Dependable, this my second time with company. Harrison - today’s driver - was fabulous. Patient and communicative and had a good sense for where we might find the sleeping lion. And we did!

Amazing day in Nairobi National Park
I chose this company based on its excellent TripAdvisor reviews, and I was not disappointed! Communication was prompt and professional from the beginning, and everything was perfectly organized. Our driver and guide, Kevin, was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable. He made every effort to show us as many animals as possible during the game drive, and thanks to him we had a fantastic experience at Nairobi National Park. After the safari, he patiently waited for us at the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and then took us to the Giraffe Centre, making the entire day smooth and enjoyable. What I appreciated most was how flexible and accommodating the company was. They tailored the day to exactly what we had requested, creating a truly personalized experience. Thank you, Kevin, and the entire team, for an unforgettable day in Nairobi. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Hello Catalina, Hope you are doing great, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful and detailed review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience with us at Nairobi National Park and beyond. It means a lot to know that our communication, organization, and flexibility met your expectations. Kevin will be especially happy to hear your kind words about his professionalism, friendliness, and dedication to making your safari memorable. We are proud to have him as part of our team. Creating personalized experiences for our guests is at the heart of what we do, and we are thrilled that you enjoyed every part of your day, from the game drive to the visits to the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre.

It was our absolute pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in Kenya. Warm regards, African Beast Team.

A Great Introduction to Africa
What a fabulous day! Our driver, Kevin, picked us up at our hotel promptly at the scheduled time. He had water for us, navigated the morning rush hour traffic to get us to the park safely, and then spent 3 hours driving us through the park and spotting soooo many animals for us. We saw zebras, giraffes, gazelles, impalas, hippopotamuses, rhinoceroses, jackals, ostriches, monkeys, crocodiles, and the ever-elusive lion. Next we went to the elephant orphanage where we got to see the staff bottle-feed the elephants. At the giraffe center we received a small bowl of giraffe food pellets. The giraffes were lined up waiting for us! What an experience. Booking the tour was easy. Communication with Shadrack at African Beast Tours was very responsive and helpful. Kevin was so very knowledgeable about everything!
Response from the operator: Hello Linn, Hope you are doing well Thank you very much for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you had such a fabulous day and that Kevin helped make your experience so memorable. It is great to know that you enjoyed seeing so many animals in the park, as well as visiting the elephant orphanage and giraffe center. We also appreciate your kind words about the booking process and communication with our team. Thank you for choosing African Beast Tours, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in Kenya. Best regards Daisy

Nairobi Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Nairobi Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group cost?
+
Prices start at $33 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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group 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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 27 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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group?
+
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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group 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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group?
+
Around 9 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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group 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 Park and Optional Baby Elephant Jeep Group?
+
Included: Hotel/Residence Pick Up and Drop Off; Capable 4x4 safari landcruiser with pop up roof and huge windows(not minivan)for optimal o; and Driver/Guide. Not included: Tips and Gratitues (optional); and Nairobi park fee entry(paid by card on government website). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
