5.00Ernest was an excellent tour guide! Even driving through Nairobi before we got to the park he was pointing out birds! He has an encyclopedic knowledge of animals and was brimming with interesting facts! My traveling companion needed extra assistance and he was so patient and kind. The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust was fun and moving and their conservation is so important and effective. The Giraffe Center was equally delightful and again, Ernest provides animal education with such enthusiasm! We only had a very short time for adventure after a conference ended and wanted to make the most of it and we absolutely did with this tour! It's worth waking up early for! Highly recommend booking a tour with Ernest!
A great experience!

5.00Ernest was an amazing guide! He was punctual, professional, extremely knowledgeable, and had amazing skills for spotting animals and birds. The game drive was incredible including a magical encounter with a pack of 7 lions, as well as white rhinos, black rhino, and so much more. I had no idea how big Nairobi National Park is and how many animals there are there. The elephant orphanage and giraffe center were so special and interactive. We had a truly amazing, unforgettable day. So glad we got to go with Ernest as we had booked last minute.
Best experience ever
