“What a fantastic day from start to finish. Sam was a great guide and driver offering so much information about Nairobi, the elephants and giraffes. He made sure we got front row spots for the elephants and took pictures for us with the giraffes. He brought us to a great Kenyan place for food and explained what all the items were. Highly recommend this tour”
