My Feb 2025 trip
Kenya between 7 Feb 2025 and 18 Feb 2025
"This is the best trip in my life. We love everything about it. The itinerary was great. All the guides and staffs were super friendly. Game drive was very tiring, so it was nice that we had two days in the middle of our trip to take a break and enjoy the elephant orphanage and giraffe manor instead."

Lake Naivasha boat ride and Crescent Island walk
"Lake Naivasha boat ride and Crescent Island walk review"
10 Feb 2025 • Afternoon excursion
It was a fun experience but it was too hot to do the island walk at 3pm. Highly recommend to ask for a guide once you get on the island. We didn't, luckily we ran into a park ranger (Patrick) who was super nice and helped us to find our ways and call the boat for us. Without him, we will be lost.
Lake Nakuru Safari
"Lake Nakuru Safari review"
11 Feb 2025 • All-day excursion
It was great but spent more than half day doing safari in the park was very tiring. We loved the waterfall spot that Stanley took us for our box lunch time.

Super fun experience. We were able to touch the baby elephants. This is one of the highlights of our trip.
Safari in Nairobi National Park
"Safari in Nairobi National Park review"
12 Feb 2025 • All-day excursion
We saw a lot of rhinos here. Unfortunately, the game drive was a bit short because we had to get to elephant orphanage by 11am. It would be nice to spend a bit longer time in the park.

"The room is super nice. Staffs are very friendly. Game drives are great. The only thing I have complaint is that they didn't know about my birthday which is very weird because other hotels during this trip all did celebrations for me."

Kobe Tough, Ocean Sole and Cultiva Dinner - Nairobi
"Kobe Tough, Ocean Sole and Cultiva Dinner - Nairobi review"
17 Feb 2025 • Afternoon excursion
Both places were fun to visit, but Ocean Sole was a very short visit. We were only there for about 15-20 mins and already covered the touring and shopping. It will be nice to combine the visit if there are some other things to see close by. Cultivia dinner was closed on Monday, so we ended up going to Karen Blixen Coffee Garden & Cottages per the suggestion from our guide. We highly recommend this place. We also visited Utamanduni craft centre which was suggested by our guide in Masai Mara. It was a great place to buy souvenirs. We highly recommend for visitors like us who were trying to kill time while waiting for the late night flight. This is a good spot to visit in Nairobi.
