Giraffes and Elephants - Galvin did a great job, he got us to the best area to view and pat the elephants. Seeing the Giraffes early is better as there aren't big crowds so you get more 1 on 1 time with the Giraffes. I would recommend this tour 👍

Kevin: Nairobi’s Star Guide for an Unforgettable Adventure - Kevin is hands-down the ultimate guide for exploring Nairobi. He took us to the Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre with such infectious enthusiasm that every moment felt truly special. Always patient, answering every question with a smile, and with an uncanny knack for positioning us in the best spots to soak in the views and capture unforgettable memories, he made the experience absolutely phenomenal. Kevin doesn’t just show you Nairobi—he makes you fall in love with it. Five stars are honestly not enough for this legend!

A must-do tour in Nairobi - We had an excellent time on this tour! Our guide, Faith, was very friendly and knowledgeable. She provided background information on the way to each location and answered all our questions. She went above and beyond to help us sort out an issue we ran into with a KWS ticket, which was truly appreciated. The David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Center were fantastic experiences. We opted to visit the Karen Blixen Museum too, which is remarkably preserved with many original features. The Kobe Bead and Leather shop highlighted the artistry of the women working there. All-in-all, it was a wonderful way to spend the day and I recommend the tour and Faith to anyone visiting Nairobi!

Amazing close up experience with 2 of the big 7! Babies too - This was a last minute booking when we arrived Nairobi on Sunday night for a Monday morning 8:30am pick up. Picked this tour bc it was a 5 hr experience vs full day and start time was kinder. Faith was an amazing, friendly and kind guide. We enjoyed our Swahili primer - Jambo! Asante. She showed us the best places to stand to see/pet the baby elephants. And instructed us on which giraffes were most gentle to feeding to avoid head butts. We had a private car to safely hold our belongings at various stops. Wonderful experience!
