How to choose the right Nairobi day trips and excursions

Short on time? Half day Nairobi day trips and excursions like the national park game drive or the giraffe and baby elephant tour fit around meetings and flights.

Have a full day? Head out to Hells Gate and Lake Naivasha for cycling and a boat ride, or to Lake Nakuru for rhinos and flamingos.

On the coast, Mombasa city tours, Shimba Hills and dhow cruises are easy add ons to a beach week.

Travelling with children? The giraffe centre and the elephant orphanage are the favourites. Book the orphanage slot early because visiting hours are fixed.

How to book your Nairobi day trips and excursions

Booking your Nairobi day trips and excursions with us takes about five minutes of your time. The rest is our job. Here is exactly what happens, step by step, so there are no surprises along the way.

  1. Send your dates. Message us on WhatsApp with your travel dates, how many people are coming and the ages of any children. Tell us if you have a budget in mind. We plan with it, not around it.
  2. Get a written quote. We reply with a clear price per person, what it includes and what it does not. No hidden park fees and no vague extras. If a cheaper camp or a shorter route makes more sense, we say so.
  3. Tweak it until it fits. Change a camp, add a night or swap a park. Ask as many questions as you like. Changes cost nothing until you confirm.
  4. Confirm with a deposit. A deposit holds your vehicle, guide and rooms. You get a written confirmation with every detail and the date the balance is due.
  5. Travel day. Your driver guide meets you at your hotel or the airport with a name board. You have their number and ours for the whole trip.

What every trip with us includes

Every Nairobi day trips and excursions plan we put together comes with the basics done properly. You ride in a safari vehicle with a pop up roof, with a professional driver guide who knows the parks. Water is in the cooler box, and park fees are sorted in advance so you do not stand in a queue at the gate.

We also stay reachable. If something changes on the road, a flat tyre, a closed route or a sudden storm, we sort it and keep you posted on WhatsApp.

Paying safely

We share payment details in writing only, and every payment gets a receipt. The payment options and the balance date sit on your written quote, so nothing is left to memory or a phone call.

Why book with a Nairobi team

We live here. We drive these roads all year, we know which camps are honest about their photos, and we know when a park is too busy to enjoy. That local knowledge is what turns a good Nairobi day trips and excursions into a great one. Our Google rating sits at 5.0 from 46 reviews, and we plan to keep it that way.

Ready when you are. Send us a message and we will put a plan together for you shortly.

Questions people ask

What is the best day trip from Nairobi?

Nairobi National Park is the classic. Lions, rhinos and giraffes with the city skyline behind them. Pair it with the giraffe centre and the elephant orphanage for a full day.

Do Nairobi day trips include hotel pick up?

Yes. We collect you from your Nairobi hotel or the airport and drop you back. Tell us your address when you book.

How much are Nairobi day trips and excursions?

Most half day trips cost USD 90 to 180 per person including the park fee, depending on group size. Full day trips to Naivasha or Nakuru cost more because of distance and fees.

Can I do a day trip on a layover?

Yes, if you have at least seven hours between flights. A morning in Nairobi National Park is the usual choice because the park is close to the airport.

Are these excursions good for children?

Yes. The giraffe centre, the elephant orphanage and a boat ride on Lake Naivasha are very popular with families.

Do you run excursions from Mombasa?

Yes. Mombasa old town, Fort Jesus, dhow cruises, Shimba Hills and Tsavo day trips all leave from the coast.

Still deciding? Tell us your dates, group size and budget. We suggest the best fit and send a clear price.
