Reviews for Nairobi Tours
E
The safari was beyond incredible! Our tent was comfortable, and the campsites were well-maintained. The guide was top-notch—so knowledgeable and attentive. The long drives, while part of the experience, did get a bit tiresome, and it would have been nice to have a break midway through. However, the Maasai Mara was breathtaking, and the wildlife sightings made the long days worth it.

East Africa Safari: Two Countries, One Epic Trip!
Crossed Kenya and Tanzania off my bucket list in 11 days—unreal! Maasai Mara’s wildebeest migration was mind-blowing, and Serengeti sunsets over the plains? Chef’s kiss. Loved the mix of luxury lodges and tented camps—woke up to giraffes outside my tent! Guides knew all the best wildlife spots. 10/10!

FAQs about Nairobi Tours
What is the best area to stay in Nairobi for first-time visitors?
For first-time visitors, Westlands and Kilimani are ideal due to their safety, proximity to attractions, and range of hotels and restaurants. These neighborhoods offer easy access to the Nairobi National Museum, Uhuru Park, and major business districts. Airbnb and hotel options here cater to various budgets, and ride-hailing apps operate reliably. Avoid informal settlements and exercise caution in the Central Business District after dark.
How many days is enough in Nairobi?
For most travelers, 2 to 3 days is the ideal amount of time to spend in Nairobi. Nairobi is unique because it is the only capital city in the world with a safari park within its borders. Two days allow you to see the famous wildlife sanctuaries and cultural sites without rushing, while a third day opens up opportunities for incredible day trips to the Great Rift Valley.
Is the Nairobi Safari Walk worth visiting with children?
Yes, the Nairobi Safari Walk in Lang’ata is family-friendly and ideal for children. This elevated boardwalk offers close views of native species like giraffes, hyenas, and monkeys in natural enclosures. Located within the Nairobi National Park, it combines education and conservation. Open daily from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Entry is KES 1,400 for adults, KES 800 for children. Allow 1.5–2 hours for the visit.
What’s the rainy season in Nairobi and how does it affect travel plans?
Nairobi has two rainy seasons - the long rains from March to May and short rains in November. April is typically the wettest month. Expect afternoon downpours, road delays, and occasional flight disruptions. Carry waterproof gear and plan indoor activities (e.g., museums, cafes) for rainy days. The city remains accessible year-round, but outdoor safaris are best scheduled in dry months (June–October, January–February).
