6-day Kenya safari: Tsavo, Amboseli, Naivasha & Masai MaraA 6-day private Jeep safari through five Kenya national parks—Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Masai Mara—with a live guide, hotel pickup from Nairobi, and lodge accommodation included. You drive early mornings and late afternoons hunting wildlife, take a boat safari and walking tour at Lake Naivasha, cycle through Hell's Gate, and spend a full day in Masai Mara. The itinerary chains the parks so you move through different terrain and animal concentrations without building the route yourself.Is it for me?Book this if your group stays together in one vehicle for all six days—your private Jeep and guide adapt to your pace across five parks, rather than coordinating separate transport and timing at each stop.
Nairobi: Safari Half-Day Tour with City Pickup & GuideYou’ll hear birdsong instead of city horns as you spot lions, giraffes, rhinos, and buffaloes just outside Nairobi on this half-day safari. With hotel pickup included and a local guide pointing out wildlife (plus binoculars for those hidden moments), you’ll get surprisingly close to nature without leaving town behind.
Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari: 4-Day Jeep Tour with PickupYou’ll cross wild savannahs on daily game drives in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, spot lions and rhinos up close with your guide’s sharp eyes, see flamingos turn the lake pink at dawn, and share stories around camp after dusty days. This tour includes pickup in Nairobi and full-board stays—just bring your sense of wonder.
Day safari tour Maasai Mara from Nairobi: Game drive in a 4x4This full-day safari tour from Nairobi covers Maasai Mara National Park in a single day, with early morning pickup, transport through the Great Rift Valley, and a game drive in a private 4x4 with a local guide. Park entry fees are optional and vary by season (USD 100 per person January to June, USD 200 per person July to December); meals and drinks are at your own expense, and a visit to a Maasai village can be added at checkout.Is it for me?Book this if you're flying in for one day: the early departure from Nairobi and private 4x4 mean you reach the western escarpment's concentrated wildlife and return the same day, rather than splitting across two.
Nairobi: Giraffe Centre Day Tour & Kobe Beads Factory VisitYou’ll stand eye-to-eye with Rothschild’s giraffes at Nairobi’s Giraffe Centre (yes, you can feed them), hear stories from your local guide, and watch bead makers shape clay at Kobe Beads Factory. With hotel pickup included and plenty of time for questions or photos, expect small surprises—and maybe a gentle nudge from a giraffe—that stick with you long after.
Snorkeling at Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park from Diani BeachA full-day snorkeling tour from Diani Beach to Kisite Mpunguti Marine Park, where you board a traditional dhow or motorboat at Shimoni Jetty, spend the morning in the water among dolphins and coral, then move to Wasini Island for seafood lunch and a village walk before exploring the Shimoni Slave Caves. Hotel pickup, snorkeling gear, professional marine guides, and park entry are included; the day runs nine hours.Is it for me?The nine-hour commitment means you leave early and return mid-afternoon, which works if your day is free but rules out a morning activity elsewhere or a late departure. The tour is led by a professional guide in English, French, German or Polish, so language is not a barrier; book your preferred language at checkout.
Half-Day Scenic Bike Tour Mombasa: Four Routes, Off-RoadA half-day mountain-bike tour in Mombasa where you ride unpaved roads through traditional African villages, palm and mango forests, and along the Mombasa North Coast and Mtwapa Creek. You choose from four routes ranging from 24 to 40 km, each with a different difficulty level and scenery—from leisurely coastal rides to steep single-trail climbs. Mountain bikes with front shocks, helmets, gloves, water and snacks are included; guides speak English and German.Is it for me?Pick Along the Coast or Three Coastal Areas for rolling terrain on unpaved roads, or The Bike Adventure if you want technical single-trail climbing—each keeps you off paved routes and close to villages and creek views.
Masai Mara: 3-Day Luxury Safari with Rift Valley DriveYou’ll roll out of Nairobi at sunrise for three days of real safari life: crossing barley fields into Maasai Mara, tracking wildlife with a local guide who actually knows every story behind those hills, eating around campfires and waking up to birdsong instead of alarms. Expect lion sightings, laughter on bumpy roads, and quiet moments that stick with you long after you’re home.
Nairobi Giraffe Centre & Elephant Orphanage Tour: Feed & MeetThis eight-hour tour in Nairobi takes you to the Giraffe Centre to feed Rothschild giraffes with special pellets and learn their distribution across Kenya, then to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to watch orphaned baby elephants receive their formula and hear each elephant's story. A professional guide, private transport with hotel pickup and drop-off, and entry to both sanctuaries are included; you can add Nairobi National Park to see rhino, buffalo, cheetah and lion against the city skyline. Conservation park fees are paid online before arrival.Is it for me?Choose the half-day option if you have a free afternoon and want to see the giraffes and elephants without committing a full day, or add Nairobi National Park if you want to see the Big Five and over 300 bird species in the same outing—the park sits just seven kilometers from the city, so both fit into a single morning or afternoon depending on which option you pick.
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.
