Highly recommended tour and guide! - I was on this half-day trip with Benson Kungu early in April 2024. Benson is a very nice and experienced guide who knows the area very well. He has a huge knowledge about the animals in the park. Safe driver. Tour is highly recommended!

Great tour - Everything was great including on time pick up and a clean/well maintained van. It was a rainy season and the weather wasn't great, and the tour was supposed to be for 5 hours in the park. But Benson actually spent more time to make sure I saw every possible animal. Highly recommended.

Transformative safari trip - Benson is so knowledgeable about the animals, and very attentive to needs and interests. Benson always seemed to know where the animals would be and was able to predict their activities, allowing plenty of time for taking pictures. He picked me up at my Nairobi hotel and dropped me off at the elephant orphanage, which was very helpful. I had an amazing tour!

An Amazing Game Drive - Benson arrived promptly at my hotel by 5:45am to pick me up for a half-day tour of Nairobi National Park while I was briefly in town. Benson has been guiding for 18 years, and so has accrued a lot of useful knowledge not only about the various animals/species/behaviors as you would expect, but also where the specific animals can be found within the park. This includes knowing the different prides and their territories within the park, where the hippos hangout, etc.. Knowing that I was very keen on taking some great photos, Benson always tried to position the vehicle as best he could, keeping in mind where the sun was so that I could photograph the animals. Luck seemed to be in my favor for the game drive - we started the morning off sighting a cheetah that seemed like he was ready to hunt some nearby prey, but wasn’t going in for the kill. We eventually moved on and discovered a pride of 4 lions (male, lioness and two cubs) with a fresh kill of a big buffalo about as close to the roadside as could be possible. By the end of the game drive, we had seen white rhinos, buffalo, giraffes, hippos, zebra, jackals, wildebeests and many other species of wildlife and various birds. Overall I don’t think I could’ve asked for a better game drive and would recommend Benson when in Kenya.

Great experience at Nairobi game park. - Benson did a great job showing us around Nairobi game park. He knew just where to take us to see different animals and birds. Among many others, we saw giraffes, zebras, rhinos and lions. The highlight was seeing several male lions up close as well as some female lions with their cubs. Benson was knowledgeable about the habits and character of each of the many animals and birds he showed us. He made us feel comfortable and safe. We would highly recommend him and will be recommending him to any friends that might be traveling to Kenya.

Great experience in Nairobi National Park - We had an unexpected layover in nairobi. So we decided to book a tour with benson. It turned out to be a great day. We could not believe what resources were so close to the city. We were able to see three of the five big animals in Africa so thank you benson.

Great farewell to our Kenyan trip!! - Benson is an extremely knowledgeable and very personable guide. His expertise ensured our trip to the Nairobi National Park was a marvelous experience. We were thrilled to see so many different animals, many which we had not seen in Amboseli National Park. Benson was extremely generous with his time (exceeding the original half day tour) and our tour was a real highlight. Thanks Benson. Sharon, Anna & Geoff
