More day tours run in Kenya than anybody could compare by hand. These 15 came through that comparison, with cost, hours in the vehicle, and the traveller each was built for.

Full-day safari from Nairobi to Amboseli to see elephants and Mt. Kilimanjaro, plus a Maasai village visit in a pop-up roof 4x4.
“Wonderful safari! The day before, they sent us all the information and the link to purchase tickets for Amboseli Park. They were punctual in the morning, and the guide, Harrison, and the driver were kind and knowledgeable. The journey is a bit long and busy, especially on the way back. In the park, we saw many elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, antelopes, flamingos, hippos, ostriches, monkeys, and a cheetah that attacked some antelopes. The visit to the Maasai village was also interesting; they showed you their lifestyle, their dwellings, and their medicines. Amazing experience”
Private hike up Mt. Longonot from Nairobi, with Rift Valley viewpoints, lakeside lunch, and an optional Lake Naivasha boat for hippos and eagles.
“I was Ppicked up on time from hotel and taken to entrance of Nairobi NP to purchase my ticket. We spent approx. 3 hours driving in the park. The driver accommodated my wish to see specific animals I was particularly interested in.”
Full-day Tsavo East safari from Diani with early pickup, a pop-top vehicle for wildlife viewing, and a real shot at Tsavo’s famous lions.
“The one day trip to Tsavo is not suitable for tourist staying in Diani. The park is 3 hours each way which allows you to stay only few hours in the park. Driver and guide Francis, who did a great job, stops at tourist trap on way to and from the park. Due to arrival and exit times you miss peak animal viewing time.”

“I had an amazing time! Patrick drove me to the reserve, he was on time with my pick up from my Airbnb and he made the almost 4 hour drive very relaxing. My Maasai Mara tour guide Ernest was the best, he was very knowledgeable and stopped and gave me time to take photos and videos of all the wildlife. I would highly recommend this activity while in Nairobi!!!”

One-day Maasai Mara safari from Nairobi with early pickup, Rift Valley photo stops, guided game drives, and a park fee added.
“Excellent driver and guide. Great experience overall. The only “negative” is that it’s a very long day - it takes a solid 4 hours each way from Nairobi. But if you only have one day for a safari, it’s well worth it.”
