Nairobi National Park Half Day Tour With Jeep With Pickup

Chris picked me up right on time in a beautifully maintained vehicle. We entered the park and he started spotting the different animals right away from amazing distances and also gave detailed explanations. We spent a long time with a pride of lions. Chris was generous and patient and almost instinctively knew what interested me without me even having to say it. Well recommended!

Peter, with Live and Love was super helpful, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable guide. He picked us up at our hotel and helped manage the park entrance process. Peter’s knowledge of her park, habitats, and its wildlife, helped put us on black and white rhino, lions, giraffes, zebra, hippos, and a wide variety of other wildlife. He read animal behavior well and positioned us for great viewing and photography. As a wildlife photographer, I recommend Peter and Live and Love to anyone looking for a quality safari experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible safari experience from start to finish! Peter and his drivers were absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and great at making sure we had the best possible experience. They were excellent at spotting wildlife and sharing interesting information along the way. The entire safari was unforgettable, and the combination of the beautiful scenery, incredible wildlife, and amazing drivers made it such a special experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unforgettable Day at Nairobi National Park! We visited Nairobi National Park two days ago, and the experience exceeded every expectation. It is truly unbelievable to witness such rich wildlife set right against the backdrop of the city horizon. The wildlife viewing was simply breathtaking. We were lucky enough to capture incredible moments up close, including: * Baby Elephant Feeding: Visiting the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust sanctuary adjacent to the park to watch orphaned elephants get bottle-fed was easily one of the most heartwarming highlights. * Lions & Herbivores: Spotting a magnificent lion resting in the golden grass after a hunt, alongside grazing herds of zebras, graceful giraffes, and impalas. * Watering Holes & Birds: Catching hippos wading in the park's pools and seeing dozens of marabou storks roosting in the acacia trees. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled at tracking, and knew all the best spots throughout the park while keeping our game drive comfortable and safe. Having a world-class safari experience just minutes outside downtown Nairobi is something everyone needs to experience at least once. If you are visiting Nairobi, do not pass this up—10/10 highly recommended!

It was an amazing three day experience. Our guide Jackson drove such long hours and tried to show us the best points. The other guide helped us, too. We saw a lot of animals including big fives. The lodge was very good and we really liked there. The food was good and we even saw some animals inside. This will be one of our best memories.

We spent three days with Peter as our tour guide, and we had an amazing experience. Peter is very friendly, knowledgeable, and an excellent driver. He showed us all the best places, and thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the famous Big Five in a short amount of time. From the very beginning, he guided us through everything and made us feel comfortable throughout the trip. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone looking for a memorable and adventurous first safari experience in the savannah. Thank you for making our trip so special!

+Peter, our tour coordinator, handled payments, transportation, and communication with ease. +Emmanuel was an exceptional guide. He was punctual for our hotel pickup, helped us navigate to the correct gate, and provided a flexible drop-off at the Nairobi market. +He had strong knowledge of the local flora and fauna and answered all our questions. +Elvis, our driver, was patient and provided a safe ride in a clean jeep. +We saw crocodiles, zebras, hippos, turkeys, giraffes, rhinos, baby elephants, and various birds. We were amazed at how many animals we saw. +Spotting a lioness with her cubs in the wild was the highlight of our trip to Kenya. It was the only lion we saw on our trip (and we even went to a national park!) and it truly made the experience unforgettable. +Emmanuel also guided us to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (elephant orphanage), where we got to touch baby elephants, and the Giraffe Center, where we hand-fed giraffes.

🤩This half-day Jeep safari at Nairobi National Park 🦓🦏🦬🐆🦒🦁🐗on February 2, 2026, with pick-up at 06:00 AM from the hotel, was exceptional, mainly thanks to our guide 🤩Elvis and his driver🤩. Both were extremely professional, friendly, efficient and impressively punctual. Because of their excellent timing, deep knowledge of the park and great coordination, we were able to see an incredible variety of wildlife. During the tour, we spotted lions, leopards, rhinos, buffalo and giraffes, as well as beautiful views of rivers inside the park that sustain its habitat and ecosystem. Exploring the park with such a competent and attentive team made the experience truly memorable. It’s important to note that the mandatory entrance fee for non-resident foreigners is USD 81, which must be purchased online via the official government website (eCitizen) https://kwspay.ecitizen.go.ke/single-park-entry/nairobi-national-park/guests This fee is separate from the tour and allows entry through the Main Gate. I highly recommend Live in Love Tours, especially guide Elvis and his driver. Their professionalism, punctuality and dedication truly made this safari unforgettable. 🙏🙌

We had a wonderful game safari experience, and the kids really enjoyed it. It was truly time well spent for the whole family. We were lucky to see lions, rhinos, and zebras in their natural habitat, which made the trip very exciting. The driver was very polite, friendly, and professional, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this safari to families and anyone visiting the park.

