12 hour layover in Nairobi made fun!

I booked a day tour of Nairobi during a very long layover - we visited the Giraffe Center, Karen Blixen Museum, and ate at the Carnivore Restaurant. My guide was Paul - who was super wonderful, explained everything we were seeing, and then when we had spare time, found other super interesting things to visit including a jewelry b-corp factory, and a brief, safe, tour of Kiberia. Really can not recommend enough!

Operator response

Hello, We're thrilled you had an enriching day tour of Nairobi during your layover. It's wonderful to hear that Paul provided you with a fantastic experience, going above and beyond to show you various attractions and even unexpected gems like the jewelry b-corp factory and a safe tour of Kibera. Thank you for your positive review and recommendation. Regards Sylvia

Absolute Fantastic

We would like to thank you very much for a completely magical safari! It surpassed all our dreams! Our guide Mr Harun was extremely competent and we saw lots of animals! Over 80 lions, hunts that both ended with successful hunting results and not, the start of migration, Elephants everywhere around us, the rhino, the entire Big Five and so much more! We had a lot of questions all days and Harun knew everything! The lodges were very nice and it was an unreal feeling to lie in the tent at night in the middle of the Serengeti and hear the lions roar to mark their territory. All the excursions we booked were also fantastic, both those in Tanzania and in Kenya. We are so grateful and have had great memories and learned a lot! Many thanks for all the help and fantastic service!

Great experience

We booked the day before for this excursion. Faith and Peter picked us up from our respective hotels and we drove to the Giraffe center. Once there, we were few in number, which allowed us to enjoy the experience to the fullest and to have as much information about the giraffes and their living environment. We then took the road to the orphanage. Faith had given us some tips to be best placed to enjoy elephants. We really enjoyed our experience. We stopped at the Kazuri beads women factory and finally took the direction of the restaurant the Carnivore. We ate very well and the setting is very nice.

Great tour for families!

We had the tour with Peter. It was such a great experience being able to be so up close to the baby elephants and feed the giraffes. Peter was a great and efficient guide. He took us to an awesome little Cafe after the elephant orphanage anticipating the huge crowd from the orphanage to go to the giraffe center right after. Sure enough, once we arrived to the giraffe center, we were the ONLY ones there, as the previous crowd had just left. This allowed us to take plenty of pictures with the giraffes and not having to rush our experience feeding them. The food at The Carnivore was delicious and gave us the opportunity to try meats we had not tried before. I appreciated that with each meat, you were told which sauce to pair it with! Simply delicious. Overall, it was an amazing experience!

Operator response