Lake Nakuru day trip from Nairobi: Flamingos and rhinosA full-day tour from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru National Park in the Great Rift Valley, traveling by 4WD with a live English-speaking guide, lunch and hotel pickup included. The park's alkaline lake draws vast flocks of flamingos that often tint the shoreline pink, and you'll also see rhinos, giraffes, lions and leopards across the woodlands and lakeshore. The tour runs 7 to 8 hours and includes a stop at Baboon Cliff for panoramic views.Is it for me?Choose the private jeep if you want to move at your own pace and stop whenever wildlife appears; the shared group tour works better if you prefer a smaller cost and don't mind a fixed schedule with other travelers.
Masai Mara, Nakuru & Naivasha: 5-Day Small Group Safari TourYou’ll join fellow travelers for five days through Masai Mara’s wild plains, Lake Nakuru’s flamingo shores, and Naivasha’s peaceful waters—with real local guides sharing stories along every bumpy mile. Expect game drives for big cats, cycling at Hell’s Gate if you’re up for it, picnic lunches outdoors, and evenings swapping stories under African skies.
Nairobi National Park & Giraffe Center: Safari & Wildlife Half-DayYou get a morning safari through Nairobi National Park with chances to spot four of the Big Five against the city backdrop, then hand-feed giraffes at the Giraffe Centre and tour a working bead factory. Hotel pickup and drop-off, park entry, and water are included, so you show up and the rest is arranged.Is it for me?Pick this if you're in Nairobi for just a day or two and want to see real wildlife without spending a full day traveling—the park's location 7km from the city center is what makes a half-day safari possible, and the included stops at the Giraffe Centre and bead factory turn it into a fuller morning than a park-only drive.
Mt. Longonot hike from Nairobi: Crater rim and Rift Valley viewsThis private 9-hour hiking day trip from Nairobi takes you 45 miles into Mt. Longonot National Park on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, where you climb through gulleys to the crater rim, look into the crater below, and stop at a viewpoint overlooking the rift valley escarpment. A local English-speaking guide, hotel pickup and park entrance fees are included; the hike requires moderate physical fitness and takes 3–4 hours up and down.Is it for me?The 11-hour commitment means a full day away from Nairobi, so plan accordingly if you have other activities scheduled. The hike itself takes 3–4 hours with rest stops built in, leaving time for the drive, the crater exploration and the rift valley viewpoint without rushing any of it.
Fort Jesus & Old Town Mombasa: Walking tour with guideA walking tour of Mombasa's historic sites, starting at Fort Jesus (the Portuguese fortress from 1593, now a UNESCO World Heritage site) and moving through the Old Town's narrow streets to the Spice Market, the old port, and the four giant elephant tusks erected in 1952. A live guide in English or French leads the route over three to four hours, with tuk-tuk transport and guide fees included; Fort Jesus admission is an optional add-on at checkout.Is it for me?The three- to four-hour window leaves your afternoon free, which matters if you're between flights or have other plans in Mombasa. The tuk-tuk transport means the walking stays manageable even in the heat, and the guide handles the history so you're not reading plaques on your own.
Nairobi Airport Transfer: Private Pickup & Hotel Drop-offYou're picked up at arrivals by a named driver with your flight details already in his system. The transfer to your downtown Nairobi hotel is private, the price is fixed before you land, and the driver waits if your flight is late. Drop-off happens at your hotel, and 24-hour support is included if you need it.Is it for me?Book this if you land in Nairobi and want to reach your hotel without arranging transport, negotiating a fare, or waiting in a taxi queue—the fixed price and flight tracking are what remove that friction from your arrival.
Maasai Mara Safari: 2 Days from Nairobi with Game Drives & LodgeYou fly from Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve, do an afternoon game drive on day one, stay overnight at Jambo Mara lodge with dinner and breakfast included, then wake before dawn for an early morning drive on day two when wildlife is most active. A stop at the Maasai Market follows before your return drive to Nairobi in the afternoon. Transport, accommodation, and all meals are handled.Is it for me?A good fit if you have two to three days in Kenya and want to see Maasai Mara without arranging your own flights, lodge, or meals. The early morning drive is what makes the wildlife viewing most productive, so plan for an early wake-up on day two.
Lake Nakuru Day Trip from Nairobi: Flamingos & Game DriveYou're picked up from your Nairobi hotel at 6am and driven to Lake Nakuru National Park, stopping at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint on the way. You do a three-hour morning game drive, break for lunch, then a three-hour afternoon drive to spot flamingos, rhinos, buffalo and other wildlife. After the park closes, you head to Lake Naivasha for a one-hour boat ride to see hippos and birds from the water. You're back in Nairobi by 6pm, dropped at your hotel with water and a full day behind you.Is it for me?This works well if you want to see Lake Nakuru's flamingos and wildlife without arranging transport, park entry or timing yourself — the private guide and fixed schedule handle all three, and the early start is what gets you into the park when the animals are most active.
Mombasa Airport to Diani Beach: Private Taxi TransferYou book a private transfer before arrival, choose your Diani pickup location, and a driver meets you at Moi International Airport with a clean car. The fixed price covers all fees, so you know the cost upfront. The drive takes you directly to your accommodation without stops or negotiation, and infant seats are available if you're traveling with young children.Is it for me?Book this if you're landing at Mombasa and want to reach Diani without negotiating fares or arranging local transport — the fixed price and advance booking are what make it reliable, especially if you're arriving with luggage, children, or after a long flight.
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.
