    Top notch safari guide!

    Did a day trip to Nairobi National Park and Sheldrick. Ben is a terrific guide, professional and very knowledgeable about wildlife. His vehicle was top quality, well maintained and comfortable. We definitely plan to work with him again!

    Great company to tour with

    Our group of 7 took a day trip with Ben to Nairobi National Park. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Excellent communication as we were making plans, flexible with our schedule (we added in a lunch outing) and a great price. Ben was so knowledgeable of the animals. I highly recommend this company if you want personalized service versus a standard package trip.

    Magic in the Massai Mara

    Cannot recommend Ben and the team from Game Africa safari's & treks highly enough. We had a once in a lifetime experience on the Massai Mara. Our package was truly all inclusive and our guide was beyond knowledgeable. Exceeded all expectations. Some of our experiences included a very close encounter with a leopard, hot air ballooning and witnessing river crossings. The team also truly embodied a conservation approach to the animals,the environment and the Massai people. A huge thanks to Ben for going above and beyond in all aspects our trip

    Masi Mara Trip - Most Excellent

    Ben arrived in a timely fashion to pick up our family, and from there it was an enjoyable, safe and pleasurable trip throughout. Ben's knowledge of his subject, willingness to go the extra mile and his sense of humor was most appreciated. We felt safe and well looked after through the whole trip.Without a doubt this was our most pleasant experience since arriving in Kenya and we will most be definitely be booking with this company on our next trip. Thank you Ben for a great experience.

    Safari at the Mara

    Ben was extremely professional and flexible from front door Nairobi pick up to drop off on our Mara Safari. He made us feel comfortable and was great with the kids right from the start. On the game drive he was knowledgeable and provided us with amazing animal sightings of lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants and more. He was able to accommodate the needs of a group with small children, teens and adults. Everyone had an amazing time and we were able to come and go out on safari from the resort as we pleased. Thank you for an incredible time our family will never forget!

    Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How does Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing compare to similar tours in Nairobi?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 66. At $1,735 it sits above the typical similar option ($58), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 72-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $1,735, above the $58 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.

    How much does Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,735 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 Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing?

    +

    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 Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing?

    +

    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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wildlife safaris and mountain climbing 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.
