SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5Wilberforce was excellent in communication, punctuality and the overall tour was amazing! I was able to book the tour by myself but connect with other of the tour. The tour guide was also really knowledgeable.Jun 20265/5Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect, but this tour turned out to be EPIC. My partner and I got picked up right on time (which never happens lol) and we were off to the park. First thing, the pop-top jeep is suuuper fun, feels like you’re in a documentary. We saw a ton of animals—lions, rhinos, even a sneaky hyena. Simon, our guide, could spot animals from miles away. Lunch was decent, nothing fancy, but the vibe was chill and there was live music (the performers were so energetic). The bead shop was a surprise hit—the women working there sang for us! The elephant orphanage was crowded but we got right up close. Giraffe feeding was hilarious, those creatures are drooly. Only thing—bring water and sunscreen. It’s a LONG day, but so worth it. Would 100% do it again with friends.Jun 20265/5What a day! Went with my sister and her boyfriend. We saw rhinos right by the road, and the lions were active. The driver, Jonathan, was full of stories and really tried to get us good photo spots. The elephant orphanage was sweet, but it was hard to hear the explanations with all the noise. Giraffe feeding was a riot—the selfies are hilarious. Didn’t expect to like the bead shop but I ended up buying earrings. Little tip: bathrooms at the park entrance are cleaner than the ones at the giraffe place.May 20265/5This was hands-down the highlight of our week in Nairobi. Went with my gf, early pickup, but coffee stops saved us. Safari was more packed than I thought but the amount of animals made it worth it. Our guide, Elijah, knew every bird and animal. The elephant orphanage is adorable but you can’t touch them (no matter what Insta says). Giraffe center was a bit touristy but the giraffes are real characters. We ended up at the bead center and learned a lot. If you’re into crafts, stay longer there.Jun 20265/5We took our tweens on this tour and they LOVED it. The highlight for them was feeding the giraffes—one tried to steal my daughter’s hat! Our guide, Henry, was super patient with all the million questions. Elephant orphanage was crowded but staff made sure everyone got a good look. Park wasn’t as big as I imagined but saw lions just chilling like it was no big deal. The bead factory was a nice calm finish. Bring snacks for the kids and maybe some wipes (giraffe slobber is no joke).
