Great experience but costs are shady

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.

Short but truly memorable safari

‎If you are in Nairobi for a short time, this safari is a must-do. The Half-Day Nairobi National Park Safari from Nairobi with Free Pickup gave us a real wildlife experience without needing to travel far. ‎ ‎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.

Perfect Morning Adventure in Nairobi

This safari was one of the highlights of my visit to Kenya. The Half-Day Nairobi National Park Safari from Nairobi with Free Pickup is ideal if you don’t have a full day but still want a real safari experience. ‎ ‎Onesmus, our guide, was friendly, calm, and very informative. He explained animal behavior in a way that was easy to understand. ‎ ‎We were lucky to see lions early in the morning and a variety of herbivores grazing peacefully. The park is surprisingly large and peaceful despite being so close to the city. I highly recommend this tour for first-time visitors.

A surprising wildlife escape so close to the city

‎I honestly didn’t expect much from a safari so close to Nairobi, but this half-day trip completely changed my mind. ‎ ‎The Half-Day Nairobi National Park Safari from Nairobi with Free Pickup was well organized from start to finish. Pickup was on time, and our guide, Onesmus, immediately made everyone feel comfortable. ‎ ‎He was knowledgeable about the animals and patient when we stopped for photos. We saw lions, giraffes, buffaloes, and even a rhino in the distance. ‎ ‎It felt incredible to be so close to wildlife with the city skyline behind us. The experience was short but very fulfilling and perfect for anyone with limited time. ‎

Watson Munene Nairobi Safari Park tour early morning safari - recommended

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.

Great value

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!

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re really glad to hear that everything went smoothly from the early morning pickup through to your time in Nairobi National Park and the Elephant Orphanage. It’s great that you were among the first into the park—that early timing really does give the best chance to enjoy the wildlife in a quieter setting. We’re especially happy to hear that Watson’s knowledge of the animals and their behavior helped enrich your safari, and that you were able to see such a wide variety including rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, buffalo, giraffes, and zebras. We also appreciate your understanding regarding the lion sighting—wildlife is always unpredictable, but it’s clear Watson did his best to make it happen for you. We’re glad you still had such a rewarding experience overall, including your visit to the Elephant Centre. Thank you again for your recommendation and helpful feedback. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you back for another safari adventure in Kenya!
