3-day Masai Mara safari from Nairobi: Private 4x4 with guideA 3-day Masai Mara safari from Nairobi combines private 4x4 transport, an English-speaking driver-guide, all meals and lodging in a choice of economy, comfort or luxury camps. You depart Nairobi by 7:30 a.m., spend two full days on game drives across the reserve's golden grasslands and acacia plains, and return to the city on the third afternoon. Park entry, accommodation and meals are all included; the guide can speak Spanish, French or German if you request it before booking.Is it for me?The early starts — before dawn on days two and three — are what put you in the park when predators hunt and herds move; if you're not a morning person, a later-departing tour may suit you better. The 5-hour drives to and from Nairobi on days one and three are long but unbroken, so the full safari fits inside three calendar days without rushing the game drives themselves.
Lamu Old Town: Walking Tour, Swahili Culture & Artisan ShopsYou’ll follow winding coral streets with a local guide through Lamu Old Town, pausing at artisan shops and centuries-old landmarks like Lamu Fort and Museum. Expect friendly faces at every turn—maybe even sample fresh coconut bread by the seafront—and leave with more stories than you arrived with.
Masai Mara: 3-Day Safari by 4WD Landcruiser & Game DrivesYou’ll cross open savannahs in a private 4WD Landcruiser on this three-day Masai Mara safari from Nairobi. Expect close-up wildlife moments on daily game drives, riverside picnic lunches under acacia trees, nights in simple tented camps with private bathrooms, plus optional visits to Maasai villages if you’re curious about local life. It’s more than photos—you’ll feel it in your bones.
Nairobi: Wildlife Safari, Safari Walk & Animal OrphanageYou’ll feel the wild side of Nairobi as you spot lions and giraffes against the city skyline, walk above tall grass on the safari boardwalk, and meet rescued animals up close at the orphanage. With private transport and a local guide who knows every shortcut (and animal nickname), this day trip leaves you thinking about those quiet moments long after you’re back in town.
Nairobi: Giraffe Centre, Elephant Orphanage & Park Day TripYou’ll spot lions and rhinos right outside Nairobi on this day trip, watch rescued baby elephants guzzle their milk at feeding time, and feed endangered Rothschild giraffes by hand at the Giraffe Centre. With private pickup and a local guide handling all logistics, you can just soak up those small moments—the laughter, muddy shoes, or quiet sunrise over the savannah.
Nairobi: Private Safari & Giraffe Centre Day Trip PickupYou’ll feel Nairobi shift from city to wild as you spot lions and rhinos on a private safari drive, then feed endangered giraffes at the Giraffe Centre—all with hotel pickup included. Expect real moments: laughter with your guide, dusty tracks under open sky, and animal encounters you can’t quite explain later.
Amboseli: 2-Day Safari by 4x4 Jeep with Kilimanjaro ViewsYou’ll ride in a real 4x4 jeep from Nairobi to Amboseli, watch elephants roam beneath Mount Kilimanjaro at sunset, spend the night in a permanent lodge or camp (no pitching tents!), then wake early for another game drive before heading home. Expect Maasai encounters, local food, and those wide African skies you’ve always imagined.
Nairobi Kibera: Private Walking Tour & Local School VisitYou’ll walk through Kibera with a local guide, meet families in their homes, see how recycled bones become jewelry, visit a school full of laughter and song, and maybe even join a dance or football game. It’s not about poverty—it’s about resilience and pride. This day will probably stay with you long after you leave Nairobi.
Masai Mara, Nakuru & Naivasha: 4-Day Safari with Game DrivesYou’ll wake up to birdsong in Masai Mara, spot rhinos by Lake Nakuru’s shimmering waters, cruise past hippos on Lake Naivasha and walk among giraffes on Crescent Island. With a local guide handling every detail—including pickup and meals—you’ll feel both cared for and free to soak up every wild moment.

Nairobi walking tour: Maasai Market, Jamia Mosque, city historyA 2.5-hour walking tour of Nairobi starting from hotel pickup, moving through the Maasai Market, Jamia Mosque and Independence Park while meeting local artisans and learning the city's history from the Mau Mau independence struggle onward. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese or French, and children from age 5 are welcome; a coffee break at the market is built into the route.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're arriving without a car or staying outside the city center — hotel pickup means you don't arrange transport to the start, and the 2.5 hours fit into a free afternoon or morning without dominating your day.
Nairobi National Park & Giraffe Centre Safari with Maasai MarketYou spend a morning on a game drive through Nairobi National Park watching lions, rhinos, and zebras against the city skyline; move to the Giraffe Centre to hand-feed endangered Rothschild giraffes and learn about conservation; then finish at the Maasai Market where you see traditional beadwork and pottery made by local artisans. A professional guide drives a pop-up safari vehicle, and the whole experience fits into a few hours without the long travel time.Is it for me?Book this if you're short on time but want a real safari experience — the 15-minute distance from the city means you see the Big 4 and endangered giraffes in a few hours instead of spending a full day traveling to and from a distant reserve.
Nairobi City Walk Tour with Pickup: Markets, Mosques & ParksA guided walking tour of Nairobi's city center with a local guide, covering landmarks from the Jamia Mosque to Uhuru Park, the Maasai Market and colonial-era buildings. Hotel pickup is included, and guides speak English, Spanish or French. The tour moves at a relaxed pace through a city that blends nature reserves, cultural heritage and modern architecture.Is it for me?Choose this if you want a local guide to lead you through Nairobi's neighborhoods at a group pace, rather than exploring independently or hiring private transport.
Nairobi City Tour: Walking Guide to Historic LandmarksA guided walking tour of Nairobi's central business district with a professional guide fluent in English or Spanish, covering historical landmarks including the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Jamia Mosque, Maasai Market and August 7th Memorial Park. The guide leads you through the safest streets, shares the city's colonial and modern history, and arranges time to interact with locals and see how they live. Tours run between one and three hours depending on your pace and interests.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to understand Nairobi's layout and history on foot with someone who knows which streets are safe and where locals actually spend their time—the guide's knowledge of the city's past and present is what makes the walk meaningful instead of just a route through the CBD.
Kibera market tour Nairobi: Walk with local guidesYou walk through Kibera's neighborhoods with a local guide who lives or grew up there, seeing schools, clinics, and housing projects while learning how the informal settlement economy actually works. Then you move to Maasai Market to browse crafts and textiles with someone who knows the vendors. The whole two hours is led by youth guides employed by DALA, and you pay after the tour ends, not before.Is it for me?Book this if you want to understand how Kibera actually works rather than observe it from a distance, and if supporting local youth employment in Nairobi matters to you—the guides are hired directly from the community, and the pay-as-you-go model means your money reaches them without intermediaries.

Nairobi Airport Transfer: Private Sedan & Van PickupYou get picked up at arrivals with your name on a sign or checked in at a conference desk, then driven directly to your Nairobi hotel in a private vehicle sized for your group. The driver handles the route and timing; you just sit back. Ideal if you're landing with luggage, traveling with others, or want to avoid the taxi negotiation entirely. Book with your flight details so the supplier can time the pickup and departure collection correctly.Is it for me?Book this if you're landing with luggage, traveling with a group, or simply want to skip the taxi queue and arrive at your hotel on a fixed schedule — the early departure time for flights is what keeps you from missing your connection in Nairobi traffic.
