I did this trip solo with Faith and had a great day. Faith was very relaxed and allowed for the day to flow without any rushing, getting me to each activity with good time while calmly navigating the chaotic Nairobi traffic! Faith was extremely knowledgeable about Kenya and the animals and was patient with my endless questions! I learnt so much about Kenyan culture during my day all while having friendly conversations about life in general. Faith was even able to teach me some Swahili during our day together. Overall I had a fantastic day and could not recommended this trip and Faith enough! Thanks for a great day! Asante sana 🙏🏾

The Nairobi wildlife tour exceeded expectations. The driver was friendly and informative throughout. The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust showcased heartwarming stories of orphaned elephants and their rehabilitation journey. At the Giraffe Centre, we had an up-close encounter with these elegant creatures and learned about their conservation. Both experiences were truly amazing, leaving us with a profound appreciation for wildlife preservation in Nairobi. Highly recommended for an unforgettable day of wildlife encounters and conservation insights.
