Great tours!
We did 2 tours with Perfect Safaris! First one was with Black Santa and he took us to the Giraffe Center, Shedrick Elephant Sanctuary, Kobe Beads, lunch at Carnivore and then Karen Blixen. He did an excellent job getting us the best viewing areas and experiences. It was great! Our second tour was with Ronald. He promptly picked us up at the airport and took us on a safari through Nairobi National Park. It was awesome!
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your review. It seems like you had a wonderful safari experience with our guide Black Santa and Ronald thus making the sightings memorable. Kind regards Susan Kind regards Susan

Lions upon lions at Nairobi National Park!!!
At Nairobi National Park we saw such a diverse amount of wildlife. But the best was how many lions we saw. We saw 4 lions feasting on a kill. Then a lion sauntered through the people in vehicles and soon after another calm lion just sitting among us!!!! Wow! Guide was so kind and a great planner to make the most of the tour!
Response from the operator: Hello Janelle, Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you had a memorable safari at Nairobi National Park and enjoyed the diverse wildlife sightings, especially the incredible lion encounters. We're glad our guide could enhance your experience with kindness and excellent planning. We hope to welcome you back for more amazing adventures in the future. Regards Sylvia

Nairobi national park and Giraffe center: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi national park and Giraffe center cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 national park and Giraffe center 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 Nairobi national park and Giraffe center worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 173 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Nairobi national park and Giraffe 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 national park and Giraffe center 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 Nairobi national park and Giraffe center?
+
Around 61 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 Nairobi national park and Giraffe 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.
