We had a great experience! Daniel our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging! He found every animal we wanted to see and had very interesting knowledge about the park and animals. I think half day for this is perfect length and I would highly recommend this experience. Not only was our guide very knowledgeable and dropped us back off directly at our hotel, but we forgot something in the safari truck and he helped return it to us. Great experience all around!
Really enjoyed the safari! Frances, our guide, was amazing, a beautiful soul! The Land Cruiser was full (8 people), but we were all comfortable, and everyone had their own seat. The vehicle was really good, with an open roof, so we could stand up throughout the safari and look around properly. I had a great time. Thank youuuuu!
It was a very disappointing experience. Pick up and drop off was promised. I was supposed to be picked up from a hotel. They called and I said i will wait at the hotel at the stated time. I went out earlier. The car never came. I called the number that i was contacted with. It wasn't working. I tried multiple times. I waited 20 min and had to call a ride myself to take me to the national park. On my way I called the Cruise beyond office. They responded after multiple calls. When i arrive they were almost ready to embark the tour. No apologies asked. When we finish the tour I also have to take a ride as the driver said he will be going on a different route. Poor customer service!
Big shout out to Tony, certainly one of the best tour guides. Courteous, friendly and knowledgeable, providing us with interesting facts about the park and its inhabitants. The half-day tour is just the right duration to visit and see Kenya’s natural beauty. Timely pick-up and drop-off from the hotel in a nice clean vehicle. Definitely a must visit when in Nairobi. Asante
It was our little "taster" safari before a longer tour next week. Tony was helpful and knowledgeable. We were lucky to see an exciting little skirmish caused by a lion. Really fun morning.
Tony was very nice driver, all went super smooth from pickup to the drive itself, we saw a lot of animals, and even cheetah. It was great experience! Small tip for everyone - it is rather chill this time of the year, so don’t hesitate to take a jacket/have extra layer:)
Tony was a terrific driver, giving us an abundance of information as we drove round the park and observed a wide variety of animals. He was a very personable, and communicated well with us via WhatsApp prior to the visit. Thank you :)
Once inside the park, all went well, nice driver, great sightings. Loads of wildlife and beautiful nature. Leading to that was substandard and I would not book from Trip Advisor/Viator again and would choose another company because once I booked with my credit card many days before the safari, I couldn't make any queries re the logistics. The links on the booking website didn't work and the Kenyan phone number provided for organiser didn't. It's only after using AI and trying all the phone numbers listed that somebody responded. That was the day evening before the safari. And I was given logistics and pricing information, which came way (or conveniently) too late for me to cancel. I ended up overpaying USD 40 to the Park due to the last minute info received until the morning of the safari. My recommendation is to avoid booking through this platform and ensure you have all the Ts&Cs before booking or making a deposit payment.
Great first safari! David made sure we got close and had good viewing spots. Spent 2-3 hours in the park. Nice small group. Highly recommend!
I did the 4x4 Jeep Game Drive Group Tou and it was spectacular. 5 star experience from prompt pickup, clean and capable vehicle, saw many animals up close and ideal tour length. Special shout out to our driver Willy who has been a guide for 7 years and obviously knew where best to spot the animals. Worth every penny. Thank you Willy and Cruize Beyond.
Had a wonderful safari , and amazing time seeing hippo giraffe lion and buffalo. Pick up was in a luxury vehicle at 5.50 (though had selected a 6.30 am pick up - so guess that flexibility is required on this). Return to town was in a rather battered uber, which kind of left the tour feeling on a somewhat downbeat note, as did having to negotiate the National Parks app to pay the park entrance fee - which is separate and more than the safari cost. Did not feel this was made adequately apparent in the blub about the tour (though granted im not one for reading all the small print). So overall a great morning out, but not quite the 100% it could have been.
Easy and convenient pick up with great comms about timings. Great safari with some brilliant wildlife seen. Options to join for elephant sanctuary during the tour which I would recommend. Lovely stop on the way back for a gift and some breakfast. Couldn’t recommend enough
Wonderful experience wi the my hobby, we loved every minute of it and going back with bunch of our friends from USA.
The tour was okay, but I expected to see more wildlife for the price. We only saw a limited number of animals, and I've had much better game drive experiences in other countries. While the guide was professional and the park is convenient if you're already in Nairobi, I didn't feel the experience justified the cost.
Tony was an excellent guide and the whole experience was very well organized. I live in Nairobi and have gone on a handfull of safaris and game drives and this one was one of the best. First, the pick up was communicated on time AND Tony arrived a few minutes early at our pick up point. Second, we went to a gate at Nairobi National Park that was not over-crowded and managed to enter the park very quickly and not as part of a long convoy of tourist vehicles. Tony also guided us on the process to pay for park entries to minimize wait times. Third, even fter going on mamny game drives, I leanred new things about the animals we saw. Tony was very knowledgeable about the animals and good at communicating that knowledge. He also has a keen sense for where the animals may be at a given time. One time he spotted a group of rhinos that no one else had seen and we got to see them up close - it was amazing. I'd highly recommend Cruize Beyond Tours and Travel. They are an extremely communicative and efficient team.
