Our guide Wellington picked us up at our hotel exactly at the appointed time. He explained the itinerary for our day, and provided us with information regarding Kenya and Nairobi while we were en route to each venue. The events exceeded our expectations, especially the Bomas dance troupe. Wellington provided us with ample opportunities to select the type of cuisine we wished to eat at lunch, take photos, and he provided us with bottled water. Overall we had a fantastic experience, and Wellington played an important factor in this.
Was looking forward to visiting these places but unfortunately it was a little disorganised. My driver showed up 40mins early so I missed breakfast but then was taken to a roadside coffee stand and told I had to wait for others who were visiting National Park. I ended up waiting for an hour then after picked them came back to coffee stand to wait more until nearly 11am when we left to visit the Baby elephant orphanage and arrived halfway through the demonstration and left after half an hour. From there it was on to the giraffe sanctuary which was fantastic to feed these gentle giants. After dropping off some of our group we headed to the Bomas and a lively and colourful show of different dances and displays. Lastly I went to Carnivore for a dinner experience which I was told was part of the more expensive package but at the end I had to pay again for the dinner and when I disputed this the tour office man yelled at me that I hadn’t paid and that wasn’t what I booked. So definitely confirm with booking that it is included or you will experience the same problem I did
Hello runawaydays, Thank you for taking your time leaving this review on Gracepatt Page. All our trips start with Giraffe center, then Elephant, then Kazuri Beads, then Lunch, after lunch enter Bomas of Kenya and then crown your day with Carnivore Dinner. We normally provide our driver guides with The Service Voucher for Dinner at Carnivore Restaurant and by the time they arrive Carnivore they find their Table Reserved. We have a similar Trips on TripAdvisor and may be you tagged Gracepatt by mistake. Kindly please send us your booking reference number and the name or your driver or you attach your booking voucher here because we don't operate this way. Looking forward to hearing from you
My husband and I only had one day to spend in Nairobi. This was a wonderful way to fit multiple sites into our visit. The pace of the day was not rushed and was not too slow either. Patrick was an excellent driver/guide. He was quite personable but not overbearing. He made sure we were at the fence at the elephant orphanage which is the best place for viewing the baby elephants. Eat a light lunch because Carnivore is serving up a lot of food!!! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to fit in a lot of fun and site seeing all into one day.
Thank you so much destined4gtg for your exquisite review of your adventure with us. We are more than humbled that both of you had wonderful day out,with multiple sites and a lot of fun with our driver guide Patrick. We look forward to offering you another trip in future. Blessings
This tour was a great glimpse into Nairobi culture. I enjoyed feeding the giraffes, watching others feed the elephants, and the dancing performances. I also liked visiting the bead-making facility, as well as the Lovebirds Community Gift Shop, where I bought masks. The dinner was great - I had never had rabbit before. Our guide, Steven, made the day memorable. He ensured that we experienced prime viewing at the elephant feeding and dance performance. I'm glad that we booked this tour - it was my best day in Kenya.
Thank you yobei for choosing us among many and taking your time writing awesome review. We are happy you had a memorable experience with our driver guide Steven. We look forward to meeting and serving you again in then near future.
