Made it a trip to remember!
Samton (Sam) put together our Nairobi and Safari trip, and he was our guide while in Nairobi. He is phenomenal. He was very responsive leading up to the trip, during the trip, and even after we made it back stateside. While I am certain he had other clients, I felt like we were the only ones. He took care of EVERYTHING, and he made sure we felt comfortable, well taken care of, and pleased with each experience. I paid one fee and all my transportation, accommodations, in-Africa flights, and excursions (including the safari) were taken care of. Driving in Nairobi is quite the (often scary) experience, and I'm so grateful Sam was the one to transport us almost everywhere because I trusted him from the moment we first messaged. Also, we are outside/adventure travelers who also enjoy cultural experiences. We enjoy nice accommodations, but don't need them to be five star. If you want a different focus or level of stay, just tell him. He will build whatever kind of trip you want!

AMAZING
I have traveled the world and have had many tour providers, this was by far the best experience I've ever had! From the moment I reached out to book until I was dropped off at the airport, the experience was seamless and stress free. I missed my flight and Sam was flexible, giving me peace of mind. We did a safari in Nairobi, and the Masai Mara. There was glamping, the equator, Masai village, downtown Nairobi and a few unplanned stops. Sam and our driver James were knowledgeable and friendly the entire trip. Initially I thought I hired a tour provider, but I quickly realized I gained life long friends! I would highly recommend Samton Safaris to anyone! I'm looking forward to going back to see more of Kenya as well as seeing my new friends while having a cup of coffee! Thank you so much Sam & James!
Response from the operator: It’s really an honor that we did have you here and you enjoyed your trip with us, it’s our pleasure to have created those sweet moments. You’re much welcome and visit again.

Memories for a lifetime
My friend and I had a BLAST with Sam and our main driver, James! We were with Sam for the better part of a week and once we all got to know each other (around day 3), we became fast friends! What a genuine and great experience seeing both Nairobi and Maasai’s National Parks, the equator, glamping experiences and the culture of the locals. He was able to answer any questions my friend and I had, very knowledgeable, and kind. We can’t wait to see both Sam and James again!
Response from the operator: Am glad to have been part of this trip, what makes me more happy and proud is that you were indeed a great person and outgoing, we wish to see you back again.

Amazing safari experience
We had an amazing time with Sam. We did a 9 day/ 8 multi Park safari and loved every minute of it. Both Sam and Steven were professional and informative. I would absolutely recommend them for your safari.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review, we’re really glad you traveled with us and that you enjoyed your trip with us, looking forward to seeing you again.

Unforgettable 5-Day Safari with Samton Safaris!
Our 5-day safari with Samton Safaris was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and filled with adventure, fun, and professionalism. Sam, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure we experienced the very best of Kenya—from breathtaking game drives to immersive cultural experiences. His knowledge of the land, wildlife, and history gave us a true feel for what Kenya has to offer. Every detail was handled with care, and we always felt safe, informed, and excited for what was next. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, do not hesitate—Samton Safaris is the way to go!
Response from the operator: We can never say thank you enough to such kind words but we’re proud that you enjoyed your trip with us and went back home full of memories, thank you for booking with us and we are looking to see you again.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Nairobi National Park Shared Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi National Park Shared Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 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 Shared Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Shared Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 Shared 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 Shared Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi National Park Shared 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Nairobi National Park Shared 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.
