Thank you for memorable trip
Million thanks for all the arrangements. We were lucky to have sunny weather, without rain. Our Safaris driver/ guide Nathan was fabulous. He truly stood out as exceptional and an indispensable component in making our trip as memorable as it was, he was exceptional from start to finish. Nathan is extremely knowledgeable both about Kenyan animals and wildlife and about Kenya itself (history, politics, economy, culture, geography, and its tribes). He was able to answer all our (many) questions in great detail. He was always extremely professional (for example, he was always punctual, and he would clean / tidy up both the inside and outside of his jeep). Nathan went out of his way to make sure that our experience was the best that it could possibly be and that we saw as many animals as possible, and he succeeded. He could spot animals from a far distance away. We are grateful to have met him.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience! We are absolutely delighted to hear that the weather was on your side and that your safari was everything you hoped for. Nathan will be so touched by your heartfelt praise—he truly is a gem, and we are grateful that he made your Trip memorable. His professionalism and knowledge about Kenya : it's wildlife,politics, economy, geography, tribes and the rich culture made the Trip worthwhile. We are so happy that he went out of his way to give you the best experience and that he ensured you saw as many animals as he could spot. We welcome you back for another adventure with us in the future. Warm regards, Clara

George and Celestine were amazing drivers and very knowledgeable of the animals. The company was also flexible to make sure our needs are met (we wanted to start later because of our evening flight).

It's great to know that we could adjust your schedule for your evening flight. We hope to have the pleasure of serving you again in the future! Warm regards, Clara

Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Center Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Center Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $115 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 Day Tour 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 Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 National Park and Giraffe Center Day Tour?
+
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 Day Tour 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 Day Tour?
+
Around 2 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 Day Tour 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 Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Center Day Tour?
+
Included: entry tickets to the Nairobi National park and the girrafe center; Transport in a Customized Safari Van with a Pop up roof Top for easier game viewing; Professional guide; and Pickup and drop-off to your hotel or residency within Nairobi CBD. Not included: Pickup and drop off to the airport at 20 USD; DVD (available to purchase); Food and drinks; and Souvenirs (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Center Day Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 312 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 Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Center Day Tour offered in?
+

+
