It was my father’s surprise 80th birthday and I was making arrangements from the U.S. for a group of 14 for a Safari Day in Nairobi. James was recommended by my Aunt and when she says, “I’ve got a guy”, you know you’re set. And that was the case. James and I set up my vision for the day via WhatsApp and he streamlined purchasing all of the tickets needed. He helped me arrange the birthday lunch, including a cake. And he and his guide were on time for our excursion. Itinerary for 14: 5:30/6am pickup (be a little flexible but aim to get to the park early enough to see the animals possibly feeding or before the heat of the day) Have coffee and snacks in the vehicle transfer. 6:30am/7: Arrive at Nairobi National Park and there will be others there as well, including the Masai who greet the visitors. Once you’re through the tickets - which James handled, we were off to our Safari game drive. James and our guide were knowledgeable and they are great with the kids. We followed our game drive with the Elephant Orphanage. James made sure that we were there in time (11am start) to be in place to see those elephants run out - especially the babies!!! Birthday Lunch at the Masai Restaurant and bc our cake was late - he arranged with the owner for the dancers to make it extra special at now additional cost to us. We closed the day with feeding the Giraffes at the Giraffe Center. I wanted it all and thanks to James - we did it! 14 people, 2 Open Air Landcruisers, some wild vehicle and animal adventures (the great Baboon heists of Nairobi National Park), one surprised and happy Grandpa/Dad later and a delighted big group with memories for a lifetime!!!

Itinerary
After the opened game viewer Safari in Nairobi Park and enjoy a stop at Maasai Market Collections, where they can browse authentic beadwork, jewelry, and crafts adding a cultural touch to the Wildlife Adventure.
A safari in Nairobi National Park aboard an open game viewer Land Cruiser is a vivid adventure that blends raw wilderness with the city’s skyline. As the vehicle rolls across dusty tracks, the open sides let you breathe in the crisp morning air and hear the calls of birds overhead. You might spot lions basking in the early sun, giraffes stretching above the acacia trees, and zebras grazing in neat herds. The Land Cruiser’s elevated seats give you sweeping views, perfect for photographing rhinos near watering holes or buffalo moving in powerful herds. What makes it truly unique is the surreal backdrop—skyscrapers rising beyond the savannah—reminding you that this is the only national park on the edge of a capital city. Every turn brings a new surprise, from cheetahs sprinting across the plains to hippos wallowing in rivers, making the safari both thrilling and unforgettable.

We had an amazing game drive experience! Our guide was knowledgeable, professional, and had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife. They shared interesting facts about the animals and made the trip both exciting and educational. We never felt rushed, and they ensured everyone had great views and opportunities for photos. Their friendliness and passion for wildlife truly made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this game drive to anyone looking for an enjoyable and memorable safari adventure!

Most Fantastic Tour , I liked the guides knowledgeable
The Safari was very memorable. The guides very friendly ...
Taking Gamedrive with Jimfire proved to be one of the wonderful events that one will live to remember. The Tour guide himself seems to be wealthy in park information as a whole eg in pointing out different animals with scientific names was excellen in addition to creation of interactive exciting sessions with clients. We miss having similar tour experience in future 'hongera'
Had an amazing time at Nairobi National Park with Jimfire Safaris👌 . It’s wild seeing lions and rhinos with the city skyscrapers in the background.... truly a one of a kind experience🙏‼️ . The team was professional, on time, and our guide was a pro at spotting the animals we really wanted to see. If you're in Nairobi and want a solid, hassle-free game drive, definitely book with Jimfire. Highly recommended!!! ☺️
Jimmy is an excellent professional tour guide, He left us with unforgettable safari Memories. His insights on scientific names of animals was top notch.....
Jim is the perfect tour guide if you are looking beyond tourist attractions and want to also learn Kenyan culture. Traveling with him changes the whole experience. Nothing feels rushed or surface-level. He breaks things down clearly, gives context you wouldn’t get on your own, and makes sure you actually understand what you’re seeing. He brings you close enough to feel the moment, not just observe it. On top of that, he captures the experience properly. The photos came out great, but more than that, he nudged us to take as many great photos and more memories.
It's wonderful to travel with this man. He explains everything. He shows everything in detail. He even brings you close to the animals. He tells you everything, from his age to how long he's been there and which country he's in.
It’s greatest moment ever with james our driver he was so good to us
We had the best experience at the national park, elephant orphanage center and giraffe center
Very good guide, kind, takes photos, and takes their time during the tour. Provides explanations. I recommend
