    Highly recommend Wasili Kenya Safaris

    My husband and I were in Nairobi for a short stay and booked a 2 day, 1 night safari with Wasili Kenya Safaris to Lake Nakuru National Park. The entire experience was fantastic, from booking to execution! Using WhatsApp I was able to communicate with a representative who helped me book our adventure almost a year in advance! When we arrived in Kenya (from Washington, DC), the rep messaged me to confirm we arrived in the country safely and to confirm our pick up time from our hotel. Our guide Peter was on time and proved to be very knowledgeable about all things, from historical details about Kenya to the wildlife we observed on the safari. Peter was also extremely kind, caring and responsive to all our requests and questions! We stayed at the Cliff Lodge which was also a wonderful experience! The staff were friendly and service was top notch! The accommodations and meals were exemplary! We highly recommend Wasili Kenya Safaris and The Cliff Resort!

    Out of Africa

    View of flamingos and zebras was awesome :) Our driver was also super cool and knowledgeable. The cool this was that we also saw an island where Out of Africa was recorded and our tutor showed us how eagle is hunting :)

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a beautiful review.While TripAdvisor website places stars next to our business Piotr p, you are our real star.Most people don't bother to leave reviews about positive experiences and this is what makes you the star.Its only when we receive such great positive feedback,then do we rest knowing our job was well done .Thank you for giving us this proverbial pat on the back,you just made our day! We will strive to deliver greater experiences consistently,please do come again with your friends,family and all loved ones for greater Safari experiences.

    Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $6 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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi?

    +

    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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi?

    +

    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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi 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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi?

    +

    Included: Pick up/Drop off/Boat ride/Transport/Bottled water. Not included: Lake Nakuru park fees/Lunch/Optional cresent safari walk/Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 593 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi 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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi?

    +

    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 Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi 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.

    What happens to Lake Nakuru National park & Lake Naivasha Day tour from Nairobi if the weather is bad?

    +
