Lovely safari, well organized and budget price
Just came back from a wonderful 3 day Safari to Ngrorongoro Crater and Serengeti with Best Day Safari. Peter, the manager, was incredible helpful throughout the organization. He replied to all our questions (believe me there were a lot of emails!) and was extremely flexible to adapt to what we wanted and even making last minute changes.
The safari vehicle was super comfy and our guide Louis was a great driver. The accommodation selected was perfect and just as described. Overall the safari was perfect, everything had already been previously organized by Peter so we just had to relax and enjoy.
Maybe one suggestion; we were told as we were heading back the second day from Serengeti that we were doing a "morning drive" which turned out to be just driving 40 minutes from our lodge to the gates, not an actual game drive. We were a bit disappointed since we were expecting some extra time in Serengeti not a free afternoon in Arusha. Nevertheless, a great safari, would totally recommend it.

Very good!
I had long wanted to go to Ethiopia. I decided in 2013 that I would go in 2015. And stating in 2014, I decided to try and find the best travel company that had a relationship with Ethiopia and East Africa. I contacted several programs but I was not satisfied. And then an African friend suggested that I contact a man by the name of Malicha Dida and his company, 'Horizon Africa Safari' and from that point on I underwent a life changing adventure when I went to Ethiopia and other parts of East Africa.
I am a world traveler just returning this year (only a week or so) from Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Russia and The Czech Republic. I have visited countries such as China, Japan, India, Germany, Britain, Peru, Egypt (4 times), Turkey, Ireland (twice) Nepal, Ghana, Korea, and many other countries but my Ethiopian and East Africa adventure remains my favorite trip.
As a result of my unforgettable trip to Ethiopia and East Africa in 2015, I am planning another trip to Ethiopia again in 2017!

The most convenient safari in Kenya
If you are in Nairobi and have a free morning, there's no excuse not to visit this great park.
Just a few minutes from downtown Nairobi, this park offers sightings of lions, black rhino, zebras, giraffes, cape buffalo, wildebeest, hippos, ostrich, and more. The park is small when compared to other destinations in Kenya, so you won't see elephants roaming around (co-located with the park is an elephant orphanage that is highly recommended). Purchase your ticket at the front gate off of Langata Road. When I visited, the non-resident rate was USD 60 per person. There is a minor charge for your vehicle if you self-drive.
Many companies offer guided tours around the park, and this might be your best bet to maximize your chances of seeing lots of animals. I opted to skip the guide and driver and drove myself around the park. It is easy to get around and there are plenty of signs. With Nairobi's skyline to the north of the park visible from much of the area, it's easy to keep your bearings. The park is fenced on the north side to keep the animals from roaming into downtown. The roads can be very rough far into the park -- I would highly recommend a high clearance vehicle if you opt to drive yourself, and do so slowly. Make sure you have a good condition spare tire, jack, and tire iron just in case those rough roads result in a flat tire. I was glad I had mine handy.
Wildlife density in this park may not be what it is in some other Kenyan parks, but I was satisfied with my morning game drive. I saw two lions right away after entering on the western side of the park. On the day I visited, the eastern part of the park seemed to have more zebra and giraffes than the western part. Wildebeest, cape buffalo, various kinds of deer, impala, eland, and ostrich were plentiful throughout the park. I had a brief sighting of a black rhino before it moved out of sight. Even without a guide, I was happy with my experience and animal sightings.
Bring snacks, plenty of water, and most importantly your camera - you'll need it.
Kenya has a ton of safari opportunities that will beat Nairobi National Park when it comes to wildlife, scenic beauty, and bush vibe. However, the close proximity of this park to Nairobi and the ease of access make it a great option for anyone spending a day or two (or even a few hours) in the city. As a new resident of Nairobi, I see myself returning to this park monthly.
