Missed experience
***Do not Book***I could never complete the experience because the operator is unreachable and no one has heard of the experience at the hotel. The company can’t get in contact with the operator and his phone number is disconnected. **** Do not Book***
Response from the operator: Dear Carl, apologies for the bad experience. We have been having challenges gaining control of our booking account after it was hacked. Hence the reason we could not confirm your tour. We are willing to give you or your friend a complimentary ticket to make us for this bad experience. Once you or a friend is ready, drop us an email on sportstours.ke@gmail.com to arrange for the tour. Apologies once again.

Abandoned at pickup site
I had a confirmed trip scheduled. I messaged to ask if a driver can come to our place. No one communicated so we went to the Serena Hotel as they have written. We waited in the lobby but no one called, no one messaged and no one showed up. I called the Contact number twice to find out what was going on but nobody answered. Very disappointed. And wasted 2 Uber fares going to the other hotel and then back. At least the Serena staff was nice to us.
Response from the operator: We apologize for this. We have been having a technical issue accessing our booking page due to internal issues. We are ready to give you a complimentary to you or a friend. Kindly email us on sportstours.ke@gmail.com to make for this. It is not within our nature to disappoint our clients, and we are truly sorry for it.

Running in Nairobi! Feet are definitely the best way to travel
Davis is a brilliant local guide, full of in-depth knowledge about Kenyan running history, and willing to share it all. He is also an incredible runner himself, and kindly gave me a few tips to try to up my pace. For anyone wanting to fill their lungs, shake out their legs, and laugh their way around parts of Nairobi, this is the adventure for you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the review. I appreciate the kind words.

Fantastic Run and Experience
Being my first time in Nairobi, I didn't know what to expect but as I was keen to discover a new place decided to take the leap and book... It has been a great experience and you basically can't find a better "guide" who know the trails.... Davis is a great friendly guy who is an avid runner himself having participating in many marathons throughout the world. I was picked up at my hotel by Davis and then after 15 mins reached Karuna Forest. Trails are clearly marked and it is a busy area. After our 10km run, Davis dropped me back at the hotel. I highly recommend this and Davis is a top bloke!

Why this scores 48
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How does Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya compare to similar tours in Nairobi?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 48. At $41 it costs less than the typical similar option ($58), so it is strong value. Best for travelers short on time and anyone who wants flexible plans.
Who is Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya best for?
+
It suits travelers short on time and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 1.5-hour length, minimum age of 5 and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya good value?
+
Yes. It starts at $41, below the $58 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.
How much does Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya cost?
+
Prices start at $41 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 Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 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 Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya?
+
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 Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya 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 1.5-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya?
+
Around 1 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Trail Running in Nairobi, Kenya 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.
