Excellent service, tailored to the client
We had a three day safari, organised in an excellent way by Advanture 360 Africa, tailored to our time and wishes. Our driver and guide Japheth was excellent, knowledgeable and helpful. The company organised additional services for us like domestic flights and transfers.

Just perfect
We just loved our experience with John. We wouldn't change anything! The accommodation was stunning, the park was wonderful and most of all John is the perfect guide. Polite, always on time, respectful of our needs, prepared on the animals, friendly! We had other safari experience but this was really on another level.
Response from the operator: Glad you loved everything about your safari experience from the guide John, accomodation and the park. Thank you for trusting and booking with us, much appreciated. We will definetly be happy to be of service to you again in the very near future.

A great trip all around from start to finish.
Had a great experience. Stayed at Rhino Camp for 2 nights and experienced incredible hospitality and amazing food. Rustic without being uncomfortable. Meru was my choice having been to other game parks previously. We saw small pockets of the Big Five excluding leopard and only 3 other vehicles during our 2 days there. For first timers, other preserves might provide more animal sightings, but Meru was worth seeing. John was a great driver/guide and Brian was a pleasure to work with putting the trip together. The price was much less than other tour companies for the same accommodations and experiences.
Response from the operator: Jambo John, Thank so much for giving us an opportunity to be of service to you. Glad all went on well and loved Meru national park-The complete wilderness. For sure none is like Meru. Glad John and Brian were pleasant to work with. We are happy to serve you to another different destination/safari experience when you visit Kenya again. Cheers!

You don't get what you book.
We booked a tailor made visit specifically for us as we wanted to visit Elsas grave in Meru and George's camp in Kora. The itinerary was sent back including these destinations. A jalopy arrived which broke down. 10.5 hrs later, no lunch as driver tried to take us to a radom place off the street. Awful Ikweta camp lovely. All guests had visited grave but our jalopy couldn't make it. We were missold ill-advised and ripped off. I asked if a refund in part might be a good idea. Ignored to date. Do not use. Use Sunworld. Brilliant customer service and safari
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking your time to write this review, appreciated. We regret that your safari didn't go as smoothly as we would have wished. The turn of events are definitely not a representation of Adventure 360 at all. We are very sorry for all that went wrong of which were all beyond us. I.e. the rains that made it impossible to access most parts of the park because of the many rivers & streams at Meru national park which became impassible. We would have loved to refund/compensate but honestly all was paid for and you took all the activities and the 4 days safari in full. Once again we are very sorry for all that went wrong with your safari. We would have liked to take time back and redo it but unfortunately there are things that we still wouldn't be able to control.

Having fun and taking pictures of wild animals!
We were lucky enough to use the services of 360 Adventures! Charity and John were wonderful, everything was organized very good. They worked professionally and we are very much satisfied. Every time when we wanted to take better pictures of the animals, John responded to our requests. And Charity with her shining smile brought cheerful mood. I gladly could recommend this company. The Accommodation and the food were very good. Thanks to 360 Adventures, we had wonderful time during our safari !
Response from the operator: It was a great pleasure meeting you and group. We are glad to read that you enjoyed your Kenya safari/tour experience. Thank you so much for taking your time to drop us a review, much appreciated. We look forward to offering best of our services to you, friends and family again.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 days Meru National Park Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How does 3 days Meru National Park Safari compare to similar tours in Nairobi?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 63. At $523 it sits above the typical similar option ($58), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is 3 days Meru National Park Safari best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 72-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is 3 days Meru National Park Safari good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $523, above the $58 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.
How much does 3 days Meru National Park Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $523 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 days Meru National Park Safari take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 3 days Meru National Park Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 days Meru National Park Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 days Meru National Park Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 days Meru National Park Safari?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 days Meru National Park Safari start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 3 days Meru National Park Safari?
+
Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; Lunch; All Fees and Taxes; and Dinner. Not included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3 days Meru National Park Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 103 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.
What languages is 3 days Meru National Park Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
