us more about the park and the animals in it
Positive: it’s impressive how close you can get to the animals, driver was even as much excited to find the animals as we were. Negative: no clear indication of costs, unfortunately felt like a rip off most of the time Yes everyone wants to make money but it’s putting a bad light on the whole experience.

Onesmus was an excellent guide - patient, respectful, and very skilled at spotting animals from a distance. We saw so many animals in just a few hours, including rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, and several bird species. What impressed me most was how close the park is to the city, yet it feels like a completely different world. A great introduction to Kenya’s wildlife.

Watson was a great Safari Leader, he was able to locate many great species including Lions, Hyena, Rhinos, Crocks and so many other wonderful animals. He communicated well, not just with the group in his van but with other drivers and using has radio when driving through the park. I have been on a few Safaris before but this is the first time I actually witnessed the guide using the VHF radio kit with which all the safari vehicles are equipped. Watson was very flexible and accommodating, all together a great guide, very knowledgeable and nice to be around. 5 stars.

I had a great experience with Kenya Tours and Safaris. I was picked up at 5:40am and we got to the national park at 6am and were one of the first in the queue. The communication was good throughout the process. Our driver, Watson was very knowledgeable about the different animals and their habits. We got to see rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, buffalos, giraffes and zebras amongst other animals. Watson really tried to get us to see a lion but it's just luck. Happy with everything else we saw! The elephant centre was amazing. If you're an African citizen, entry to the national park is half price/$40 Would definitely recommend!
