    We ate some crocodile meat

    On the 29th of December we went on the 1-Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen Blixen, Lunch Carnivore tour. Our driver Joel was great. It was a very nice introduction to Kenya. We really enjoyed feeding giraffes and eating crocodile meat.

    Best tour guide in Nairobi!

    I’ve taken several of these types of tours before and this one was the best I’ve been on. Joel was personable, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. I would highly recommend using this company for your tours.

    Response from the operator: Hello Jennings, Thank you for the positive review. Its a delight that you had a fantastic tour and thank you too for choosing us. We can't wait to host you again some day. Cheers.

    Outstanding!

    Joel was fantastic as a guide! Everything went smoothly and without a hitch. He even fit in a quick tour of a bead factory because we had a little down time before we went to the restaurant.

    Response from the operator: Hello Ted, Thank you for sharing your review with us. Glad to hear that you had an amazing tour and all went well. Looking forward to hosting you again.

    Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How much does Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore cost?

    +

    Prices start at $80 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 Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore?

    +

    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 Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore?

    +

    Around 3 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore 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 Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. 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 Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Lunch; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Tips/Gratuties. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 11 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Day Tour Giraffe Center, Karen blixen and Lunch at Carnivore wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
