Excellent guide Ernest

5.00I decided to go pretty much spontaneously, the day I came to Nairobi. And Ernest was ready to make everything happen for me — he was very attentive and responded well to my wishes. Of course it does not fully depend on the guide whether the tourists see everything during the safari, but your trip was half-pure luck and half-dedication and professionalism, because I could see a lion, a family of rhinos, hippos, giraffes, buffalos, many different birds and a lot of other animals. Ernest also told me about all of them, calling them by names and outlining their habits. It was super pleasant and really educational!
45 bird species in half a day, wow

5.00My guide Ernest Gichuki was available ad-hoc. He considered my deep interest in birds, brought me to the right places, shared with me interesting details about the wild life in Kenia and provided expertise about animals and birds and shared with me the names of all birds we have seen. It was an extraordinary experience with more than 45 bird species seen in half a day.
Well organized fun day

5.00Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife and conservation. They went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible sightings, while also making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. We saw an amazing variety of animals up close, and the guide’s explanations made the experience both exciting and educational.The safari vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the itinerary was perfectly paced—allowing plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and fully immerse ourselves in the experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a well-planned, authentic, and unforgettable tours and safaris experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again!

5.00The day started all well ... everything was easy since Earnest had made prior payments,we didn't have to wait on the payment lines. He seemed well versed with the parked from the onset. This helped us spot almost all the big fives in Nairobi national park. By the time we were setting back everyone was impressed. I would recommend Earnest anytime ....game drive ain't just about driving. You need a driver who couples as a guide . Earnest is exactly that!
