Good value for a good price.
This safari was a wonderful experience. I had not searched for comfort and luxury but rather professional adventure guidance over the wild fauna in Amboseli. That is exactly what i got and even more. My guide Ernest was experienced, very helpful and competent, he spotted the animals right away and could identify them all. He taught me as well with a field guide about the animals behaviours and a bit of their ecology. It was so interesting. Ernest kindly searched for the best places where i could take pictures and patiently waited for me to try different shots. Thank you very much for this lifetime memory!

Posted on Nov 8, 2026Dear Claudia,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and kind words. It was truly a pleasure guiding you through Amboseli and sharing my knowledge of the wildlife, animal behaviour, and ecology.
I'm delighted that you enjoyed the adventure and had the opportunity to capture some beautiful photographs. Your appreciation means a lot to me and motivates me to keep sharing the beauty of Kenya's wilderness with others.
Thank you for choosing Mwalim Tours and Safaris. I hope this safari remains a special lifetime memory, and I look forward to welcoming you again for another adventure in Kenya.
Warm regards,
Ernest

Very responsive to our requests
Our guide listened to our interests and made sure to focus on these things (for us it was bird-watching). He was very prompt and friendly but didn’t make us feel we needed to interact with him constantly. He was very responsive to what we wanted to do and predicted well what would interest us. We were very happy with his manner, friendliness and professionalism.

Fantastic trip - book Sheldrick tickets ahead
This was an excellent tour! Ernest was a great driver and guide! He’s really great at spotting birds we’d never have noticed as well as showing us bigger animals too! However it was not clear from the tour language that you need to get Sheldrick tickets in advance. I would recommend buying the national park pass ahead of time, it was a pain to do in line. And with Sheldrick you need to reserve tickets at least 2 days in advance, which we didn’t know. Luckily Ernest still got us in which was much appreciated! Giraffe tickets are no problem to get day of. Overall amazing tour! Just get national park and Sheldrick tickets in advance and you’ll have a smooth day! A fabulous way to spend a day in Nairobi!

Informative and flexible, giving the best experience
Lawrence was a fantastic guide and made my short time in Nairobi incredibly memorable. He picked me up promptly from my hotel and was friendly, knowledgeable and informative throughout, explaining what we were seeing as we made our way around Nairobi National Park.
What really stood out was how determined he was to make sure I had the best experience possible. When he heard there were lions nearby, he wasted no time getting us there – and we arrived to see them with a fresh kill, which was an incredible experience!
He also managed the day brilliantly, making sure we saw as much as possible in the park while still getting me to the elephant sanctuary on time. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and he clearly knows the park extremely well.
If you’re looking for a guide in Nairobi who is knowledgeable, reliable and genuinely wants you to have an amazing experience, I’d absolutely recommend Lawrence. Thank you for a brilliant day!

Reliable, professional, and genuinely went above and beyond to make my trip unforgettable
I had an amazing experience with Mwalim Tours and Safaris, and a big part of that was thanks to our tour guide, Ernest.
From the very beginning, Ernest was professional, reliable, patient, and incredibly accommodating. He made communication easy and ensured everything went smoothly throughout my stay. He didn’t just take me from one destination to another, he made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.
He took me on an unforgettable safari, to Carnivore Restaurant, Village Market, and several other shopping centres, making sure I got to experience the best of Nairobi at my own pace. He was always punctual, knowledgeable, and happy to adjust plans whenever needed, which made me feel comfortable and well looked after.
The service was excellent and offered great value for money. If you’re looking for a trustworthy tour company with a guide who genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Mwalim Tours and Safaris. Thank you, Ernest, for making my trip to Kenya one I’ll always remember. I hope to visit again soon!

Extraordinary Safari trip to Nakuru lake
Our experience to the Lake Nakuru and Lake Elmenteita was incredibly beautiful and amusing. It included viewing of wildlife, birdlife, and relaxing lake views into one unforgettable trip.
Experience: At Lake Nakuru, the game drive offered sightings of Lion, rhinos, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, variety of birds, and super wildlife.
Unfortunately, we could not see the flamingos, but our driver and guide insisted that we should see them so on our way back to Nairobi, we stopped at Lake Elmenteita where we found the beautiful flamingos 🙏❤️
Admission fee: Park entry fees were reasonable and justified by the quality of wildlife and scenic experiences offered.
Length of visit: one day trip is ideal, allowing enough time to enjoy both parks without any rush.
Staff: our guide Ernest was very friendly and knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip.
Highly recommended for: Nature lovers, photographers, bird watchers, couples, and families looking for a short but diverse safari experience.

Responding to special preferences, very competent and empathic, a real pleasure
I saw many interesting birds and my guide knew them all and shared interesting fun facts about their biology. He gave me the time needed to make observations and relate to the place. It was a very entertaining and educational experience, unforgetable!
