Nairobi National Park Half Day Tour

Benson was a friendly and knowledgeable guide. He gave helpful information and was quick to respond to correspondence. I recommend him for your Nairobi National Park experience.

Benson made our short stay in Nairobi unforgettable. He was incredibly kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to ensure we saw every animal and answered all of our questions. He was always on time and had a great attitude. I would recommend Benson to anyone!

Easy to contact, perfectly on time and friendly. Great value for price, would book again. Thank you team!

My friend and I spent a good 6 hours with Benson on a private tour and it was the most wonderful part of our trip to Kenya. We booked the dawn tour and it gave us a few hours of slightly cooler weather but also the chance to see more animals. We were soooo impressed with Benson's vast knowledge of the animals, the bird identification skills, the depth of information he knew about habitat, behaviour, and the environment. He gave us such thorough answers to any questions we asked, as well as seeking out and spotting things we would definitely have missed of we had gone alone. He had a very impressive ability to find spots other drivers hadn't and make sure we had excellent views. We felt so safe in the vehicle and he navigated all the features of the park expertly. What we saw - lions (including mating lions), 13 rhino, buffalo, baboon, crocodile, hippo, countless ostrich, giraffe and zebra, rock hyrax, Thompsons gazelle, impala, hartebeast, reedbuck, marabou storks, vultures, monitor lizard, various types of ibis and egrets, guinea fowl, openbill, numerous birds of prey, cuckoo, and so many other stunning birds. We would not hesitate to recommend Benson and would encourage everyone to book with him. The value he brings is priceless and he was in regular contact with hos network of guides to make sure we didnt miss anything. Thank you Benson!!!

Booked this at a spur of the moment and we were very pleased! We saw so many animals, birds and crocodile and alligators! Our guide was Dickson with Benson Kungu as the tour operator. They did not disappoint. FYI you must also pay the national park fee.

For prescriptive purposes, I take frequent solo trips, but this particular visit was made while on a transition flight. I have never had a very thorough and professional guide; he tracked my flight and was already waiting for me at the pickup point for the tour to take me to the national park. Mr Benson is very knowledgeable about the park's history and educates visitors about the different animals in the park. If I visit Kenya again, I will be very happy to tour with this company again.

As a solo female traveller and first-time visitor to Kenya, I was looking for a safe and reliable safari experience. Mr. Benson was punctual, respectful, knowledgeable, and, importantly, fun to be around! I took the safari on my own and it was the best decision. Mr. Benson adapted to my needs and preferences, sharing knowledge, stopping whenever and for as long as I wanted, and joining me in moments of silence and contemplation. His driving was very safe and professional. At the park, I saw all the animals there were to see. I’m talking about 15 rhinos, 30+ zebras, 10+ giraffes, lionesses and their cubs, buffalos, hippos, crocodiles, and gorgeous birds (non-exhaustive list!). I added two photos only not to spoil it. Unforgettable experience! I highly recommend him. And I advise you to book the morning safari like I did.

We truly enjoyed this experience. Dickson came to pick us up early, helped us purchase an entrance ticket to the park, and from the very beginning, made sure we saw lions, impalas, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, crocs, and many types of birds. While the park is close to the city, you really feel like you're in the savannah, with beautiful flora and landscapes. We paid a little more but had the van to ourselves, which meant we didn't have to drive around picking up other tourists and were among the first at the park gates (you have to be early). It was my very first safari, and it was incredible. What a day!

amazing experience with our driver and guide Benson. Saw so much! Truly worth every penny. We saw rhinos, zebras, giraffes, and antelopes. It's a mini safari experience.

I booked this trip the night before, with a request for 2 different pick up locations; Nairobi airport and a hotel. Also, due to working appointments, we wanted the trip to be within a specific timeline. Neither of these requests were an issue, we were picked up in time and returned to the hotel as agreed. We had an excellent trip and we spotted many animals, 3 out of the big 4, as well as hippos, crocodiles, fish eagles, maraboes and many many more. We had a pleasant break from our working day and would definetely advise to book with Benson Kungu's jungleman!

The morning game drive at Nairobi National Park was absolutely magical! We entered the park just as the first light of day touched the horizon, with the city skyline fading into the distance and the savannah awakening all around us. The contrast of skyscrapers in the background and giraffes grazing in the golden morning light was surreal. Our guide’s sharp eyes spotted many animals, rhinos, lions, giraffes and countless zebras. This morning safari was the perfect start to the day – peaceful, exciting, and unforgettable. I would recommend Benson as a guide to anyone visiting Nairobi!

John was a great guide/spotter/driver. He was on time to pick me up at 5:30 am at my hotel. Once inside the park he was a keen animal spotter. Throughout the course of our time we saw lions, hippos, white rhinos, giraffes, eland, impalas, gazelles, zebras, baboons, crocodiles, ostrich, warthogs. John shared many facts and stories about the animals. He was also very knowledgeable about trees and birds. We saw vultures, cranes, guinea fowl, storks, heron, spoonbills, and a cinnamon-chested bee eater. John was polite and super patient as we stopped to just watch animals and silently observe them in awe. As a solo female traveler I appreciated his graciousness. Highly recommend this excursion and John!

