Very good experience
The treatment from the begining was very profesional and friendly. Geophrey was always there to solve any doubts very quickly. The day of the Safari Paul was with us.

Grateful for an amazing experience!
I can’t say enough good things about Kichaka tours. My college-age daughter and friends were traveling to Zanzibar and due to multiple airplane cancellations they ended up having a very long layover in Nairobi. We reached out to Kichaka tours to arrange a day safari for their unexpected layover and Geophrey was amazing with helping us set this up last minute. He was patient as we figured out last minute travel times. And when their flight was canceled AGAIN at the last minute he worked with us to pick the group up from a different location. And even better- he text us (the parents) to let us know that our kids had been picked up and were safe and sound. The safari itself was amazing! My daughter described the driver/guide as “the nicest person” she met on her entire trip. He was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and flexible. It was short and sweet but the group was able to see an incredible abundance of animals. And the dinner at the end was a really fun experience! The icing on the cake is that all of this planning and flexibility was incredibly affordable. We were quoted a very reasonable price- we have been on many safaris and this was by far the most affordable without compromising the quality of the experience. I highly recommend Kichaka tours. The whole experience was safe, fun, and affordable. And the staff made sure that even though we (the parents) weren’t there, that our 19 year olds were well taken care of care of and had an amazing experience. We hope to have the opportunity to use Kichaka tours in the future for a longer stay.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredibly detailed and wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your daughter and her friends had such an amazing time on the safari adventure. It brings us immense joy to know that they enjoyed every moment of exploring and witnessing the breathtaking wildlife. We also extend our heartfelt gratitude for specifically mentioning Geophrey, who meticulously organized the safari, as well as Paul, our delightful driver-guide. They both take great pride in their work and are overjoyed to hear your kind words about their efforts! Your feedback not only brightens their day but also inspires our entire team to continue providing unforgettable experiences. Wishing you all the best in your future adventures!

FANTASTIC half-day safari round Nairobi National Park with Kichaka Tours & Travel
I want to thank Kichaka Tours and Travel for their excellent quality of service all-round. I used them for a half-day safari drive to Nairobi National Park. Wilson replied very quickly to all my questions and was incredibly helpful and professional. He then put me in contact with Dennis, my safari driver/guide, so that we could confirm pick up in advance. I found this very reassuring especially as the pick-up was at 5.30am so I wanted to make sure it was reliable. Dennis confirmed with me in advance and even arrived early so that we got to Nairobi National Park in good time and were first in the queue before opening! This meant there were no delays getting into the park and I got to experience the full sunrise over the park - it was magical. Dennis was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. He went above and beyond to help me see as many animals as possible during the trip. I had the best morning and would definitely recommend him and the whole Kichaka Team!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience regarding your tour. We are thrilled to hear that it exceeded your expectations. Thank also you for taking the time to acknowledge Wilson and Dennis for their exceptional customer service. The whole team is grinning from ear to ear at your review. We’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. Looking forward to hosting you again. All the best.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park?
+
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 Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Mini Safari Tour in Nairobi National Park 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), 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, Private Tour in Kibera the Largest Slum. 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.
