We had a wonderful trip to the Giraffe Centre. Our guide Kelvin could not have been more helpful. He arranged a private pick up from our hotel to the centre and liaised with me all the way He was very knowledgable about the history of the centre and the various types of giraffe found in Kenya. He knew all the best spots for photographs and took some excellent ones of us. Feeding the giraffes is a big highlight, we did not feel rushed and had plenty of time for questions I would recommend this tour and Kelvin is one of the most experienced guides. After the experience he drove us back to our hotel as well

I was traveling alone, so needed someone to take plenty of pictures and videos, and Isaac was very helpful with it, I have great memories :)
Best experience of my life; I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Nairobi, and the tour guide was amazing.
this was the perfect introduction to Kenya - giraffes, empowered women’s bead factory and Kelvin as our knowledgeable kind guide - we thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Kelvin was so knowledgeable and helpful. I was feeling sick and weak and he was very willing to accommodate.
Interaction with the giraffes is spectacular! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Also, he went out the way and made a couple extra stops to accommodate my wife's shopping and an added tour to a bead company that supports single mothers and combats FGM!
Had a wonderful experience with our tour guide Kelvin - very knowledgeable and took some brilliant photos. Would definitely select tours with Nivlek Tours.
Our experience was amazing! Our guide Kelvin was spectacular. He was super friendly, knowledgeable and kept us safe while offering us an amazing time. Plus he is an amazing photographer. We are so glad we did this tour with Nivlek Tours and we got Kelvin as our guide. We also had the pleasure of meeting Mercy in the beginning of our tour who was also very nice and friendly. I will definitely recommend this company, guide and tour. Based on our experience today, I would have booked my entire itinerary with them if it wasn’t because we have a previously purchased package. Thank you Kelvin for the memorable experience!

I had the most amazing experience! Kelvin was an amazing driver/guide/photographer, all in one! I honestly don’t bother much writing reviews unless they are exceptional, and this one was one of them. Thank you! I will cherish this day forever.
Great experience. Excellent guide, very knowledgeable and great company. Got some amazing photos and memories. Great communication before and after. Highly recommended.
Our guide Kelvin was amazing and so knowledgeable, we had the best time. Loved visiting where they make the beaded jewellery. Couldn’t recommend this tour more
Kelvin picked us up and drove us around for our experience. He was very knowledgeable and also helped us avoid/ minimize waiting time. The giraffe area was a fun experience, and we also stopped by a little market and restaurant. Would definitely recommend it!
What a wonderful and joyful experience we had at the Giraffe Centre with our amazing guide Mercy. Not only was she informative but incredibly patient and calm when there was pickup confusion from our end!! Our highlight of the day was hand feeding these beautiful animals. Asante sana Mercy!
We had such a fantastic time on our giraffe tour in Kenya! From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless—pickup and drop-off were right on time and completely stress-free. A huge shoutout to our guide, Kelvin, who was extremely knowledgeable and made the day so much fun. His insights and energy really elevated the whole experience for us.
Kelvin was an amazing tour guide with patience, professionalism, kindness, and knowledge on the Giraffe's! He took LOTS of pictures for me and I couldn't be more grateful. The ladies and gentlemen at the bead shop made the tour and experience as the icing on a cake! I loved every moment! ASANTE Kelvin!
Kelvin was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Feeding the giraffes made us all smile and learning about the different species was very interesting. The tour was finished with a trip to a ceramic bead and leather making enterprise with a vocal performance full of joy at the end!
Great experience feeding the giraffes. My guide was super friendly and super knowledgeable. We also then went to the bead making factory which was also great as well. A lovely morning spent
Kelvin was an amazing person, he had the insight about the Rothschild giraffe. We had fun
Kelvin our tour guide is an absolute diamond of a man, warm, funny, kind and passionate, the very best of Africa. We had the most wonderful memorable morning at the Giraffe centre with our girls and then took in a traditional crafts and beads making centre. 10 out of 10. Nice one Kelvin!!! Andy and the girls x
Good experience and Good Guide
Learning about giraffe species in Kenya is amazing
I only had limited time and they accommodate this perfectly. I was a solo traveler and felt very safe, Kelvin was very knowledgeable and helpful he made the trip very special and I loved feeding the giraffe’s
My children enjoyed the feeding and all of us learnt a lot from Kelvin about the Rothschild giraffe. Highly recommend the tour.
What an experience feeding the endangered is a great experience I highly recommend the tour with Nivlek Tours
It was fabulous to learning and feeding the tallest animal in the world.
