If you have a day to spend in Nairobi, this is a great way to do it. Getting to feed giraffes and see baby elephants up close was a really nice experience. Our guide, Black Santa, was very helpful and accommodating with all our requests. As we finished our tour to the giraffe centre and the elephant orphanage relatively early, we had enough time to go to Karen Blixen museum and even grab some lunch.Great tour! Our guide was excellent! Enjoyed it very much. Nice to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city of Nairobi.

I had a great time discovering the Nairobi National park, the orphanage and the giraffe house with my driver Black Santa! Especially the several lakes were quite amazing with both hippos and crocodiles (sun-)bathing. Santa was able to explain a lot of stuff in detail, not just about the park but also about the history of the places and Nairobi as well as the culture of the people. It was everything I expected from the trip and more!Scar was an amazing tour guide!

Scar was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and prompt at picking us up from our hotel lobby when scheduled, He made us feel safe the entire time. We visited the elephant orphanage where we took eleph-ies with the babies and then it was off to feeding giraffes near Giraffe Manor. Next we visited the bead factory where we got a tour of how these beads are created by hand. All entrance fees were paid for. Finally Scar took us to a traditional Kenyan lunch, which was wonderful. I highly recommend this tour! You will not be disappointed!!!Victor was a great driver and everything was very well managed. Would highly recommend. All 3 activities were awesome and lunch was excellent as well.
