Excellent! Many animals grazing and enjoying our time with them.
Elida Tours is always there when you need them. On time with answers to all your questions. Every game drive, every stay at the Elida Tours guest house is excellent. The game drives always had something different and very good from game drive to game drive. Elida Tours will provide all your driving needs while in Kenya.

Kenya experience with David and Tim was exceptional beyond description!
David of Elida Tours arranged a safari tour to the Masai Mara for myself and other church mission team members in July, and it was extraordinary. The lodging and food at Base Camp resort was outstanding, and the game drives with Tim, our driver, were magnificent. Tim is exceedingly knowledgeable about Kenyan wildlife, vegetation, and culture, and he went out of his way to give us the very best experience possible. After our mission trip I spent additional time in Nairobi with family who came to meet up with me, and David and Tim again assisted me there, providing rides to and from the airport for myself and family, and also a tour through the Nairobi National Park, again an exceptional experience. Elida Tours & Safaris and David and Tim made our time in Africa more wonderful than we had imagined was possible, and at a very reasonable and affordable price. Without question, I would use Elida Tours again for future travel.

Excellent service! Elida Tours and Safaris were our guides to Lake Nakuru National Park and Nairobi
David and his team do wonderful work. Elida Tours and Safaris served as our guides to Lake Nakuru National Park and around Nairobi. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and dependable. They have served the needs of our teams for many years. I highly recommend Elida Tours and Safaris for anyone traveling to this area. David always provides great service with a smile!

Excellent service and care
We had a fantastic time in Kenya with David and his trustworthy team. We were able to easily arrange our trips several months ahead of time with email and once we arrived on the ground they were in constant contact via whastap and mobile. We had a fantastic day trip to the Nairobi National Park as well as the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. Both trips exceeded our expectations and we were able to witness so many animals and beautiful scenery. David also personally escorted us on a long trip to the Kario Valley near Eldoret where we stayed several days. All in all I would easily recommend David and his team for all of your needs while in Kenya.
David and staff anticipated and met every need. Excellent service!
The drivers were able to quickly get our group to locations where animals were located. Had a great experience viewing a lion many others. Efficiency, knowledge and familiarity with Nakuru was key to making our experience special.

Masai Mara - short safari one evening; then full day (12 hr) safari next day
David arranged the most fantastic safari in Masai Mara, working around our schedule.
Our driver, Tim, picked us up in Nairobi on a Monday evening, overnight at a lovely hotel (can't remember the name) and headed off Tuesday morning for Masai Mara. It's a terrible road as you get nearer to the park, but Elida Tours has no control over that. It was a full day drive, stopping at a couple of "markets", arriving at Sopa Lodge mid afternoon. Tim took us on a short safari (about 2 hrs) and we were excited to see lots of animals, including 3 lions.
But the next day was INCREDIBLE! Tim seemed to know the best places to find animals! We saw everything (except rhino, which are hard to find in Masai Mara). We got "up close and personal" with lions, elephants, giraffe, ostrich, baboons, wildebeest, zebras... We saw 2 lions mating, hyenas and vultures fighting over a dead wildebeest, a leopard lounging in a tree, cheetahs lying in the shade, hippos sleeping on a sandbar, monkeys, jackals, cape buffalo, eland, topee, gazelle, hartebeest, warthog, mongoose, water buck, bushbuck, a crocodile and lots of beautiful birds.
I can't say enough about Tim... he was a fantastic guide! He knew the park inside out and gave us the best experience ever. It rained the night before we left and the road out of the area is terrible anyways, so with rain it was even worse... so many safari vehicles got stuck but not Tim... he got us through the most impassable roads!
I would highly recommend Elida Tours and David, and especially Tim!
