  Harrison was our guide to Ol Pejeta & he was incredible all around! We lucked out & had him all to ourselves, which was such a wonderful perk to the... read more whole trip! He promptly picked us up at 4:50am & drove round trip (4-4.5 hrs one way) with no complaints. He made sure to stop at the equator line in Nanyuki for some coffee & a bathroom break before continuing our journey to the park. The roads are choppy, but Harrison handled it like a pro! He is insanely knowledgeable about all the animals, and he made sure we saw everything we wanted. We desperately hoped to see the last 2 remaining White Northern Rhino’s & Harrison made that happened (even though we didn’t have reservations) — that was the highlight of our game drive! At the end of our game, he took us to the most beautiful restaurant on a Trout Farm. It was so delicious! The yummiest treat after a long day of adventure. 1000/10 recommend this trip to Ol Pejeta with Harrison & African Beast Tours and Safaris.

  Great trip with our driver Nas! Mercy was very nice and helped us a lot to organize the safari at Masaai Mara. I would repeat the experience with them.

  Our driver was super respectful and got us where we needed to go! Our first time in Kenya and we would definitely book these services again!

  Visiting the National Park Nairobi, Elephant Orphanage, and Giraffe Centre was an incredible experience. It was great see wildlife including lions and zebras. My guide Watson was very professional and... read more he knows where we should visit. With his kind guide, I was also able to get to the Elephant Orphanage which was heartwarming. I highly recommend this tour especially if you are visiting Nairobi for the first time. It will offer an unforgettable moment in Nairobi.

  Everything about my interactions with African Beast were excellent, from the prompt and helpful support whilst I planned my trip to the tours themselves, both of which were unforgettable.
... read more /> For my first tour, my day 1 in Kenya I opted for a tour that included the Giraffe Centre, The David Sheldrick trust elephant orphanage and a tour through the Nairobi National Park. All were superb. My guide, Harrison was fantastic, informative, a great spotter and a safe driver. Separate reviews will be posted on each visit. Harrison managed the day brilliantly. It is worth noting that the Orphanage show is from 11-12 and is within the park. You therefore need to either tour the NP before 11 or after 12 as any reentry to the park costs $45 pp. We chose to travel to the park after the orphanage which did have the advantage of visiting the giraffe centre when it was quiet. However it does mean you should buy any snacks / drinks to tide you through the afternoon before entering the park. Although our 4 hr game drive was in the heat of the day it was hugely successful as we saw 1 black, 8 white rhino , numerous ostrich, antelope, giraffe, birds. Harrison was amazing at spotting contributing to an unforgettable day out.

My second day tour was the Hells Gate & Lake Navaisha day trip. Again a well organised activity by my driver David who also gave confidence in his driving. After a brief Rift Valley escarpment view we headed straight to Hells Gate for the cycle and canyon walk before the sun reached its zenith. My local guide there, Reggan, was excellent, informative on the local history and very patient. The 8 km cycle to Hells gate is extremely scenic with chances for some wild life viewings en route and being mainly gently downhill is accessible to all. Once at Hells gate we opted to immediately do the 2km plus 50 minute walk before it got any hotter. The walk involves a 15 minute ish walk on an unshaded track before heading down into the gorge on a well constructed staircase to the valley floor. It’s a spectacular walk along the valley floor with great views, the odd waterfall and a few hot springs. Slight clambering is required in a few spots and it does entail walking along the mainly dry river bed so decent footwear definitely a plus. After walking down the valley we exited from a separate staircase.

The next activity was a 1 hr boat rip on Lake Navaisha ($25 US pp) which we were able to do before lunch thanks to deciding not to cycle back to the gate which would have been hot, exhausting and taken an hour or so. Again a great decision. The Lake Navaisha boat trip from Lake Navaisha Crescent Camp was above expectations with the boatman excellent in showing off the huge variety of birdlife including approx 25 sea eagles whilst the extent of game we could see on Crescent island was unexpected. After lunch we then had a smooth return to Nairobi in under 2 hours.

African Beast is highly recommended for any tours based on their helpful input to the planning, and the very high quality of the guides and drivers I came across with the combination providing two unforgettable days.
