Joel, my tour guide, who picked me up early to start the journey, was super professional at all times, patient and apart from giving me tips for my next visit to Kenya, took the time to explained everything with detailed as only a person who is an expert and loves what he does can do, thank you very much, Joel. The Nairobi NP was beautiful surprise, I loved to see the animals wild and free close to the city, then, we visited the little baby elephants, seeing them running to get their milk and play in the mud, was just perfect, and to end the tour, after having lunch in a local restaurant, we visited the Karen Blixen museum, a paradise close to the city.  Hide review