Our flight arrived 2hrs later than what we anticipated and we only had 20 minutes at the hotel to turn around to get out on the tour. “No problem” said Kelvin (who had been in contact with us since we touched down at the airport), Have you had a coffee and breakfast?” And that set the tone for the whole morning. He took us to a cafe enroute and while we feasted on the breakfast menu, he gave us an introduction to Kenya, Nairobi and the surrounding counties. He was totally captivating and so charming. The giraffe centre was brilliant, all the giraffes and warthog were hungry for people to feed them and Kelvin took lots of great photos on our phones so we could enjoy the experience without have to worry about those insta-poses. I wasn’t sure I wanted to go to the bead factory (I was in need of sleep) but I am so pleased we did. It was a heartwarming and empowering experience, the welcome song was fantastic and chatting to the ladies crafting the beads through every stage of manufacture was as if we were old family members. We all wanted to buy beaded products in the shop afterwards to celebrate their achievements. All in all a brilliant first day in Keyna, all made possible with Kelvin’s caring and welcoming attitude
It was out of this world. Had all the fun .I recommend the tour with Nivlek Tours
Tour operator called me while I was outside awaiting pickup and told me the driver will be there in 30 minutes. So the driver will be 30 minutes late? 🤨 the excuse was traffic. That’s not MY problem is it ? The driver should have left earlier. I called Viator to request a refund, but instead we decided to reschedule for the next day. Tour was ok no complaints. I would not use this tour operator again because they don’t value my time. A few minutes late is understandable, 30 minutes late is unsatisfactory.
Best experience in Nairobi. The whole tour was self paced and there was so many things to do and learn
Excellent trip to the Giraffes. Kelvin was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. I would 100% have Kelvin be a guide for my next adventure.
We had a great time visiting the giraffe centre and Kobe beads. Kelvin taught us a lot about giraffes and helped us feed them! This is a must do tour. Kelvin is a great guide and driver. He explained lots to us and answered all our questions, and took photos throughout. He is also very funny and made it a very enjoyable tour!
The tour was amazing! Kelvin was a very polite and knowledgeable guide. We spent enough time at each place to experience everything. The booking process was simple and they were always quick to reply to any queries. The guide was on time to pick me up and even told me stories about other popular sights in nairobi and the animals we can see around
We had fun with kelvin at giraffe centre. We learnt about the giraffe ,the types and their adaptation. It was a great learning tour.
I have used Nivlek Tours for another safari. Their hospitality and the guide knowledge led to me booking this giraffe tour. I highly recommend the tour and the company
Loved feeding the giraffe up close. Perfect short trip from Nairobi for families and animal lover's. Highly recommend for a fun educational outing
Woo giving them the pellets and felling their sticky saliver was a great adventure. Highly recommend.
Amazing staring at the giants . Kelvin thought us everything about them . Book learn and enjoy.
Thank you Nivlek Tours! Our Giraffe Centre family trip with Kelvin was incredible. Kid-friendly, educational, unforgettable. We loved feeding the Rothschild giraffes. Highly recommend!Unforgettable.
It was awesome feeding the giraffe and learning about them with Kelvin
Actually went for two tours: Nairobi National Park and Giraffe center, both on different days. Kelvin was our tour guide on both occasions. We had a little miscommunication at the beginning but it got sorted out. Kelvin was so courteous, patient and gentle. He explained a lot of things to us. I enjoyed the Giraffe centre tour a lot because we got to feed the giraffes and he explained so many things to us. Overall, it was a lovely experience with a wonderful tour guide.
It was an amazing experience. Mr Kelvin is very patient, kind, cheerful and friendly. I recommend this tour to everyone. I had fun. Thank you very much.
It is was a great experience being in close contact with the giraffe. I recommend the tour with Nivlek
The best 👌 of the best Professional tour guide kelvin We surely recommend the company to my friends and family
Great experience with Nivlek Tours. Kelvin was a great tour guide. The highlight of the tour was the women empowerment bid making factory. Besides the beautiful bids and leather works, the welcome song by the Massai women was incredible. Would love a repeat.
Kelvin was an amazing driver and guide! He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. I had a bit of free time while in Nairobi, and booked it in the morning for noon. The company was communicative up to the tour.
What an Nivlek Tours' Giraffe Centre visit was a hit! Interacting with Rothschild's giraffes was a blast. Great conservation efforts and passionate staff kelvin made it a memorable experience.
It was a good experience feeding the giraffes with our children. They had a memorable tour. It's a fun tour book and have a taste
Beautiful experience feeding the giraffe. And the beads factory. Loved every moment.
