Gate Away To Sarova Shaba Guided By Big Foot Adventure
Overall rating
5/5

Just came back from Sarova Shaba.. this trip wouldnt have been so much fun if it were not for the Big Foot Adventure tour guides. Everything about them is awesome. These guys are courteous, very friendly and accomodative too. They drive at your speed, play the music you want and engage you in a way that is pleasant. They blended so well with our team you could hardly tell the difference between us and them. Their fleet of vans is new and well maintained. I just loved their services.. i would like to recommend them for a well done job. Thanks Saidi Mtumi, Anthony Gitangu and Timothy.

Amazing tour in Nairobi National Park with BigFoot
Overall rating
5/5

Amazing tour in Nairobi National Park. The tour its self was incredible, from the national park, seeing lions straight after a hunt, to watching the orphaned elephants play and feed, to feeding giraffes and holding a baby crocodile.

Safari in the city
Overall rating
5/5

We started our first Kenyan safari adventure with a half day in Nairobi National Park. Amazing that it was only a 15 minute drive ffrom our hotel! A lioness greeted us followed by a pair of giraffes. We saw 4 of the big five (only missed the leopard) and many others including black and white rhinos, ostriches, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, crocodiles and too many types of antelopes to remember. Really worth an extra day in Nairobi to see the park, get settled in the Kenyan vibe and start spotting wildlife.

Nairobi National Park is a wonderful introduction to East Africa - beautiful animals & environment.
Overall rating
5/5

I was pleased to find an area with abundant visible African mammals, birds and reptiles so close to Nairobi. It was easy to arrange transportation and a guide who drove me through the area pointing out large mammals and typical east Africa birds. My rhinoceros sighting in Nairobi National Park was the best of the trip. I also saw zebra, lions, bateleur, and many more often in a nicely photographable setting. I have recommended this area to friends traveling to East Africa and will continue to do so. I hope to return.

Often described as a good introduction to the wildlife and birds of Kenya, this park is a must see.

We were originally planning to skip Nairobi National Park in favor of other destinations, but something came up forcing us to remain in Nairobi an extra day. I'm very glad we visited. It's so much more than just the juxtaposition of megafauna in view of the Nairobi skyline. We saw nearly 100 species of birds in a few hours, and we got to see a lot of large mammals easily, including a lion with blood dripping from its mouth, having just come from a kill. You can actually get out of the vehicle and walk around the hippo pools trail -- the park has a guard at the trailhead who will take you for a tip -- which allowed us to see insects, a nile crocodile, and a number of birds up close in the tall acacias there. It was great because visitors aren't allowed to leave their vehicle in many Kenyan parks. If I make a return trip to Kenya, I will make a point to visit Nairobi National Park again.

An amazing experience with a wide variety of wildlife
Overall rating
5/5

We took a friend's van into the park and drove ourselves all over. As far as I know, this is the only national park in Kenya where this is allowed. Just minutes into our drive, we encountered a large, male rhino that jumped out into the road directly ahead of us. A few turns later, we found ourselves surrounded by a herd of at least 40 African buffalo! We saw many lions, giraffes, baboons, and zebras. The opportunities to see wildlife seemed endless, especially at water holes. Not having a guide, we chose our routes using "dumb luck" and it worked out well for us. We had to plan very carefully, since there are few toilets available and no food in the park. The weather was very comfortable and pleasant. Given the chance, I would definitely return to this park.
