Amazing experience in Nairobi!

Watson picked me up from the hotel and it was an amazing day! He was very knowledgeable about the park and a very motivated driver to allow us to see as many animals as possible, especially the lions. He also knew everyone and is very connected to the park agents, other tour drivers, and those who work at the giraffe center and sherrick wildlife trust, which made everything smooth and easy! Highly recommend.

A good time!

This was such and incredible tour. Watson was a great guide! The day started off with a pickup from our accommodation. Then we went to the National Park where we showed our tickets that we pre purchased the night before for about $86. We were able to see lions, buffaloes, white rhinos, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, and a few other animals. After that tour, we went to the Elephant Orphanage where we paid 2,600 Ksh per person (they accept usd). Then we went presentation lasted for about 1-hour. Guests were not allowed to touch the elephants for their own protection. Then we went to the bead factory to learn how beads and leather craft goods are made. Beautiful works of art. We had a buffet lunch which was delicious. The lunch was maybe $12 per person. Lastly, we feed giraffes which was our shortest stop. All in all we had an excellent time and Watson was great!
