5.00Our safari was one of a lifetime, Lawrence did all it takes to makes us feel at home and get the best up close with the animals. Lawrence was knowledgeable about the history and animals, he was concerned about everything we needed to know and to have. From the day we did our booking from Jamaica untill we got to Nairobi,he was very concerned and everything went on as he promised. Highly recommend Sherman explorers.
