“Today we were excited to enjoy our Nairobi National Park Safari. That lasted until we got picked up in the crappiest vehicle ever. We were expecting a beautiful safari cruiser as in their photo but instead it was a beat up white van. Ok, not perfect but we'll still have a good day. Read more”

We learned so much about the colonial history of Kenya and its economic development as well as its past and current culture. Our guides were great company and interested in all of our backgrounds. They answered all our questions and made our tour a truly memorable experience. To top it off we beat the weather and enjoyed the 360 degree view from the top of the KICC building. Superb! Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn about Nairobi.”

“This experience was absolutely fantastic! Everything ran smoothly from the very beginning; transportation was perfectly on time, and the explanations at each stop were clear, fun, and really brought the sights to life. The snorkelling gear was in excellent condition, and the support in the water (especially helping us float and feel comfortable) made the whole activity even more enjoyable. Lunch was tasty, and I’d recommend bringing a bit of extra cash if you want to try additional dishes and tip the wonderful crew. Speaking of the crew—they were incredibly friendly, attentive, and full of good energy. They truly made the day unforgettable. I’d book this again in a heartbeat.…”
