Best operator in Kenya
Our guide in Kenya was absolutely amazing. He accompanied us throughout the experience with so much care, professionalism, and kindness. He explained everything clearly, shared interesting stories and insights, and made us feel comfortable at all times. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy beautiful and unforgettable experiences in such a wonderful country. Kenya is truly a special place, and having such a great guide made the trip even more meaningful. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience in a few days
If you manage to tick off almost the entire Nairobi excursion menu in just a few days, you’re either running a military operation… or you’re traveling with Ernest from Mwalim Tours. Luckily, we had the second option.
From the very first moment, it felt like exploring Kenya with a friend who just happens to know everything about wildlife, culture, history, and the smartest routes to avoid traffic. Ernest organizes, adjusts, anticipates, and stays endlessly friendly throughout. No stress, no rush — yet every day packed with unforgettable experiences.
We did, among others:
Nairobi National Park at sunrise (lions, rhinos — the full show)
David Sheldrick with the baby elephants
Giraffe Centre & Karen Blixen Museum
Bomas of Kenya
And all of that in just a few days, without it ever feeling rushed. Ernest knows exactly how to structure a day so you see a lot while still enjoying a relaxed pace. He’s always on time, drives safely, shares great stories along the way, and makes sure you’re in the right place at the right moment.
In short:
A fantastic experience. If you want to truly discover Nairobi and its surroundings, book with Mwalim Tours and ask for Ernest. Thanks to him, we saw and experienced far more than we ever expected. A top guide and a top human being.
“Ernest is a knowledgeable, respectful safari guide & skilled driver, highly recommend!”
I had an outstanding safari experience with Ernest as my guide. His deep knowledge of the different species made every sighting fascinating, and I truly appreciated how he knew exactly when to step back to respect the animals’ space. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to capture beautiful photos of many animals even though it wasn’t the peak season.
Ernest is also a highly skilled driver, navigating the terrain with confidence and care, which made the journey both safe and enjoyable. His professionalism, respect for nature, and ability to create memorable moments make him an exceptional guide.
I strongly recommend Ernest to anyone planning a safari. I cannot wait to return with my family, and I will definitely ask for Ernest to guide us again!

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!

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.

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!