We were Gone By Pur Guide Mr. Tony Cruize He was Our Guide and He is Very Supportive and Also He know Very Well A out The Safari History He Tells Us The Very Good Information About The Safari Animals We Wish Him Best If Luck Regards Ishaque From Khalid Group ESI
It was a lovely experience and it's great to see wild animals in their natural environment.
Would have liked to have some more animals
Excellent. Amazing tour guide, it was a nice experience and lovely
Had a great time at the park today. Tony, our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly. We managed to see two Cheetahs because of him. We also saw giraffes and zebras up close. Overall, it was worth it. Best of luck with all your future tours Tony!
Everything was professional, guide was knowledgeable.
Had a lovely time at Nairobi National Park with our tour guide Eric, he was informative, funny and very entertaining. Will definately book with Cruize Beyond Tours and Travels again.
Great tour, well organized, the tour guide Tony made it even more spectacular. Would definitely recommend!!!
My safari experience was truly unforgettable, and a huge part of that was thanks to my incredible guide. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and nature. His ability to spot animals from a distance was amazing, and he always made sure we had the best views while respecting the animals and their environment. He shared so many interesting facts about the wildlife, ecosystems, and local culture, making every moment both exciting and educational. He went above and beyond to ensure I saw as much as possible and felt comfortable throughout the journey. Not only was he an excellent guide, but also a kind and positive person who made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience.
Avoid! Badly planned picked up late long waits, it’s not worth it. Wasn’t what was promised . Rather spend a little
This was a great option for someone who wants to see wildlife without a long ride away from Nairobi. Our guide Tony Cruiser was really friendly and knowledgeable, it was a fun ride!
Just finished a group tour with Tony in the morning for a safari in Nairobi national park. It was a truly amazing experience. Tony picked us up right on time as communicated in the booking. He is very funny, sympathic and he drove us safely in and outside of the park. We saw lots of different animals and Tony shared detailed knowledge with us. I would 100% recommend this tour and company.
If you’re looking for the best half-day visit to the Nairobi National Park safari experience, look no further than Cruize Beyond Tours and Travel. This was, without a doubt, the perfect way to end our Easter break. The entire package including gate fees were very affordable for our group of 10. Our tour kicked off at 6:30 a.m. and even though there was a long queue at the gate, Tony turned it into an experience of its own. His warmth, humor, and engaging personality kept us entertained the entire time—we didn’t even glance at our watches — a rare feat for those of us wired with a “corporate clock,” even on holiday. Once inside, the magic unfolded. From glimpses of lions playing hide-and-seek in the wild, to the striking contrast of wildlife against the Nairobi skyline, every moment felt surreal. We saw giraffes, rhinos, and visited the historic ivory burning site—but what truly stood out was how Tony brought the experience to life. He shared fascinating insights, including lessons about the Big Five, the “Rare Five,” and even the “Ugly Five”—a fun and memorable twist that kept everyone engaged. A personal highlight was spotting a young martial eagle perched high on a tree—something I had never seen before. And just when we thought the experience couldn’t get any better, it did. During one of our stopovers, we noticed a newly engaged couple and we teased Tony (who we had already discovered is an incredible singer to serenade them. What followed was a beautiful, heartfelt moment that none of us will ever forget. That’s the kind of magic you can’t plan for - it just happens when you’re with the right guide. Tony’s passion is unmatched - from his captivating stories about Kenya’s parks to the seamless coordination with other drivers using their “coded language” to ensure we didn’t miss any wildlife sightings. The tour van was also incredibly comfortable, complete with charging sockets - perfect for keeping our phones alive as we turned them into full-time cameras. If you want more than just a game drive - if you want a truly memorable Nairobi safari experience - then book with Tony Cruize at Cruize Beyond Tours and Travel. We’re already planning our next trip to the Maasai Mara or Samburu, and there’s no question who we’ll be booking with. Highly recommended!
The pick up was good except they told me 1 PM and it turned out to be almost 2 PM because we were the last pick up. They didn’t tell that to me until sometime through that morning. Earlier would’ve been better. the lion we saw was laying flat down and didn’t move at all. Except when these birds startled him. Simply picked his head up and put it back down so that was quiet. We did see a black rhino from a distance, 2 White rhinos pretty up close, a water buffalo real close. But not lots of animals as far as numbers just a few. We did not see a hippo or any hippos, although I understand they’re there. Would I go again, of course, because although I see a lot of animals in the Swara conservancy, no rhinos, water buffalo, hippos, lions here.
Where to start. The star of the tour is Tony himself. From the warm welcome and smile that doesn't fade throughout the day to his amazing sense of humor and excellent photography skills and finally to his amazing music talent when I would for sure remember and talk about for many years. Ok to safari trip. Nice half a day out pick up was on time arrived to the park nice and early. I would recommend if Tony share the park ticket booking info before hand so you odnt spend alot of time felling the on line form when you get there. Tony knows exactly where to take you so you make the most of your time and see as much of the big fours and 5 ugly animals to see. The trip is well worth it and I have been to many trips and excursions but Tony is a wonderful guide and human being. I will for sure will do the safari trip with him again. Thanks alot Tony.
