Eh!!! Meh!…
Rude and extremely short pre Trip and during trip. Didn’t even bother to formal introduction when we approached. I had to initiate formal greetings. Also, us when it was time to pay for entrance the driver stated “ Give Me $20 dollars “ . Through trip observations, we witnessed manners with this character seem to appear when interaction with persons of a lighter hue . For the amount of money this company charges $379. That fee DIES NIT include entry into Giraffe sanctuary nor Elephant Sanctuary. Next time I will uber to the Giraffe Sanctuary and Elephant sanctuary and save money $379 instead of enduring such rude introduction encounter with THIS company. Not worth it.
Response from the operator: Dear Tanya, We acknowledge your review. However we wish to first apologise that the driver did not greet you as you expected. Noting this we wish to state the following. Upon your last minute booking 6hours to start of tour we reached out to you, regarding what was expected of you as per the booking guidelines and as per tour inclusions and exclusions. This tour as is clearly spelled out on the exclusions ALL ENTRY FEES/ADMISSION FEES are NOT INCLUDED and you are requuierd and expected to pay for this. From the onset with a condescending attitude without regard to facts, you start telling us that this was included. We stood our ground and made it clear to you that exclusions are CLEARLY listed and therfore you will pay your entry fees as stated. As a RESPONSIBLE TRAVELLER one ought to take time and UNDERSTAND what they are signing up for before making any booking. Cost of tour well placed and furthermore you booked a JEEP/LANDCRUISER PRIVATE option which meets the subsequent charge. We have reported this review and hope the appropriate action will taken. WE gave you an incredible safari and you saw it all which you dont mention at all in your review as that is the EXPERIENCE!! Further, its WRONG and UTTERLY wrong to talk of Uber yet you made a last minute booking and had that option of an Uber. Travellers be advised an Uber CANNOT handle park terrain neither do they understand nor are trained on animal behavior. This is TOTALLY MISLEADING AND MALICIOUS. Wish you well.

I couldn’t recommend this tour more highly. If you’re visiting Nairobi, don’t miss it!
Our safari in Nairobi National Park was absolutely incredible! It exceeded all our expectations. We saw an amazing variety of animals, probably even more than appear in The Lion King! There was always something happening, so every minute was exciting. Kelvin is an outstanding guide. He is incredibly helpful, shares fascinating information throughout the tour, knows exactly where it’s worth stopping, and even takes beautiful photos for you. On top of that, he is such a warm, kind, and genuinely positive person, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Amazing tour guide Kelvin
Found Rustic tours via a recommendation on Facebook as I needed a Nairobi layover tour guide. Contacted Kelvin and we agreed quickly on what to do and see. He picked us up on airport in the morning in his crazy safari car and we saw downtown, giraffes and we did the Nairobi safari. Got to day that I laughed a lot with Kelvin as he is a great person! He did everything he could so we could see as much as possible in our short time window. See you again my friend!

Nairobi National Park Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How does Nairobi National Park Tour compare to similar tours in Nairobi?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 69. At $43 it costs less than the typical similar option ($58), so it is strong value. Best for families and anyone who wants flexible plans.
Who is Nairobi National Park Tour best for?
+
It suits families and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Nairobi National Park Tour good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $43, below the $58 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi National Park Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 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 Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 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 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 Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Nairobi National Park Tour?
+
Around 3 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 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 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep. 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 Tour?

Not included: ENTRY/ADMISSION FEE NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK; and Tips and Gratuity. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
