Summary:
Amazing experience. Our tour guides Jaffar and Harrison were wonderful and very knowledgeable. They were also prepared and planned us a visit to a beads factory where we learned about how beads were made and designed. We also visited the giraffe centre and Nairobi National Park. There was no wait time