Toni was the guy we talked to and he was outstanding during the whole tour. Amazing organisation
Toni was honestly the best tour guide I’ve ever had. From the moment the safari started, his energy, professionalism, and sense of humor made the entire experience unforgettable. He was incredibly attentive, always making sure we were comfortable and having a great time, and he went above and beyond to make the tour special. What really stood out was how knowledgeable he is — you can tell he truly loves what he does. On top of that, his friendly and funny personality made every moment enjoyable. It never felt like just a tour, it felt like an experience created with care. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my safari in Nairobi. I highly recommend Toni to anyone — he truly deserves it!
Beautiful national park, yet I was a bit disappointed by the trip. The actual park visit is only 2.5-3 hours, followed by visits to overpriced gift shops where we spent nearly 1.5 hours, which felt like a waste of time to me. Some people might be interested in that, but mentioning this in the advertisement would be fair to everyone else.
Amazing! Great friendly guide
Unbelievable….. saw everything.
My colleagues and I had the best time at the Nairobi National Park! Our wonderful tour guide Tony Cruize made the experience 100x better than one could imagine. He explained different aspects about animals and their way of living and took wonderful pictures to share with us. He was very kind and really funny so that tied up the whole experience. The animals were so beautiful and very calm, they really know how to entertain a crowd. Definitely worth it—book with Tony, he happens to be a great singer too!!!
The tour was absolutely magical! Tony, our guide, was extremely friendly, fun, funny, and knowledgeable. Cannot recommend this tour enough. We saw all kinds of animals including lions, cheetah, giraffes, hippos.. truly a magical experience.
Tony led us on an amazing afternoon safari in Nairobi National Park. He had great communication and timeliness for our pickup. During our time in the park, he provided a lot of information about the wildlife. I was surprised by how many animals we saw, particularly in such close proximity to the city. We saw a warthog, antelope, ostriches, giraffes, zebras, crocodiles, hippos, both white and black rhinos, and a cheetah! Absolutely fantastic experience!
it was an amazing tour and priceless impressions. Tony guides with full attention as for his guests as for the smallest details. it was not just common safary but an impressive expirience in opening Kenya's local cultures. Like I said, the most frequent word from me was "unbelievable".
The best safari I went to! Even though we only had 1.5 hour, guide managed to show us almost everything! Amazing park, amazing company!
The van was old and tight but the driver did his best to show us, the tourists, as much game as it was available. He knew the hot spots and drove us there on time, so we could see lions eating a bison, giraffes, rhinos and so much more. I got what I paid for ($45), and even more.
What a guy! Tony is a wonderful human being and safari guide, we had a great time exploring the national park, lots of fun, laughter, and animal spotting. Thanks Tony!
I booked the tour the day before as I had an unexpected layover in Nairobi. Communication was good, they messaged me to inform me of the process, sent me the link to pay the Park Entry online prior, updated me on the meeting point and time. I was in a van group of 6 and Linus was our tour guide. He was amazing! Friendly and humorous! He really took his time to make sure we saw the best views, constantly communicating by radio to make sure we arrived at the best spots to see the wildlife. He was committed to us getting or memorable photo of which we got a lot! The price for the tour is on the cheaper end, honestly I think it was all I needed. The van is comfortable and spacious enough. The most important part is that your guide is hot-footing you to a place where we can clearly see the animals and that is exactly what he did. Linus was great, very knowledgable and fun. He communicated with my driver to make sure I was dropped off so I could quickly return to the airport. It was a great experience and I am so glad that I had the opportunity.
Antony was a great guide, he was fun and explained everything very well. I had great time!
Look elsewhere. The time was changed which they didn’t inform of. Then called to say they be a further 1hr late. Tried messaging them but no response. A total lack of professionalism. Use someone else
We had an incredible safari with Tony in Nairobi National Park. We had an early start and got to the gate for when it opened, which was definitely worth it as it was cooler and we saw lots of amazing animals. Tony's knowledge of the animals and the park really added to the experience and he was such a fun and entertaining safari guide. We would definitely recommend the Nairobi National Park safari to anyone!
It was truly an amazing experience, we even managed to see the lions. Tony is very knowledgeable and professional. I would definitely recommend! Thanks a lot!
We had an amazing safari tour today, made even better by our guide and driver, Shem. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. The drive was smooth, the sights were beautiful, and Shem shared great insights along the way. Highly recommend this tour and especially Shem if you get the chance!
Our trip started from the pick up at our Marina Bay Apartment . W Tony ( our tour guide) was on time. Tony made it easy for us. He knows almost all the animals in the park and gave us brief history of the animals . We saw many animals ( Lions, giraffes, antelope, rhinos, etc) we learnt some Kenya's languages courtesy of Tony. My family loved the trip and will love to cime.back again for another experince. Thank you so.much Tony for.making it a memorable one for my Kids and family at large. Asante
