    1. Shoor Safaris Kenya

      Your English-speaking Driver-Guide will report to your hotel at 6.10 am if you choose the morning tour, or at 1.45 pm in case of the afternoon tour. You will then be driven to the Nairobi National Park in a Safari Tour Micro bus. This transfer could take anything from 20 minutes to 1 hour depending on how close your hotel is to the park and also on the traffic conditions at the time. Upon arrival at the park, your Driver-Guide will pay for an obtain your entry ticket after he will open the game viewing roof of the vehicle following which you will be driven into the park to start your Safari tour. Enjoy the scenic forest and savannah landscapes of the park as your Driver Guide searches for some of the animals in the park during the game drive. The game drive will be conducted by driving slowly around the park on its unpaved gravel roads and tracks. Once an animal of interest is spotted, the vehicle will stop briefly giving you enough time to see the wildlife or attraction. Your Driver-Guide will also give you information on the park and on it's animals during the drive. He will do so without using a public address system. The game viewing roof will give you an excellent vantage point to view the park and its wildlife. You may also sit on your seat during the drive and follow proceedings from superb visibility of the vehicle's large windows.  Upon conclusion of the tour, you will exit the park and be transferred back to your hotel or on wards to your preferred drop off location.

    Professional and compassionate

    We had booked this trip in June 2026 for months and very unfortunately had to cancel last minute due to family medical emergency. We are very grateful to Shoor for their understanding and help to minimize our deposit cost with our untimely cancellation. We appreciate their professionalism and communication during the entire process.

    A memorable experience

    Had an amazing experience with Shoor Travels, who organised our 3-day Masai Mara trip seamlessly. Everything from the Nairobi–Masai Mara round trip to accommodation, meals, and safari drives was perfectly handled. The accommodation was very comfortable, and our Masai guide was not only incredibly friendly but also a highly skilled driver, which made the safari even more enjoyable. Highly recommend them for a stress-free and memorable experience!

    An Excellent Adventure

    We spent over a week and a half with Shoor and their driver/guide, Peter. Our experience clearly exceeded our expectations. Shoor had made all our arrangements in advance, and the safari went like clockwork. Peter was truly the element that made the adventure a total success. He is knowledgeable about flora, fauna, the local economy, and anything else we could think to inquire about. We would use Shoor again in a heartbeat.

    Highly recommend!!!

    Our guide has a great knowledge and he tried to find as many game animals as possible. Also, we received excellent customer service from the Shoor Safari office - updating itinerary, lost&found etc.

    Good Choice for Hiring a Safari vehicle!

    Did a Nairobi National park tour with this company as well as hiring a safari minibus with them to use for a couple of days my wife and I had free in Nairobi recently. Use the vehicle to do a day trip to Lake Naivasha. Pretty good service from Shoor Safaris in Nairobi and the tour in the park was quite enjoyable.

    Nairobi National Park Safari Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Nairobi National Park Safari Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 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 Safari 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 Safari 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 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 Safari 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 Safari 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 Safari 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Nairobi National Park Safari 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.
