    Our guide Lewis was excellent, very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and energetic! We were able to have a relaxing yet invigorating hike through different parts of the park including different forested areas, the caves and falls, and the lilly pond area. We were able to see many of the animals the preserve is known for, some of them up close. We learned a lot about the flora and fauna of the area. The guide was helpful, pleasant and engaging. A very enjoyable experience; we were glad we had taken it! One note: for some reason our ticket had a meet-up/pickup place on it that was incorrect (Kimathi St/Hilton); the correct location was Gate C of the park.

    This was a very worthwhile experience, Richard and Lewis were very kind. Lewis was very patient and always made sure I was ok. The park is very worthwhile, it has some animals that you can see in their natural habitat such as butterflies, birds and some monkeys. Views were amazing. It was just what I needed to disconnect from work and Nairobi traffic. I highly recommend doing this tour and as an additional tip, it's a good idea to bring a sun hat, a light jacket in case it rains and to hydrate yourself properly. Thank you!

    I did Karura Forest, Carnivore restaurant and the Giraffe Centre then the trail at the Giraffe Centre. What a day. Picked up on time and had two great guides Martin and Nadesh and the Lewis at Karura. Had a great time, lovely staff and a great laugh with them all. Really special day that won’t be forgotten
