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.
Excellent tour and tour guide

5.00We took a guided game drive, which I’d highly recommend. Our guide Lawrence was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the animals, as well as share interesting facts about them and the park’s ecosystem. The drive was smooth, and the vehicle was open-roof—perfect for photos and panoramic views.

5.00Our tour with Lawrence was nothing short of exceptional—his deep knowledge, warm personality, and seamless coordination made every stop unforgettable. Nairobi National Park offered a thrilling safari experience just minutes from the city, where we spotted lions, giraffes, and rhinos against a stunning skyline backdrop. At the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Lawrence’s insights into elephant conservation added depth to our visit, making the hour feel both heartwarming and educational. The Giraffe Centre was a delightful finale, where feeding the gentle giants up close was a magical moment. Lawrence’s passion for wildlife and his engaging storytelling truly elevated the entire experience.
