“Initially, I was unsure about booking this trip, but it turned out to be one of the best experiences. I received the necessary information from the tour provider the evening before the tour, though I did have to follow up on WhatsApp to get the details. That said, we were fortunate to have an excellent guide and driver. There were only two couples in the vehicle (including us), which made the experience more comfortable and personalized. The driver was also kind enough to drop me at a different location upon request. During the safari, we spotted many lions, rhinos, and almost every possible wildlife species present in Nairobi National Park.…”
