Nairobi
Before beginning your safari, we recommend that you take some time to explore the Kenyan capital.
We offer half-day or day tours and meals at different eateries in the city, like the famous ‘Carnivore’ restaurant or the well-known ‘Alan Bobbe’s Bistro’ before dropping you back at your hotel.
As detailed below we offer two excursions in Nairobi which
each last a day.

Opposite the national museum is Snake Park, whose vivariums contain most of the snakes, lizards, tortoises and crocodiles found in Kenya.
South West Nairobi
