Tour was overpriced for...
Tour was overpriced for what you get. Could have easily taken a nice uber to the center and paid my own ticket which would have been a quarter of the price. Sam the guide was nice but his car was not. Also was not offered bottled water.
Response from the operator: Thank you for letting us know. if you compare the price with Uber to and from, you will get to see we are cheaper. the price included your entrance fee and guide as well as your safety under our guide. The car always has water for customers which is served under customers request. we appologise if our guide dint serve you with a bottle of water

A day at Giraffe center
My driver Sam was right on time, picked me up from my hotel, and went to the Giraffe Center. I was super excited to see the giraffes. Sam was very knowledgeable and excellent. He explained everything about the giraffes and it was superb. i highly recommend sam as a guide, you won't get bored.

Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center. cost?
+
Prices start at $40 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 Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center. take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center.?
+
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 Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center.?
+
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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nairobi: Giraffe Center & Bomas of Kenya cultural center. 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.
