Unforgettable 3-days safari in the Masai Mara and Lake Naivasha
We did a 2 day safari in the Masai Mara with an extension to Lake Naivasha, and Wilfred made the whole experience exceptional.
He was professional and helpful from our very first contact, when we asked him for a quote for a 3-4 day safari. He organised everything down to the last detail and answered all our questions promptly before departure.
He found accommodation that matched our budget while still being well-kept and conveniently close to the park entrance. Behind the wheel he is excellent, confident and knowledgeable even in the less-travelled areas of the park.
The sightings were extraordinary: elephants less than two metres from the car, a leopard in the early hours of the morning, and lions on several occasions, including one moment when they were eating. Things we had never seen before.
Kind, always smiling, and someone who inspires trust from the very first moment. We will definitely contact him again for any future trip to Kenya.
Highly recommended.

Truly enjoyable experience
I found this day trip tour on safaribookings when I arrive at Nairobi the night before the tour start, what’s been impressive is that Wilfred answered my request immediately and organized the tour for us at the very last minute. We went to lake Nakuru under the guidance of Wilfred and completed the safari in a day, Wilfred is really friendly, knowledgeable and amazing, and we would highly recommend a tour with him if you would come to Nairobi.

Amazing Guide and great tour
We were very well guided around the giraffe center and the Sheldrick Elephant orphanage as well as a game drive through the Nairobi National Park on the way to catch our flight. Wilfred our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable on everything. Truly a great experience

He generously shares his extensive experience and knowledge.
We booked our game drive in Ol Pejeta with Willy, and he arrived right on time to pick us up from our apartment.
We thoroughly enjoyed the day and were especially impressed by his extensive knowledge and experience, which he shared with genuine enthusiasm. We have been travelling around Kenya for more than a week, but today we learned more about the wildlife than during the rest of our trip combined.
We already regret not booking more game drives with him. Even so, he was kind enough to give us helpful tips for our next destination in Kenya.
Thank you, Willy, for such a wonderful day. We highly recommend him to anyone.

Very nice guide with a lot of knowledge
Today we had the pleasure of meeting our guide, Willy, for the first time, and we only wish we had met him sooner. He offers personalized game drives at very reasonable prices. His knowledge of the local vegetation and the animals—their behavior in particular—is truly impressive. We had a wonderful time spending the entire day exploring with him, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional safari experience.

Wilfred was terrific!
Great value for money, cheaper than everyone else but great service. Great care while driving - very safe - lots of information shared, very responsive on the safari drive with a lot of great information. Will definitely use his service again.
Great tour and fantastic value!
Wilfred took us on a brilliant day trip to Ol Pejeta - he was absolutely determined for us to see all the animals we were keen for and made it interesting along the way. He gave great recommendations for lunch and was pleasant and professional at all times. Much recommended, thank you Wilfred!

Knowledgeable and friendly
A wonderful two‑day safari with The Real Shangololo in Amboseli National Park. We were exceptionally well taken care of throughout the trip. Our guide, Willy, drove safely along the very busy Mombasa Road and impressed us with his deep knowledge of the region, the wildlife, and the park’s ecosystem.
We stayed in a comfortable cabin where meals were served promptly and were absolutely delicious. Willy made sure we reached the perfect viewpoint to see Mount Kilimanjaro at sunrise, a breathtaking moment we’ll never forget.
During the game drives, we enjoyed close encounters with elephants, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and antelopes — truly spectacular sightings. This safari was memorable in every way and an experience we will cherish for a lifetime.
