We had an incredible safari with Nesh Tours & Safaris. Joan helped us plan Nairobi National Park, Lake Nakuru and the Maasai Mara and was very quick to respond whenever we had questions. Everything was clearly explained, including the pricing. Brian was a safe and professional driver and the vehicle was comfortable throughout the safari. Excellent experience from beginning end.

We had one free day in Nairobi and Joseph helped organize a Nairobi National Park game drive for us. I couldn't believe we were seeing giraffes and rhinos so close to the city. Everything was arranged quickly and professionally.

Lake Nakuru was probably the surprise of our trip. We originally focused on Maasai Mara, but Joan recommended adding Nakuru and we're glad we listened. Beautiful scenery and great wildlife viewing.
