Family Kenya holiday
Used Pullman’s throughout our Kenya holiday- airport transfer, full day in Nairobi and also 3 day safari to Masai Mara. All our drivers and guides were exceptional- very friendly and knowledgeable. Mary was our side for our Masai Mara safari. She was amazing - very knowledgeable and answered our questions but great fun. Her insights and local contacts meant she had up to date info of latest sightings. Mary really looked after us and helped make a memorable trip to the Masai Mara
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for this wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that every part of your Kenya holiday, from the airport transfer through to your Nairobi day and your three-day safari to the Masai Mara, was such a positive and memorable experience. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to Mary. It means a great deal to know that her knowledge, warmth, and sense of fun made your questions feel welcome throughout the journey, and that her local contacts and up-to-date insights on sightings helped make your time in the Masai Mara so special. We are equally pleased to hear that all of your drivers and guides throughout the trip met such a high standard. Thank you again for such generous praise and for recognising Mary by name. We hope to welcome your family back for another memorable adventure in Kenya in the future. Kind regards, Mohammed Hersi Director of Operations Pollman's Tours & Safaris

Amazing journey
The pollman agency organized us 12 days in Kenya, in safari mode with the monsai mara park, the naivasha lake, the amboseli park my criteria were well respected, we were very well accompanied by a guide. And the accommodations chosen were really great and then we ended our stay at diani beach. At PineWood hotel where the staff was absolutely adorable we didn't regret going to the rainy season because there were a lot less people the Kenyans are very nice The agency is really very specialized in the field. So we are very happy, we had no unforeseen events. All went perfectly

Unforgettable experience in Kenya, Africa
My first time visiting Kenya and first time in Africa is a period of my life that I will always remember. There are so many different aspects of the trip that made it so special to me and of of those is how friendly and knowledgeable the tour guides at Pollman's were. Dennis and Philip were two of the most amazing people that helped my trip in Kenya be so effortless and easy. From the moment I landed in Nairobi, my friend and I were picked up by Philip, who was so helpful by explaining what our next day will look like and that everything has been taken care of. He answered our lengthy questions, which we had a lot of, from the language to the culture and we were so grateful for that. During the trip, we were taken to the Giraffe Center, Carnivore restaurant, Blixen Museum, souvenir shopping and Tamambo restaurant. Philip and Dennis made the car rides so fun and they were always so joyous and very helpful in making sure my friend and I had the best time, and took us to places that were important to us. They listened to what we wanted to do and drove us there while sharing stories about Kenya, which we appreciated so so much. It was nice to have people that genuinely cared, especially when you're visiting a new country. By the end, I truly think Dennis and Philip are not only tour guides and employees of Pollman's, but very good people and rafikis (friends) that my friend and I were grateful to have met. Thank you so much for making this trip so wonderful and memorable for my 30th birthday celebration and we will definitely be back next year. Asante Sana!

Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre,: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, cost?
+
Prices start at $154 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 Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre,?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre,?
+
Around 1 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Nairobi Tour with Carnivore Restaurant, Blixen Museum, Giraffe Centre, 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.

+
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.