It was a really great experience from start to finish. Our driver and guide (Emmanuel and Elvis) picked us up at the hotel before 6, drove us to the park, facilitated purchase of the entrance fee within the car, and drove us in. They found animals immediately and for the entire tour they zipped around in our Land Cruiser finding one after another. They did a great job of navigating and finding new animals and plants and scenery for us. Elvis gave us information about the park and about the animals, and they made sure we had all the opportunity we wanted to take photos. They were really sweet and there was no pressure for any additional services or tips, which I have come to expect in tours (of course I gave them a tip!). The outing was incredible on its own, but even more so given the convenience and proximity to the city! Definitely worth it if you have a half-day of free time.

If you are in Kenya and short on time, this is a must. I had the car to myself and Chris was my driver and he was awesome. He picked me up from my hotel on time at 0600 (actually he was outside 15 mins early, which was great and thank you). The park was about 30 mins away…slight delay was the line up of tour cars at the gate to pay for entry but I understand it was also a Saturday. The park employees keep trying to get you to pay through their online ecitizen site and after multiple attempts if it doesn’t work they’ll bring you the POS machine for credit card to swipe and it works perfectly—-I don’t know why they don’t just do that from the beginning, would’ve saved us like 20 mins trying to tap my credit card or pay online….total charged on my card was 83 USD. THEY DO NOT TAKE CASH. And have a photo of your passport biopage just in case. The tour itself was a lot of fun and was actually 4-5 hours as advertised and I arrived back at my hotel at noon. Chris was on point and kept in contact with other drivers on their whatsapp groups so that we knew if someone spotted any big cats and we actually got lucky and saw lionesses hunt a zebra!!! Very cool!!! I also had the option to stop at the Giraffe Center and cut the park tour short by an hour but I decided to stay in the park since I’ve been to Giraffe center before…..but if you haven’t then you should!

The scenic view was simply spectacular, and it contributed to an overall wonderful experience that I will not soon forget

Glad we Booked our tour with Live in LoveKenya tours and travel. Bookings through Peter were smooth and easy, the tour guide Alvin and the day’s driver were so professional and friendly. We are definitely booking our next trip with them

We had an amazing experience! Peter organized everything seamlessly and Chris, our driver and guide, was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the game drive really enjoyable. We were lucky to see lots of wildlife up close. He even patiently waited while we bought some snacks before heading out, which was really thoughtful. The whole trip was smooth, well-planned, and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this team for anyone visiting Nairobi National Park and the surrounding attractions!

We arrived in Nairobi a day ahead of a scheduled 20 day safari, and booked with Live in Love safari for a Nairobi National Park safari, half day tour. We were picked up at the airport by Yesla, and transported to the National park. Yesla, told me during booking not to worry about getting the park pass, as he could take care of that, and he did, in very little time. The safari Landcruiser we were in was very clean, and in good repair. Yesla, was an excellent driver, going through town, and on the dirt roads in the park. My husband and I are both senior's and at no time were we bounced around. We saw all the animals and because we took this side trip, my family was able to say by the end of the trip, that we had seen the Big Five. (On our main safari we did not see a rhinoceros, but we did with Yesla) There was excellent communication before the trip. After the tour, the owner got in touch with us to make sure we were pleased with the service we received. I know when booking something in a different country, it can be nerve-racking especially when others in your group are expecting you to make a good choice, this group is a good choice.

Amazing experience! My girlfriend and I contacted Live in Love Safari via whatsapp. Communication was quick and clear, payment was easy, and prices were fair. We booked a half day safari at NairobiNl National Park with a stop at the elephant orphanage. Everyone was very accomdating and friendly. They even rescheduled our safari, without hassle, when we were sick. Our driver was early for pickup, knowledgeable, and very good at spotting animals. The safari was incredible, and we saw almost every animal. After the orphange our driver even took us to the Maasai Market. We had an amazing time and would highly, highly recommend!

It was amazing tour and nice guidence. They are very helpful and friendly I recommed it. We saw five lions even during they eat :)

Live in Love Kenya is truly an excellent Tours Operator. Starting from the doorstep pick up to the final drop off. Their drivers also double up as professional tour guides, patient, very friendly, very presentable and with great knowledge of the park. There is an alternative of clean and well maintained 4x4 Vehicles to pick from depending on your preference and needs. We spent the day with kids and they absolutely loved it and felt comfortable and accommodated. Great job! Highly recommended! 👏🏽🫶🏽💯

"The adventure was incredible! Every moment spent on the safari was filled with surprises and discoveries. Seeing the animals in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience ❤️From 🇨🇬 to 🇰🇪 ❤️

Emmanuel..The tour was awesome.The experience was unforgettable.and thank you for the experience too..Can't wait to visit again

In February 2025, we were able to visit the national park in Nairobi. The weather was wonderful. The guys met us at the airport. They drove around the park for 3-4 hours. It was very interesting. At our request, on the way back to the airport, the guys kindly took us to a grocery store where we did some shopping. Everything went well. Thanks a lot! Asante sana!

