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!

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!

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.

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!

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,
