  • 5Enjoyable Afternoon Learning Experience.

    I had a one on one tour with John. He is an excellent guide being not only informative about the history of areas and buildings we walked past but also about life in Kenya in general. Very personable and easy to listen to. I got a really good feel for the CBD and life in the city in general. Highly recommended from me.

    John and Steven were very knowledgeable about the history of the city and answered all of our questions. We felt safe walking around in the city with them.

  • 4Nice guide, safe experience, but clarify if someone asks for additional cash payment

    I recommend this tour for its knowledgeable guide, who shared Nairobi’s history and culture, welcomed questions, and ensured our safety. As a solo female traveller, I felt comfortable throughout. One concern was an unexpected request for extra cash due to hotel distance, despite my hotel being a listed pickup point. Tripadvisor support confirmed it was invalid, and the operator later clarified no payment was required.

About Nairobi

Nairobi is Kenya's energetic capital and the starting point for East African safari, with a national park where wildlife roams beneath the city skyline.

Nairobi National Park lies just beyond the suburbs, and its lions, rhinos, giraffes and buffalo can be seen with skyscrapers on the horizon. Close by, an orphanage raises young elephants rescued from across Kenya, and the Giraffe Centre lets visitors meet rare Rothschild's giraffes eye to eye from a raised platform.

Top-ranked sights in Nairobi: Nairobi National Park, Giraffe Centre, Lake Naivasha.
