Itinerary

Admission not included300 min

Start your day with a 6:00 AM pickup from your Nairobi hotel for a 5-hour tour to Nairobi National Park. Joined by an expert local driver/guide, traverse the park’s wildlife trails to spot lions, giraffes, ostriches, hippos, white and black rhinos, buffaloes, and other wildlife. Visit the iconic Ivory Burning Site Monument during the game drive, which concludes around 10:30 AM. Next, head to the renowned David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage to observe rescued baby elephants as they eagerly drink their formula. Afterward, enjoy an optional coffee break. The tour wraps up with a drop-off back at your Nairobi hotel around 2:00 PM.

60 min

Keepers introduce each baby elephant orphan, sharing touching stories of their rescues while the playful calves guzzle milk, wallow in mud, wrestle friends, or take dust baths. The one-hour session (11.a.m to 12 noon) highlights the Trust's vital work in hand-rearing these infants until they can rejoin wild herds.

Admission not included45 min

Guests at the Giraffe Centre in Nairobi will encounter endangered Rothschild giraffes up close from elevated observation platforms. The site features a serene 95-acre nature sanctuary ideal for birdwatching and spotting warthogs or bushbucks along wooded trails. Educational displays highlight giraffe conservation efforts, offering insights into these majestic animals' habitat and protection.

Great way to spend the day

The guide was right on time and because this is a private tour, I got to spend as much or as little time as I wanted at the elephant/giraffe stops. And the price was cheaper than the same tours I saw that were up to 30 people so definitely recommend this company!

Amazing tour and company!

This was the perfect way to start our vacation in Nairobi. Highly recommend booking with Wasili!!! Our guide, Julius, was punctual, friendly, and informative. The truck is spacious and clean. The private tour is totally worth it!

Great visit to Nairobi National Park

I really enjoyed this tour of Nairobi National Park. Joshua was a great guide. It turns out he is a birder, so he was able to spot and then tell me names of all the birds, and of course to spot the mammals of the park. We entered the southwest entry to the park early, and were able to feel pretty secluded for the first two hours. Joshua really knows the park and communicated with other guides to make sure we saw a lion, along with giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, impalas, crocodiles, cape buffalo...along with my highlight a leopard.

Operator response

Dear Dara, Thank you for your kind review. We're glad you enjoyed Nairobi National Park and that Joshua made your visit special.. We're happy you had quiet time in the southwest entry and that you saw alot. We look forward to hosting you again in the future for more safaris in Kenya.

solo female traveller - 100% recommend!

Loved this trip! As a first time solo female traveller to Nairobi I was a little unsure about getting about (if you’re in the same boat, I fully recommend this trip!) Julius was fantastic! Prompt pick up from the hotel & the most wonderful tour guide. He knew all the best places to spot the animals & was also incredibly respectful to keep distance & not overcrowd them if other vehicles showed up. Clearly passionate about what we were seeing (especially birds) which was wonderful. Thoroughly recommend, I had the best day! Elephant sanctuary is amazing & giraffe centre is fun too!

Julius was an extremely well informed guide and he was so pleasant to spend time with! He knew the National Park so well we were able to cover tons of ground and see plenty of wildlife. I will book this trip every time I am in Nairobi!

Fantastic final day in Nairobi

I had the most amazing day with Peter, my guide! He took such care to ensure I was seeing what I wanted to see and was clearly very passionate about the animals, conservation and the national park. We went all around in search of animals and it paid off! He is a fountain of knowledge and I’d say this private tour is worth every penny (especially when I saw other vehicles drive past packed with people!)

Most fun and professional experience 🦁🦏🦒🦛🦓🐊

We cannot recommend Julius and the Safari experience we booked enough (Nairobi National Park, Sheldrik Wildlife Trust and Giraffe Center). For context: we also took the uber Safari in Nairobi National Park so we can compare the two experiences pretty well. First of all, the communication beforehand was amazing. We were able to reschedule because we missed our flight to Nairobi even though it was less than 24hours before. Julius picked us up in time, was super friendly in an easy-going way, and very knowledgeable. You could tell he loves his job and has 20years of experience. Afterwards he stayed an hour longer than obligated to, to make sure we had a proper lunch (great recommendation too) and dropped us at the airport for our next flight (even though he did not have to do that and otherwise would have been home an hour earlier). In the uber safari you got what you paid for, a driver who simply drove you through the national park. In the safari with Julius we got a professional guide who knew all the best spots, had all the secret tips, answered all the questions and made it an unforgettable experience while being kind, charming, funny and an expert in his job. The only regret we have is not booking other parks in Kenia through Julius but we will be back ;) I would also like to add that I do not normally review things and I am German, so not easy to impress, which is why this review really comes from the heart. Thank you Julius for the experience of a lifetime!

Operator response

Dear Nathalie, Thank you so much for your amazing review! We're thrilled that your safari to Nairobi National Park, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and Giraffe Center was special. It's great to hear how Julius' knowledge, friendliness, and extra time for lunch and the airport drop-off stood out—especially compared to the Uber safari. We truly appreciate you sharing this, especially since you don't review often and it comes straight from the heart. We are over the moon to read it! We hope you'll book more parks with us next time you're back in Kenya. Safe travels until then!

Excellent!!!

Our safari tour with Peter was nothing short of incredible. From the moment the journey began, his kindness, patience, and genuine passion for wildlife made the entire experience unforgettable. Peter is extremely knowledgeable, he doesn’t just point out animals, he explains their behavior, habitat, and the stories behind the landscape in a way that brings everything to life. He created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere while still ensuring we had the best possible sightings. His sharp eye and deep understanding of the park meant we saw far more than we expected. I highly recommend booking a safari tour with Peter. His professionalism, warmth, and expertise elevate to a whole new level. A perfect 5/5.

Operator response

Recommend 100% to everyone!!!

I had such a wonderful experience with this company and I 100% recommend them to anyone considering booking a tour in Kenya. I travelled solo and felt safe at all times, which for me was incredibly important. My guide, Titus, was kind, patient and extremely professional. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire day and was always happy to answer my questions. I truly appreciated how attentive and supportive he was! I also made my reservation at the very last minute, and they still managed to organise everything perfectly. The whole experience was amazing, with them being friendly and respectful. Thank you so much for such a lovely day. I’m very grateful and would absolutely book with you again!
