A unique interesting activity combining a walk tour and watching wildlife, its the only park without carnivores and this allows freedom of walking around and one can take a bike for hire and roam around the park.Breath taking views and landscape. The Guide has interesting stories about the region in connection with the maasai community. Relax in the beautiful gardens, which are maintained by their wildlife visitors – the lawns are trimmed by the hippo and zebra that graze here; the trees are pruned by giraffe; and the colobus monkeys enjoy breaking off the dead wood. More than 200 species of birds have been recorded in and around Elsamere. Cruising on Lake Naivasha. When you'll spot many species of waterfowl and brilliantly coloured kingfishers. (Lake Naivasha is home to the largest waterfowl population in Kenya).

We planned a 6 day safari trip and Simon really helped us to make it the best planned trip yet! Unfortunately, we had to cancel our trip and weren’t able to go. Simon and his team were extremely accommodating and made sure we got a refund for our deposit. We look forward to rebooking our trip with him soon!

I had never been on safari before and thought I would explore options-i was traveling alone and feared it might be too expensive but I found Direct Kenya safaris. Mr Nduso got back to me very quickly with a seven day trip including stops at amboseli,lake Nakuru and Masai Mara national parks. His quote was very reasonable and immediately booked -and I can assure everyone that my reward was a top notch trip in every way. The accommodation was great, meals were always good. The trip always involved long distances between the parks but the driver/guide Ibrahim is a superb and careful driver who made great time and was a great company as well. Every day and in every way this trip exceeded my expectations. It was really an exceptional experience.

People should know that the elephant orphanage has been closed for a year. This fact isn't mentionned on the advertisement. You also have to pay extra if you want to be dropped of at the airport. In the end, you pay 50 USD for a ride to the museum and the Giraffe Center. The company should clearly inform clients that the elephant orphanage is closed and adapt the price of the trip, or think about another activity to offer to clients.

i booked a 5 days Mombasa holiday tour with my two sons. they gave us a vacation that met all our expectations. we were booked at Sai rock beach hotel where we could easily access the beach. we took part of every beach activities including boat rides, jet rides, camel ride and swimming. leisurely walking along the beach especially in the evening was a very relaxing nature activity. watching the ocean waves movements at the Kenyan coast provided a very quite time of unwinding and meditation. it was simply therapeutical! I still feel refreshed whenever i recall the experience. we got a glimpse of ship coming and leaving at the famous Mama Ngina drive spot. we visited all the historic sites including the Fort Jesus, experienced the nature trails at Haller park, the Mamba village(my son cant forget the way the Crocdiles fought each other during feeding time). Swahili dishes were mouth watering especially pilau and chicken biryani. we had a day set for walking downtown and we took photos at the famous tusks and later we were dropped at masai market to do some shopping. everything went as per our itineraries and am looking forward to visit another kenya holiday destination with jalini
