Great guided safari adventure John is a very experienced guide that got us front row seats to see two lions up close. Also saw rhinos, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras and many beautiful birds as well. Very professional service and friendly. The private tour was definitely worth the small extra price. Since there were only two of us we were able to go on a short walking tour with an armed park ranger to see a hippo, giraffes, and the river up close out of the safari vehicle.

Once in a lifetime This was a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide, John, was prompt with picking us up at our hotel, a safe driver and a wonderful tour guide around the Nairobi National Park. We saw so many animals up close and had plenty of time to take pictures and soak up the surroundings. I highly recommend if you are in the area.

Amazing Experience Driver and Guide Just finished a 3 day safari with John and he was the best driver ever From start to finish he could not have done anymore for us During the game drive we didn’t see many giraffes and they are my favourite at the end of the game drive he refused to go to the hotel without showing me more giraffes and he found so many even at roadsideThe next day on our return to Nairobi he even took us to the Giraffe center where I was able to feed them Thank you so much John ❤️

Spectacular!!! We went on the 1/2 day sunrise tour with the best guide in the whole park John! 😊He was so incredibly knowledgeable and was very patient with all our 100 questions! We were so very lucky to have seen some of the animals that not everyone gets to see, and John made sure of that! He was always on a mission to find the best animals for us! Even the lions 🦁! Thank you so much John! 😊
