This louge is ok to just spend time and wait for your flight pretty decent as it has internet access tv bathroom with showers if you want to take a shower. When I went with my wife it was just me and her there so was nice to stay somewhere safe. I've added some pictures

I booked a holiday through Titan Holidays who use Pullmans in Kenya. My overall impression of Pullmans and their drivers knowledge is that they are absolutely brilliant. My point in writing this review is to warn other ladies of the danger of making friends with one particular driver, Lazarus Kithetic. I met him on my first trip to Kenya last... More

Have to say that Pollmans were exceptionally organised during oure 12 day visit to Kenya. We were met @ Nairobi on arrival from Heathrow and given all the information we needed for our short stay in Nairobi City - we were efficiently transferred to the hotel. We were collected on time 2 days later and transferred for an internal flight... More

We have just returned from a 10 day trip to Kenya, booked through Safari 365 in Sydney and facilitated by Pollmans in Kenya. From the moment we arrived in Nairobi the service was exceptional. Our accommodation was top notch and our drivers Peter and RopKoy were very knowledgable and obliging. As we travelled on a private tour - just the... More

We booked our entire 2+ week Safari through a well known travel company in the US (review coming). They chose Pollman to do some pick up and drop off... and we were disappointed by their level of service. On arrival overnight in Nairobi from London, they met us at the plane but did not have our tickets for the next... More

I have only now been able to think about writing a review about pollmans and their guide as was so angry with our safari tour experience. On arrival at the airport we come across the pollmans office, they did not seem to know what was going on. We had booked to go to the elephant orphanage that day but the... More

My husband and I together with three close friends used Kenya in September 2011. We used Pollman's Tours and Safaris. Our safari extended over ten days, with the first and last nights being in Nairobi, four nights in Masai Mara and four nights in the Lake Navaisha/Nakuru area. Pollman's were the ultimate in professionalism in all respects. Our guide, Frank... More

We (four adults), booked Pollman’s for a seven day Kenyan safari in July of 2011 through another company in Canada, Sita World Tours. For the most part Pollman’s was a professionally run company that took very good care of us. I agree with some of the other reviewers that upon arrival at the airport in Nairobi, that their representative was... More

We booked through a UK company, Africa Safari Direct. I won't review them except to say that they use Pollman's as their local vendor of choice. I have good things and bad things to say. The good thing is that Pollman's is so large that they have the capacity to get your problems solved quickly. The bad is that it... More
