Great experience.Lawrence was very knowledgeable and made it possible to get amazing views of the animals. Highly recommend!

Even though the trip itself was amazing, our driver was great and we saw more animals than expected, I cannot give the trip more than two stars due to providing very misleading imporant trip details which left us a bit sad at moments. First is they show a safari jeep in the description and don’t specify the vehicle further in the text. So I obviously expected to ride the jeep, but what we got was a street style cramped minivan. Not a good first touch at 5:45am. Second is, in description stated game drive will take 4 to 5 hours. We entered the park at 6:45am and left at 10am precisely = 3hours 15minutes inside the park including a break for a snack and bathroom. We were then taken to a bar and a souvenir shop and thought we’d return for one more hour but no, after an hour in the bar we were advised we will be taken back to our hotel by another minivan. I believe I would do it again - but it would be nice if one knew what to expect, rather than to be kinda let down twice.

If you think going on a half day tour isn’t worth it. You will be surprised. The tour was great. Lawrence was our amazing guide and friend. There were many tours in the park and most guides know each other and give tips on their radios to each other. Many guides just follow the other guides. Not Lawrence. He really knows the park and he would break away from the crowds and find great animal sightings. If you can get Lawrence as your guide, he will not let you down. Thanks Lawrence!!

I had an incredible experience with Lawrence as our safari tour guide. His ability to get us to the front of the queue for the best wildlife sightings was remarkable, ensuring we didn’t miss a thing. Lawrence’s knowledge of the animals and their habitats was impressive, and he shared fascinating insights throughout the tour, making it both educational and enjoyable. On top of that, he’s a fantastic driver, navigating the terrain with ease and making us feel completely safe and comfortable. Lawrence truly made our safari unforgettable—highly recommended!

Very flexible staff, well communicating, very kind and our guide Edwin was just the most charming, kind and funny guide you can have. As a former environmentalist he knows everything too. Very informative.

Edwin was our tour guide and he was awesome. Highly recommended. Very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. Thanks Edwin for the trip

Half day safari. Let's go step by step. The team picked us on time, sending prior messages about entry fees, and how to sort it out by ourselves (if needed they would and did help few participants on the gate so no worries). Van with outlets to charge your phones, cameras etc, and possible hotspot. So as described. With really friendly guides. Experience itself: A few hours in the park seeing every possible animal from zebras to lions. The drive was rough sometimes but well what do you want, it is a safari, plus nothing you can't handle. The team will stop often so you can take many photos and videos of different animals, plants etc. The only minus was ruching exiting after the last stop. But that was on the way out, with hundreds of photos so nothing major. Overall: great team, prepared to give you a fantastic experience, doing their best so you can see as much as possible in the park. Worth every penny

Vey good experience The guide was very professional. The lodges were so nice (except Amboseli Penety resort which was more common). The scenery was wonderful. I would have preferred driving less, and stopping more. Also I had made a safari in Tanzania 20 years ago and was a bit disappointed here there is really less animals. But that’s not the fault of Kenya bush.

We made our booking the night before and they managed to fit us in for 6 am the next day! Edwin our driver was very helpful and knowledgable. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the lions on our trip as they were hiding, however we still enjoyed the experience nonetheless. They even allowed us to change our drop off location and offered to pick us back up too. Would defo recommend if travelling solo or in a small group. The company is very accommodating and friendly!

We organised this the day before through Trip Advisor, and it went very smoothly. It was an incredible morning. Our guide was Eric who did a fantastic job maneuvering our vehicle through queues of vehicles, keeping us in a good spot to view the animals. We saw all the animals on our list quite easily. Would highly recommend. Make sure to organise your park admission before arriving at the gate (I didn't) as it is quite stressful otherwise. Eric was a great help though.

I hope that this honest review is helpful and fair for anyone considering which tour company to use. The magic of having a National Park on the edge of a city is still very special to experience. In short, our trip with Kenyan Bush Expeditions was Average. Not Poor and not Great. Correspondence leading up to our trip day was clear. We were collected on time - the vehicle arrived early, in fact. However we waited for 40 minutes for a pair of tourists who could not be contact by phone nor by thier hotel room service, which meant that we arrived at the gate after 7am instead of at 0630. The entry into the park was VERY unclear - had we been requested to arrange our eCitizen park entry tickets before, this would have been much easier. The guide asked us if we had this sorted, which was the first time we were told that it was required. Added to this, we had loaded our spending money onto an Mpesa account, which has worked excellently throughout Kenya BUT we found out at the National Park gate that only residents and citizens can be paid for with Mpesa - foreigners must use a credit card - the function on the system does not allow for Mpesa to be used for non residents. That was not ideal as we had to make a quick plan. We got into the park at 0745. It was enjoyable to be able to stand up in the vehicle and few from the opening in the roof. I would recommend this, as you can see far further than seated. We were never offered on board wifi, so make sure you check that if you choose to book with a company who claims this as a selling point. Our guide Peter drove us around for 3hrs. Im assuming it was this time because we arrived and hour late into the park. He did not offer much information during the trip beyond responding to our few questions. Upon exiting, we took what seems to be a mandatory stop at a curio shop. We were ushered into a specific shop instead of being able ot choose where to buy coffee. Our Kenyan friend was also asked on the side, by the driver to help us to buy because "tourists have money". Clearly he did not listen that we are two governement school teachers from SA. But jokes aside, this was totally inappropriate for him to ask this of our friend. We were not fussy to see many animals as we know how game drives go - its the luck of the draw on the day. We were lucky to see rhinos so close, but no cats on the day. I would rate this experience as Average because we arrived late due to the tour company choosing to wait a long time for people who never surfaced, we did not get guided rather mostly just driven around, and we could have stayed in the park an hour extra to compensate for the late start in order for us to try to see at least a cat, even if we didnt manage to, the intent from the driver would have been appreciated. There are so many tour companies lining up to give tours in Nairobi. We certainly saw some animals. The park is 117sqkm so its a guven that you will see animals. But I would say rather pick another company who gets you into the park early, guides you with interesting information along the way, who assists tourists with the Ecitizen entry before arrivng at the park and who takes you to a coffee spot afterwards that is not both tired and prescriptive in order to, I would guess, make some extra commission from you buying something from the curio shop. Once again, the magic of having a National Park on the edge of a city is still very special to experience.

Thank You (Asente) to Edwin our guide for today, he does is best to offer us an amazing Safari in Nairobi ! We discover more than 20 different animals, it was the best way to start our week en Kenya, such a beautiful experience ! Julian and Elisa from France :)

The views were amazing but honestly Shem was the best tour guide. Got us up close to the lions and hung out and just had a great time.

Great experience all around!! 5/5. Peter was a great tour guide and worked so well with the other vehicles to provide a great experience and access to view all the animals. Edwin was also a great host!

We had such a great time on our half day safari to Nairobi National Park! Our tour guide Peter was great at providing information about the animals and nature all around us. I also appreciated how the tour company worked as a team to ensure every vehicle had a chance to see the coveted animals (i.e. lions, zebras, rhinos). Edwin was a tour guide from another vehicle and he was also a great host!
