Fantastic Safari with driver Watson - Exceeded expectations. Saw 10+ lions, giraffes, rhinos, zebra, wildebeest, ostrich, gazelle, hippos and more. Watson was a great driver. He is good friends with all of the other drivers so they let him know where the best sightings are. Very knowledgeable and accommodating. Can’t recommend enough. And cheap!

Small National Park Safari - The safari is great but due to road and speed children move a lot but fortunately we had child seat and adapted it so our daughter was able to sleep I recommend to see the animals naturally don’t expect a Zoo I realized since people ask to see the lions there were harassed by tourists and insist drivers to see them closed. (only an Advised)

Highly recommended, many animals in just half a day - Perfect trip if you want to see many different animals in just a short amount of time. Our guide Watson was excellent in telling us about the animals and ensuring that we would see as many animals as possible. Thanks you!

Beautiful experience and james is one of the best. It came before the others and then they copied it - Beautiful experience. It had rained and we entered the park at 6am. James is Super Expert and knew where to find the Big 5. In fact, we've seen a lot of them. Giraffes, lionesses who were on the street next to us. Rhinos, ostriches, hippos, crocodiles, you name it. James would arrive before the others and then the other jeeps would arrive.

Full day tour - This was such an amazing day. James was our tour guide and he did such a great job. He ensured we saw as many animals as possible in the safari. We then did the elephant sanctuary followed by the beads factory (which was an unexpected treat) followed by a great lunch at a local restaurant the giraffe centre and Karen Blixen museum. It was a long day but worth every minute. We paid upfront $44 person which covers just the transportation. We then pay at the entrance with each activity which James told us the price in the beginning

Each visit is different! Our driver was very calm and patient, especially with all the stops to look at birds (my husband!). - It's always a delight to visit this park. It has a rich variety of wildlife and is very easy to get to....and not so busy especially during the week. A vehicle with a pop up roof is recommended. The walk to the hippo pool with the Masai guide was interesting as we saw lots of evidence of rhino and buffalo activity. We were lucky to see a young female lion carrying her tiny cub. We saw rhino, crocodile and hippo, giraffe, zebra, warthogs and plenty of antelopes, and lots of birds. If you have time, it's great to visit different parks as they all have their unique offerings. Rhinos in Nakuru and Ol' Pejeta for example, Wild Dog in Tsavo East, elephants and views in Amboseli and lots of cats in Masai Mara ( if you don't mind the crowds.
