Moses was my driver and guide. I found him to be well-informed, friendly, and helpful.
The Waterfalls and the Caves are main attractions. But walking through the forest with Moses' helpful explanations of the trees and greenery along with the need to preserve them were an important part of enjoying the tour.

I think the Falls and the Caves are the special attraction; and that proved to be true for me. I also enjoyed the walk and my guide's explanations of the greenery.

Great tour with a very knowledgeable and outgoing guide. I would highly recommend the tour, just don't bring any plastic water bottles.

We had an incredible hike around a nature park, visiting a waterfall and learning about native (and non-native!) plant species in the park. Especially on a hot day, being in the tree cover is a great way to experience nature in Nairobi. We were lucky enough to see an endangered colobus monkey swinging through the forest, as well as another species we didn’t identify.
We had an excellent set of drinks at the River Cafe and some great snacks as well. It’s a wonderful park and Moses is a great companion/guide on the tour.
