About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Zane P0 contributionsVery bad serviceThe Kenya tour was an incredible experience with breathtaking landscapes and wildlife. However, the accommodation left much to be desired. The bed was uncomfortable, with a thin mattress and poor support, making it hard to get a restful night’s sleep.Written 16 March 2025
- DayTrip247470369570 contributionsFun and knowledgeable tour.We had a great experience today with Watson as our Guide and Driver. We started with a game drive in Nairobi National Park and then visited the Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Center, and we had time for a bead factory tour as well. Watson was prompt, an excellent driver and well knowledgeable of the park and its ins and outs, including the animals. We got to see lions, zebras, hippos, giraffes, gazelles, impalas, rhinos, baboons, etc. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks!Written 14 March 2025
- Daminda P0 contributionsOur tour guide a watson was really nice and helpful.Great and saw many of them from very close distance. Especially the lions. Never thought I could see them that closer. So overall great experience.Written 14 March 2025
- sophiek4330 contributionsBest value for best tour!This is THE BEST value and THE BEST day trip. It is a NON-STOP, jam -packed day. Walton, our guide and driver was wonderful. An early start meant that we were among the first in the National Park and saw giraffes silhouetted against the sunrise , and sleepy rhinos that wouldn't get off the roadway! In our pop-top four-wheeled vehicle we careened over dirt roads and saw a great number of animals. Walton was a font of knowledge, and keen on making sure that we'd seen everything. His timing was impeccable and we were right on time for the baby elephant lunch. Then off to the giraffe center where he took pictures of us feeding the giraffes. Visits to a lovely bead/ jewelry center (the sales support Masai women and children) and Isak Dinesen's estate rounded out the fabulous day (with a tsop in a nice resturant for lunch) . TIPS: Important to know that the National Park (credit card ), the Sheldrik Elephant Sanctuary (cash only!) and Giraffe Centre (credit card ) all require an additional entrance fee. Musts: hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and water!Written 12 March 2025
- 321alexandern0 contributionsGreat safari dayWe had an amazing tour and saw many wonderful animals like giraffes, lions, rhinos, crocodiles, hippos, and zebras. The visits to the Baby Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Center were fantastic! Our guide, Watson, was skilled and very friendly. Highly recommended!Written 11 March 2025
- Cruiser427080799950 contributionsNational park half dayVery quick and easy to book. The driver contacted me the day before to confirm details. The safari driver was great and took us deep into the park. Although no lion but we saw everything else in abundance. Would use this tour company again !Written 10 March 2025
- rohitu1620 contributionsHad a great timeThe trip was great. Watson, our guide, took extra effort to ensure we saw all the animals and got to take great pictures of them. We also saw the elusive lions! There was a tour guide to help us at the Giraffe Center as well. I had a flight to catch immediately after the experience and Watson ensured I made it back in time as planned.Written 9 March 2025
- wendymalt0 contributionsFabulous Nairobi experience.This trip was fabulous and Watson our driver was a star. It was a full on day with lots packed in but we were never rushed. Watson was knowledgeable and humorous. The perfect combination!Written 9 March 2025
- rwandaa20240 contributionsGreat experiencePicked up from my hotel in Nairobi at 05h30AM, head to Nairobi NP, started with game drive, elephants orphanage (Cheldrick center) , Giraffe center and lastly Kobe tough, was great with our honest,professional and knowledgeable guide Watson. Can’t wait to go further with Kenya Tours &SafarisWritten 9 March 2025
- Shameika V0 contributionsGood time with EdwinI had a great time on safari with Edwin. We saw lions, giraffes, and many other animals he helped us to spot throughout the park. Half day was just the right amount of time as well.Written 5 March 2025
- sophiek4330 contributionsAn Outing Not to Be MissedA fabulous outing. Watson is THE guide you want to take you exploring. He was knowledgeable, caring and very kind. He is an outstanding driver-- important for the narrow and rutted dirt roads in the park. He helped a fellow drive get out of a ditch. His timing was perfect as we were able to see many animals in the National Park and still make the 11 appointment to see orphaned elephants at the excellent Sheldrick sanctuary. Do not miss taking this tour. It has been the highpoint of my 5 week trip in Africa.Written 4 March 2025
- michellehF387YO0 contributionsNairobi National LarkWe had an amazing time even was able to catch a kill. Giraffe Manor and the elephant orphanage was really cool and interactive. Watson our guide was very professional and informative.Written 25 February 2025
- 166fuzzyb0 contributionsExcellent experience with Watson!Watson was an excellent guide for our safari! He was very knowledgeable about each of the animals in Nairobi national park and managed to get us close to rhinos, lions, giraffes and baby crocodiles! After the national park we went to the sheldrick elephant orphanage where we got to see the orphan elephants be fed and play in the mud. After that we did lunch and Watson got us to try dawa for the first time which my partner and I loved! We finished the tour with the giraffe center and both got to experience feeding giraffes for the whole time. Throughout everything we had great conversation with Watson about Kenya and his experiences as a tour guide. Would strongly recommend him for anyone considering this tour!Written 24 February 2025
- jordis3360 contributionsWorth spending the dayThe tour is worth taking if you have a spare day in Nairobi. Other than spending the day in the city, you will be taken to a very close park with some animals. For me, seeing the rinos was worth paying the visit, but bear in mind that it is Nairobi, not the large nats parks of the West. The driver/guide was very friendly.Written 23 February 2025
- benardg20250 contributionsAmazing experience.Went on this tour with Watson. He was very timely with the pick and drop off. He knew all the right spots to find the animals, and had a great knowledge about all of them. We hoped to find a lion but they were all shy that day. Got to see a whole host of other animals. 10/10 experience seeing all the game with the city backdrop.Written 20 February 2025

