My son (13) did this tour with my Mom (65) during our stay at AKL. I didn’t go because there were only 2 spots left at our 60 day time. So book asap. Ben said he would recommend it and so did my Mom. So it’s great for a wide range of ages and is only 1 hour. And it’s all in a safari truck.

Pros:

Fairly accessible for a wide range of ages.

Cons:

Weather dependent.

This tour was the highlight of the trip for my husband and myself.

The night viewers are easy to use and it is really cool to see the animals interacting at night.

Our tour guide was AJ and she did a fantastic job explaining the lives of the animals and answering questions. The driver was so great too but unfortunately I forgot her name.

We went in December and unfortunately it was too cold for the giraffes to be out. So the tour guide arranged for us to go back stage in the giraffe barn!!! It was the coolest experience ever. They even had baby giraffes in there.

It was a small group so we didn't feel over crowded. Everyone got a glue in the dark safari pin at the end as well.

I cannot even begin to tell you how worth while this tour is.

Pros:

Everything! The animals, the guides and the whole experience.

Cons:

None.

We had dinner at the Sanaa restaurant at 5:45 and walked around the Kidani lodge until our 8:15PM check-in at the Sanaa reservation desk. Our guide Kristi greeted us and we all headed to the open air truck to get our night vision devices and start the tour. Laura was the driver and she and Kristi worked very well together getting us so close to the giraffes the we could touch them, but of course we didn't because that's not advised. Watching the zebras, okapi and ostriches feed and just experiencing night in the savanna with animals roaming about was indescribable. These animals are active at night in the cool air and this whole experience was well worth the cost and time.

Pros:

small group, unique and personal experience with knowledgeable guide

Cons:

none

Great personalized evening safari. We were right up next to the giraffes..... almost could touch them. Wish it was longer

Pros:

Only one other family in the Jeep with us. Easy conversation with our tour guide. Up close to the animals

Cons:

Not long enough
