We had limited time in Nairobi as were travelling the next day and this certainly made the most of our stay here.

We would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting.

This experience was truly wonderful and gave me a great glimpse into the local culture. We visited several vibrant local markets, each with its own unique charm. It was fascinating to see the handmade jewelry and crafts so much creativity and tradition in every piece. One of the highlights was spending time with the Maasai people. We even got to dance with them, which was such a fun and memorable experience. It felt very authentic and special. The tour also included a visit to a very nice restaurant with great food, which was a perfect way to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. On top of that, the city tour was well-organized and gave a great overview of the area.