It was an absolute pleasure having Benson as my tour guide - he was super knowledgeable and also incredibly kind. I was traveling alone and he made me feel super welcome and comfortable. It was so easy to spend the day with him!! Highly recommend:)

Anyone who goes and manages to get Benson Kungu Jungleman as a tour guide you will be lucky. He is very enthusiastic, brings good energy and is very informative. Even went over time a little which was cool, we managed to see all the big 5 except the bulls. He made sure to ensure we try to see all and wouldn’t rest until we did. It was a pleasure, made my time in Kenya great I was excited to do this & would do it again.

amazing experience all my guest enjoyed the tour,they were lucky to see most animals especially the lion which is the king of the jungle

I was on this half-day trip with Benson Kungu early in April 2024. Benson is a very nice and experienced guide who knows the area very well. He has a huge knowledge about the animals in the park. Safe driver. Tour is highly recommended!

Everything was great including on time pick up and a clean/well maintained van. It was a rainy season and the weather wasn't great, and the tour was supposed to be for 5 hours in the park. But Benson actually spent more time to make sure I saw every possible animal. Highly recommended.

Benson is so knowledgeable about the animals, and very attentive to needs and interests. Benson always seemed to know where the animals would be and was able to predict their activities, allowing plenty of time for taking pictures. He picked me up at my Nairobi hotel and dropped me off at the elephant orphanage, which was very helpful. I had an amazing tour!

Benson arrived promptly at my hotel by 5:45am to pick me up for a half-day tour of Nairobi National Park while I was briefly in town. Benson has been guiding for 18 years, and so has accrued a lot of useful knowledge not only about the various animals/species/behaviors as you would expect, but also where the specific animals can be found within the park. This includes knowing the different prides and their territories within the park, where the hippos hangout, etc.. Knowing that I was very keen on taking some great photos, Benson always tried to position the vehicle as best he could, keeping in mind where the sun was so that I could photograph the animals. Luck seemed to be in my favor for the game drive - we started the morning off sighting a cheetah that seemed like he was ready to hunt some nearby prey, but wasn’t going in for the kill. We eventually moved on and discovered a pride of 4 lions (male, lioness and two cubs) with a fresh kill of a big buffalo about as close to the roadside as could be possible. By the end of the game drive, we had seen white rhinos, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, zebra, jackals, wildebeests and many other species of wildlife and various birds. Overall I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better game drive and would recommend Benson when in Kenya.

Benson did a great job showing us around Nairobi game park. He knew just where to take us to see different animals and birds. Among many others, we saw giraffes, zebras, rhinos and lions. The highlight was seeing several male lions up close as well as some female lions with their cubs. Benson was knowledgeable about the habits and character of each of the many animals and birds he showed us. He made us feel comfortable and safe. We would highly recommend him and will be recommending him to any friends that might be traveling to Kenya.

We had an unexpected layover in nairobi. So we decided to book a tour with benson. It turned out to be a great day. We could not believe what resources were so close to the city. We were able to see three of the five big animals in Africa so thank you benson.

Benson was an amazing guide and driver. We felt very safe. He knew exactly where to find the animals we were searching for and also has a wealth of knowledge about the birds and animals in the park. We had close up encounters with lions, crocs, rhinos, and so many other animals!

We had a wonderful time on our half day safari! Benson is fantastic, he knows all the animals and is good at finding them. The safari car we took was very nice and comfortable as well. Benson even let us borrow some binoculars! Thank you for a great experience!

Benson is a professional and knowledgeable guide with an excellent driving skills and very nice vehicle, I enjoyed the day today very much, and I would recommend him for anyone planing to visit Nairobi national park

Benson is an extremely knowledgeable and very personable guide. His expertise ensured our trip to the Nairobi National Park was a marvelous experience. We were thrilled to see so many different animals, many which we had not seen in Amboseli National Park. Benson was extremely generous with his time (exceeding the original half day tour) and our tour was a real highlight. Thanks Benson. Sharon, Anna & Geoff

Thanks to Benson for 1 day at Nairobi national park drive, we really enjoyed and i would recommend him as good and well trained person. Benson kindly keep the good work as future needs people like you.

Our recent trip to Nairobi National Park was a great family experience. We've used Benson in the past for other trips and have always found him to be professional, prompt, courteous and reasonably priced. On this trip we had an enjoyable day out and had the opportunity to see many great animals at the park. Benson was very knowledgable about the various wildlife and stopped as often as we asked to look and take pictures. We are very pleased with his services and will be using him in the future. We highly recommend him for trips like this and for any other need while in Nairobi.

Benson was an excellent guide for our park experience! He was very knowledgeable and knew all about the different animals in the park. He was patient and made sure we saw some of the big 5. I totally recommend him.

Our day started with Benson arriving early and so genuinely kind and helpful! He is very professional and made the whole group feel happy and at ease which is a talent as our group varied in age. His driving was very smooth and safe the entire day and he was consistently professional the entire time!! THE HIGHLIGHT: towards the end of the day, we had experienced everything we expected and more except lions, which was a hopeful must see. Long story-short, Benson strategized and made it happen by off roading and parking us at the right place at the right time!! An entire family wandered out of the tall grass litterally inches from our front bumper and calmly dissapeared into the tall grass on the other side. Amazing and majestic experience. I would highly recommend Benson and his crew to anyone and trust I will see him again in the future!

The visit to the national park was great Vincent is passionate about nature and it shows in all his explanations We had a wonderful time

Ben is an excellent guide, very friendly, reliable and knowledgeable. He has a lot of knowledge of the area. He is very flexible and can adapt his program perfectly to the group he is on the road with according to his own wishes.