From pick-up to drop off, this tour blew my mind and exceeded all expectations. The main host was very responsive and encouraging. The tour guide(driver and Safari guide) was not only knowledgeable, he was passionate to share a piece of his home and heritage with us. The drives around the safari was indeed an experience of a lifetime.
The tour included meals and accommodation. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time and had a blast. I was a solo traveler so that was important. Pick up from place of accommodation. The drive was a few hours, but you won't even notoce the time because you'll be too busy enjoying the scenic views along the way from the window.
It's hard to describe the feeling of being in Maasai Mara, you just have to experience it. I will not share specifically what I saw because you deserve to see it, feel it, and stay connected with it like I am now. I am urging anyone reading this that is thinking whether or not you should do it, DO IT. The place is beautiful, rich in history and culture, the people are amazing and it will give you something to remember forever.

The trip it self was good, but our driver PAUL was really bad. His car (the car we drove in the whole safari and to and from Maasai Mara) broke down 4 times. One on the way to safari and ones during the safari and to times one the way home. He used our spare time to fix his car, so both drives to and from Masai Mara took 8 hours instead of 6,5 maximum. And on the safari he did not do anything for us to find and see the animals. We arrived late all times and other times we did not see the animals.
- Be aware. He knows people, so on the drive to and from Masai Mara you will stop at his friends souvenir shop and they all say it is good prices, but it is not. They will try and force money out of tourist, so use your sense of reason.

BOOKING
Viator customer service provided some wrong details. Happy James (Onesmus) was so patient with my frustration, million questions and skepticism. He was so patient with me. I’m happy I believed him when he assured me I was in safe hands! Thank you.
TOUR GUIDE
Johnny Is a super star big 5 Safari tour guide. He knows how to position the vehicle right where the animals are for best viewing. He navigates through other tour guides with skill and precision. His eyes are tuned to wildlife all around and he finds a way to point it out while driving in rough terrain. He’s a a kind, hard-working man with a great attitude toward people and a love an knowledge of wildlife.
We loved the no pressure shopping and local hospitality.
VEHICLES
The vehicles really take beating in the rough safari terrain. Several packed repair sites make it obvious that it’s an unavoidable event on occasion. I’m thankful our safari car was in great working order, but certainly would understand if something happened. That animal territory terrain takes a beating on cars.
If it happens to you, just roll with it and choose to stay happy. You may be surprised to find out that “timing” works out on your favor!

The trip operator requested USD 80 per day in advance and would not accept me paying on arrival by card at the Masai Mara park.
The reason is at the park you get 24 hours, not just until the end of the day.
The operator was trying to obtain USD 240 knowing that we would not be there longer than 48 hours. I believe they fraudulently obtain an extra USD 80 for each foreign tourist.
I will not be using or recommending that tour operator again.
They were also rude to me when I objected paying by card, probably because of their lost profit, and suggested I cancelled, which I did and booked through another operator at approximately £100 less in superior accommodation.

Amazing Trip!
Even after a sticky start with van troubles, we saw nearly all the big 5 plus lots of extra animals over the 2 days. The camping set up was great, good traditional African food and good company made for a very enjoyable trip..even if the roads were very bumpy. Great guide, Ben, and good pick up and drop off service from James. All in all a great experience.
