Nairobi National Park
George was our guide for the Park and made sure we saw as many animals as possible - including lions, giraffes, several impala/antelope/gazelle, zebras, white and black rhinos, crocodiles, hippos and so many more. The park is beautiful and serene and it was cool to see the city skyline in the background - made for great photos.

Elephant Orphanage
Definitely book through a tour company and pair with the Park - it is more cost effective and easier logistically. This was a true highlight - you get to see an adorable baby rhino and 27 baby elephants. They tell you their backstory and you can ask questions with the Center’s experts. It was really heart warming and you can tell they care for the animals here.

Giraffe Center
A fun stop - you get so close to the giraffes and it is fun to feed them. Jane and Selestine planned it so that I would get there when it was less busy and helped secure my ticket / giraffe food.

Other
In addition to the three stops we had lunch at a really tasty Kenyan restaurant where I could shop after at a local art store. I didn’t feel pressure to buy anything but left with a few nice gifts (marble chess set, a few animal figurines and a football jersey). We also had the option to stop at a Masai beadwork cultural center where you can see how the beading is made. As a plus, they also drove me through a few neighborhoods so I could see as much of the city as possible.

Overall - I can’t say enough positive things about my experience and was really happy to have booked this specific tour!

  Really reccomend this safari trip. Nice accomodation with good food. Our tour guide ( Harry) was amazing.
It was wonderful experience !

  The trip to hell's gate and lake naivasha was super nice. We cycled 8 kms in hell's gate and stopped to see zebras, wild beasts, buffaloes and giraffes. Then hiked... read more a bit and then cycled back. Then we had a very nice and much needed lunch at lake naivasha and then took a wonderful boat ride. Everything was very well organized and all guides were accommodating and cheerful. Chris who drove us to each location was especially pleasant.

A few things to be mindful of:
- The gorge is closed - I wish the tour company had told us, so if you're keen about hiking in the gorge make sure you ask before you book.
- Be ready for quite a workout: cycling downhill then uphill on the way back.

Overall, an excellent and highly recommended trip with African Beast Tours :))
