“Our trip with Stephen to the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Centre was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised and full of unforgettable moments. Stephen was an incredible guide so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Kenya’s wildlife and culture. We also made a stop at the bead factory, which was fascinating to see, and the shop we visited before entering the Giraffe Centre had beautiful local crafts and souvenirs. Every part of the day felt special and well thought out. I couldn’t recommend this tour enough, a perfect way to experience some of Nairobi’s most unique and heartwarming attractions. Thank you, Stephen, for an unforgettable day!”

“My tour guide was 5 stars, but the tour itself... eh. The giraffe center was fine and the elephant sanctuary was fine, neither were worth the price of the tour, especially because you have to pay $40+ additional just to enter the national park to go to the elephant sanctuary. I would not participate in this tour again.”

“Le prix paye en ligne (168 euros avec 1 adulte et 2 enfants) ne compte pas l entrée du parc, du centre des girafes et orphelinat des éléphants.

“We had a ten hour layover in Nairobi and decided to book a trip to get out of the airport. We booked our trip last minute and weren’t sure exactly what we wanted to do but Erich was very flexible. He picked us up and dropped us off at the airport which was so convenient. Because our flight landed around noon we weren’t able to go to Sheldrick elephant orphanage but we did get to the Giraffe Center. We decided to skip the Karen Blixen house and spend as much time as we could in Nairobi National Park. Erich was great with finding lions. We also saw at least 10…”
