Great Way to See the Sights - Great way to see the sights! Our guide was so knowledgeable he got us to the best spots for the elephant viewing. Note: bring the $45 in cash for the national park entrance fee and make sure your bills are newer. The bead factory was a highlight as well. Highly recommend!

Peter was GREAT! Great tours! - We had a great tour! Peter was a fantastic guide. Besides going to both sanctuaries (my husband liked the elephant one the most; I liked the giraffe one the most), he helped us with finding a bank, taking us to a souvenir place and taking us to Carnivore, the restaurant. The van was clean. Peter was very kind, gracious and helpful. I would go with this tour company again. Ask for Peter!

Great way to see the... - Great way to see the Giraffe Centre and Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Only thing is that you still need to pay the $45 entry fee to Nairobi National Park so you might as well do a game drive as well. Joe was an excellent guide.

Nice experience - Nice option while visiting Nairobi. Got to see the elephants up close. The caretakers do a great job with them. Good for adults, couples or families.

Unforgettable experience - Picked up at the hotel on time by a friendly guide Titus, he made sure we arrived at the sanctuaries first to get in line before the crowds. The whole day was unforgettable.

Excellent tour with bureaucracy. - Steven our guide was very good. The extra $45 fee per person to get into the National Park should be more prominently mentioned in the tour description as I didn’t bring that much cash with me. That should somehow be put in the tour price. Also, tourist tip, if you don’t use WhatsApp you may miss communication with your guide.
