Best day!!
Our guide was amazing. We had water, binoculars, and a blanket to ensure a comfortable experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask questions.

Excellent mini safari
Excellent game drive - we saw lions up close. Tom was very knowledgeable and did his best to show us all the animals - very close to rhinos, zebras, all the antelopes and giraffe

ナイロビナショナルパーク
空港に迎えに来て頂き、そのままサファリへ向かいました。ナイロビに到着する前は色々不安がありましたが、安心のできるドライバーさんでした。国立公園は思ったよりも広く、小さな川のようなものもあったので、普通のドライブとしても楽しめました。動物は、キリンやライオン、インパラ、サイなどを自然の状態でたくさん見ることが出来ました。さらに、朝陽がすごく大きく感動しました。 事前に空港に迎えに来てほしいことをメールしていたのですが、返信が早く信頼が出来ました。 このツアーに関わってくれた全ての人に感謝します。ありがとうございます。 Thank you for everything! I was really enjoyed. I hope see you guys again.
Response from the operator: Jambo Tomomi, Thank you for sharing your travel experience while in Nairobi. We had great pleasure showing your around the Nairobi national park and sharing our safari experience with you. We would like to wish you safe travels and look forward to hosting you in Kenya or Tanzania soon again. Asante Sana, Features Africa Journeys Team

They made our trip hassle free
This review has been long pending. Wanted to convey a big thank you to Karanja and team for making our trip a complete success. Visited with family to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with Features Africa. Booking. Found their contact through Safaribookings.com. Karanja sent me a quote and was extremely patient to answer all my questions. Karanja tailor made the trip with all my requirements on the lodges and came up with the best quote. Karanja was on watsapp throughout to answer any further questions I have. The trip. Gerald was our guide. We were pic ked up at the designated time in a 4 by 4 vehicle. The vehicle was comfortable and well maintained. Features Africa team paid attention to minute details like stocking adequate water bottles and snacks in the vehicle. They said we want you to have a 'worry free safari', truly they meant it. Gerald is calm and always have a smile in his face. He has sharp eyes and spots animals like a wonder. He made sure we see all the actions. Also we were lucky to see and experience the mara river crossing, again a lot of credit goes to Gerald as he took us to the spot at the right moment and parked the vehicle in a brilliant spot. We also extended our trip with them with Kenya city tour and Nairobi national park safari. Karanja also offered us a drop to the airport at no additional cost. Our flight was at 5 AM and Gerald and Karanja came to pick us up in the middle of the night. Karanja came to meet us in person in the middle of the night as during the start of the trip he was out of town. Really appreciate the gesture. I have recommended Features Africa to all my friends who may be visiting Kenya in near future and I am also looking forward to our next trip with Features Africa.
Response from the operator: Jambo Anindya, Thank you for your excellent review! We strive to create unique travel experiences based our client's individual preferences, desires, and budget, and happy to hear we exceeded your expectations. We hope to host you on another African Safari soon! Features Africa Journeys Team

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nairobi National Park Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi National Park Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $170 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 Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 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 Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi National Park Day Tour?
+
Around 4 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nairobi National Park 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 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. 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.
