This day trip allowed me to enjoy the amazing African wild life without needing to travel out from Nairobi. Our wonderful driver and guide Douglas made our day memorable, relaxed... read more and emotional. It is wise to start the day early (at 6) to avoid morning rush and increase the chance to see animals before the heat hits in. We were fortunate to see 4 out of 5 of the epic African Big Five. We only missed the leopard who moves alone and is smart to avoid visitors in the vast area of the park. We were tempted to expand the Big Five to Big 8 or 9 or 10 as we saw many other wonderful animals in the wild from a safe distance from our safari jeep. For lunch Douglas took us to The Golden Eagle, a quiet place with African art and souvenirs and a lunch place where we could enjoy Kenyan food for affordable prices. We also visited the Kobe Tough to observe women at work making handmade ceramic beads. This was an emotional and friendly meetup with local people at work, singing and dancing. Thank you Douglas for safe driving and memorable insights of people and life in Kenya.