An incredible and cool safari in Nairobi National Park was organized for us by guys Peter, Jackson and Emmanuel! We had a 10-hour transfer flight, and the guys helped us spend it usefully! They met us at the airport and took us back. In 3 hours, we managed to see in the park in the wild - giraffes, a herd of zebras, a rhinoceros, ostriches, hippos, a crocodile, monkeys, antelopes. We drove around the park in search of lions, but at that moment we did not see them. We enjoyed such an active holiday to the fullest! Beautiful Kenya, positive emotions and the people who gave them!!

Excellent staff from booking, communication and the lovely guides. Comfortable vehicle. We saw many animals and the driver always found the best spots for enjoying watching and photography. I had a private drive which was extremely flexible. Altogether a special experience.

They picked us up on time, arrived at Nairobi National Park before 7AM. Yesler and Sogo were very friendly, spotted lots of animals and drove us to them, patiently answered our questions. We had fun while learning about the animals and the park.

Travelling with colleagues and had one rest day so arranged the tour for 4 of us. It was amazing, we had a wonderful experience. The elephant orphanage and giraffe centre are doing such great work, the animals looked so healthy. Could not recommend more highly! Would love to come back again 😎

Our tour guides were both incredible - they really looked after us, arrived early for pick up & took us round an amazing route. We saw lions / zebras / white & black rhinos and so much more. Brilliant service & brilliant people.

We were a group of 6 adults. I want to share my wonderful experience on the half day safari with Yesler and Sugow, his trainee. It was a truly fantastic trip! They came on time in the early morning at our hotel to drive us through the cold and quiet morning. Yesler did an exceptional job in spotting and calling out the wildlife, making sure we didn't miss any of the exciting sights. Additionally, his knowledge of the park, his experience, his efficient communication with his pair made the visit fantastic. His skillful positioning allowed for some amazing photo opportunities. We were able to get up close to the animals in a way that felt both safe and thrilling. We saw rhinos, lions, hippos, crocodiles, austriches, giraffes, zebras, …. And many more. Yesler's knowledge and enthusiasm for the wildlife really shone through, and it made the safari all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to have a memorable and engaging wildlife adventure. A bonus, the trip was affordable 👌. Thank you

We had the best experience we could've imagine in Nairobi National Park! We were picked-up & dropped off at the apartment we are staying in which was very convenient. Visiting the park was truly amazing! Our guide Yesla was very entertaining, knew a lot about the animals/park & put a lot of effort in seeing all the animals. His dedication to spot a lion was of another level which we appreciated a lot! We had the best time possible. Would absolutely recommend to book a tour via Live in Love Kenya tours and travel!

Amazing trip with Yesla, that made everything to allow us to see the most animals possible. Is commitment to allow to see a lion was amazing! Second time I do a Safri with Live in Love Kenya tours and travel, and I will probably repeat in the future! Peter is an amazing host.

Peter was so great. We had to cancel our Safari last minute because my partner suddenly fell sick and couldn’t travel. Peter refunded 100% of our deposit even if he didn’t have to. Will certainly be going back. Very thankful to Peter for his empathy and fairness.

This is was my second safari in Nairobi, this was by the best to date. The driver was very entertaining and friendly. He also did his best for us to see everything that we wanted. Great trip, can’t wait to do it again next year!

Fantastic trip with Yesler! He did a great job spotting and calling out the wildlife, as well as good positioning for photos during golden hour. The highlights were definitely the rhinos, which were amazing. 10 rhinos total, 7 white rhinos (including one baby) and 3 black rhinos!

Did an afternoon drive in Nairobi National Park with Live in Love Kenya. Pre drive communication was excellent. Yesler was our guide and was great. He was professional, fun, and excellent at spotting wildlife. We saw an array of animals and birds, but the highlight was seeing 10 rhinos. Highly recommend this tour company and Yesler as your guide.

Had a great time at the game drive. Chege is a natural storyteller and loves what he does. He was a fantastic guide! Highly recommend live n love

Very well organized trip. Prompt and courteous team who knew exactly where to spot different animals. We even saw a live hunt by a lioness

Muy buena experiencia. 100% recomendable. Nuestro conductor y guía, Emmanuele, nos recogió en la puerta de nuestro hotel a la hora planeada (él llegó con bastante adelanto incluso) y nos llevó a ver el refugio de elefantes bebés, el parque nacional de Nairobi y el centro de jirafas. Después nos dejó en el aeropuerto porque teníamos nuestro vuelo unas pocas horas más tarde. Vimos un montón de animales: leones, cebras, jirafas, hipopótamos, cocodrilos, búfalos, impalas, monos, decenas de distintas aves… en fin, ¡una maravilla! Todo lo ves desde el 4x4 que tiene un techo elevado desde el que puedes estar todo el rato asomado y casi siempre a la sombra. Resulta increíble tener todos estos animales a un paso de la ciudad, de hecho puedes ver los edificios de fondo. Resulta que es el único parque nacional del mundo dentro de los límites de una ciudad.
