    Great Day in Nairobi

    Our guide Wellington picked us up at our hotel exactly at the appointed time. He explained the itinerary for our day, and provided us with information regarding Kenya and Nairobi while we were en route to each venue. The events exceeded our expectations, especially the Bomas dance troupe. Wellington provided us with ample opportunities to select the type of cuisine we wished to eat at lunch, take photos, and he provided us with bottled water. Overall we had a fantastic experience, and Wellington played an important factor in this.

    Great variety of places to visit but disappointing end

    Was looking forward to visiting these places but unfortunately it was a little disorganised. My driver showed up 40mins early so I missed breakfast but then was taken to a roadside coffee stand and told I had to wait for others who were visiting National Park. I ended up waiting for an hour then after picked them came back to coffee stand to wait more until nearly 11am when we left to visit the Baby elephant orphanage and arrived halfway through the demonstration and left after half an hour. From there it was on to the giraffe sanctuary which was fantastic to feed these gentle giants. After dropping off some of our group we headed to the Bomas and a lively and colourful show of different dances and displays. Lastly I went to Carnivore for a dinner experience which I was told was part of the more expensive package but at the end I had to pay again for the dinner and when I disputed this the tour office man yelled at me that I hadn’t paid and that wasn’t what I booked. So definitely confirm with booking that it is included or you will experience the same problem I did

    Response from the operator: Hello runawaydays, Thank you for taking your time leaving this review on Gracepatt Page. All our trips start with Giraffe center, then Elephant, then Kazuri Beads, then Lunch, after lunch enter Bomas of Kenya and then crown your day with Carnivore Dinner. We normally provide our driver guides with The Service Voucher for Dinner at Carnivore Restaurant and by the time they arrive Carnivore they find their Table Reserved. We have a similar Trips on TripAdvisor and may be you tagged Gracepatt by mistake. Kindly please send us your booking reference number and the name or your driver or you attach your booking voucher here because we don't operate this way. Looking forward to hearing from you

    One day in Nairobi

    My husband and I only had one day to spend in Nairobi. This was a wonderful way to fit multiple sites into our visit. The pace of the day was not rushed and was not too slow either. Patrick was an excellent driver/guide. He was quite personable but not overbearing. He made sure we were at the fence at the elephant orphanage which is the best place for viewing the baby elephants. Eat a light lunch because Carnivore is serving up a lot of food!!! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to fit in a lot of fun and site seeing all into one day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much destined4gtg for your exquisite review of your adventure with us. We are more than humbled that both of you had wonderful day out,with multiple sites and a lot of fun with our driver guide Patrick. We look forward to offering you another trip in future. Blessings

    Excellent All-day Tour of Nairobi

    This tour was a great glimpse into Nairobi culture. I enjoyed feeding the giraffes, watching others feed the elephants, and the dancing performances. I also liked visiting the bead-making facility, as well as the Lovebirds Community Gift Shop, where I bought masks. The dinner was great - I had never had rabbit before. Our guide, Steven, made the day memorable. He ensured that we experienced prime viewing at the elephant feeding and dance performance. I'm glad that we booked this tour - it was my best day in Kenya.

    Response from the operator: Thank you yobei for choosing us among many and taking your time writing awesome review. We are happy you had a memorable experience with our driver guide Steven. We look forward to meeting and serving you again in then near future.

    Nairobi National park ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Nairobi National park ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show cost?

    +

    Prices start at $345 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 ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 4 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 ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show?

    +

    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 ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Nairobi National park ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show?

    +

    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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Nairobi National park ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show 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 ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show?

    +

    Included: Giraffe Center Entrance fees; Nairobi National park Entrance fee; and Bomas Cultural Dance Entrance fee. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Nairobi National park ,Giraffe Center & Bomas Cultural Dance Show include hotel pickup?

    +

    +
