Third time we have used Elida Tours. David is great, met us at airport, arrange safari, hotels and all transportation in Kenya.

We have used Elida Tours and David for several years. He is really helpful with hotel bookings, transport, game drives (safaris).

I have been using Elida for some time for transportation around Nairobi! The team is friendly, reliable and extremely helpful!

We travel through Nairobi annually and rely on David and his team to provide our transportation. His vehicles are comfortable and well maintained.

We had such a good experience with David and Moses on our Kilimanjaro trip that we came back and sought their assistance for a self drive we did across Kenya and Uganda.
