        • 1
          The tour starts by pick you from your Nairobi Hotel/Accommodation. Arrive Kiambethu Tea Estate 11am, main house. Marcus and Fiona welcome you with some home made biscuits (yum!) and of course tea, before regaling tales of the farm and the tea making process The gardens around the home are lovely and well worth a stroll, especially to catch glimpses of the resident colobus monkeys! Also included in the tour is a walk through the indigenous forest that is still preserved (most was cleared for the tea farms). The guide is highly entertaining and comical! The tour ends with a relaxed lunch. Again most of the produce is locally sourced and when making reservations inform them of any dietary requirements! Lunch is a 3 course affair with complementary beverages, soft drinks and of course teas and coffee! Return to the city arriving at around 4:30pm.

          Great adventure to Amboseli
          We took a day tour from Nairobi to Amboseli national park, it was a really great experience, specifically thanks to our amazing tour guide Joe, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience overall. We managed to see a lot of different animals and it was an incredible experience!

          Great half day spent in Nairobi.
          This was a great way to spend a half day in Nairobi. Driver picked us up at our hotel. Spent some time at the elephant orphanage with up close experiences. Then on our way back to town we also stopped at a business where disadvantaged women have learned to make ceramic beads, hand paint them, and then have a small store on site where you can buy all of the beautiful products they make.

          Picture taking safari
          John was excellent and we saw more animals than I thought we would. He would stop and let us take pictures whenever we asked him to stop. I highly recommend him.

          Price tag for tour is not all, international visitors have to pay $50 more
          The elephant orphanage itself is a great cause and i didn't mind paying a very high fee to visit since it is a good cause. What is upsetting is that you can't even go with the tour you buy! You have to buy a separate access fee to the park, which is $45 US dollars. Once again, a good cause, but it feels dishonest to pay over $100 and then be told that you need to pay 50% more. Just charge the full price from the start...

          Good visit but don't forget to add park entry fee.
          Just do it. A little pricy but I'm would still recommend. Be sure to get your park entry tickets before you go. The price on most tours do not include this. If you don't have tickets before hand you will need to scramble using the guides cell phone to buy these $43 USD tickets. Tickets are not sold at the entry gate. You will likely hold up your whole group.

          Choose your travel agency carefully
          The animals and landscapes were great, but the accommodation was very different from what the travel agent Gracepatt said. The accommodation was temporarily changed, and it was not "similar" as advertised, but cheaper and cheaper accommodation. What's even worse is that when you try to contact the company, there's really no response. I think I still enjoy traveling here, but I will never book with this Gracepatt travel agency again.

          Fun and diverse day trip
          We enjoyed meeting and feeding the giraffes at the Giraffe Center. The highlight of the day for us was the elephant orphanage. Seeing the baby elephants being fed by the keepers was delightful. There was also a tiny baby rhino. Try to get in the front of the line for the best viewing. The bead factory provides jobs for Masaii women and the jewelry is lovely. Our final stop gave us the opportunity to see many of the ethnic dances of Kenya.

          A Must Go!
          A must do. Its not only fun to see the wee orphans but the rhino is also the star of the show. Its very informative as well, the (1) hour overview as to why each elephant and rhino is an orphan is very interesting. I would go again in a heart beat.

          Wonderful event and would go again
          A big traffic jam started the evening, but once we got there, we were entertained by a group of four for over two hours. The group was fantastic. During dinner a group of about 20 performed dances and it was amazing to see how limber the entertainers were. Food was very good with offerings of goat, beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, fish, horse, and my favorite of crocodile. The crocodile had a smoked flavor and was very tender. Was too full to try the ostrich. It was amazing to taste foods that I normally would not eat. Would definitely go again if in Nairobi.

          Great tour. Phenomenal tour guide. One thing I would change.
          It was just me and the tour guide this day. My tour guide Stephen was phenomenal. He slowed down for photos, assisted me with getting my ticket to the park, and took pictures and videos for me since I was alone. I couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. One thing I would like to mention that I think should be changed somehow. The price to the park is an additional fee that is mandatory because you are driving through it to get to where you’re going. If they could provide instructions on how to pay it or a link beforehand would be beneficial because the park doesn’t accept cash. Creating the account was a hassle due to the passport photo that kept zooming in on the picture and they didn’t accept certain cards. Because I wasn’t provided a link beforehand it just caused additional unnecessary stress, but thanks to Stephen it all got taken care of. Something to adjust for future tourists. Otherwise, I had an amazing day! Would highly recommend.

          Highly recommended great experience
          Experienced travelers myself and have done many Afrikarrizen. We therefore booked a private safari trip from Nairobi to the Nakuru nature parks, a boat trip on Lake Naivasha and a bike tour through Hells Gate. The driver Stephen Matuku offered us a great experience, thought along with us, was flexible where necessary and made good suggestions. Gracepatt offered us an excellent price-quality offer where we could choose our own accommodation locations. Highly recommended!

          Brilliant
          Booked this trip and my driver was wonderful gotme there early and was worth a wait as it is a rush to get a good view. Bear that in mind. Wear good shoes. Well worth it as you get close to elephants and the baby rhino will steal your heart

        I love tea and this tour was not only a stunning change from the bustle of Nairobi city center, but I also learned so much about tea. Fiona and her staff were so welcoming and informative and my guide, Stephen, is so friendly and thoughtful. I forgot to ask someone to take a photo of me while I was feeding a monkey. Stephen anticipated this and took photos for me! All around, such a lovely experience and I'd love to come back.
