Very pleased to recommend Willy to anyone wishing to visit Nairobi National Park. I was in Nairobi for 12 hours on a flight layover, and Willy very kindly picked me up and dropped me off at the airport after our half-day trip, which made it extremely easy and convenient.

Willy was an excellent communicator and made organising the trip easy. He has excellent knowledge of the park, the wildlife, and is highly trained. He made a great effort to ensure I saw as much wildlife as possible and really maximising the time I was there. His prices are excellent and would highly recommend!

Wily is a wonderful and helpful guide who makes your experience fantastic. We loved sharing the whole trip with him, and he takes you to see each and every animal with respect. I've already sent several groups of friends, and they've all been delighted! I highly recommend him! A true professional.
I've heard that Willy started this agency! What a great guy and such a professional. He organized an amazing trip for my friends and me. I wish him all the best. 100% reliable!

Wonderful experience with Willy! 👏
This was my second time going on a safari in Nairobi National Park with Willy, and once again, it was amazing. He’s very accommodating, knows his work well, and has incredible knowledge of the park — he shared every detail about its wildlife and landscapes. Both times, we managed to see all the Big Five in just a half-day trip! His prices are much more reasonable than others. Highly recommended — best experience with him!

I met Willy several years ago, when he had just started his business, and since then he’s become my go-to person every time I travel to Kenya. Over the years, he’s taken me on several safaris across different national parks, and each experience has been absolutely unforgettable.

From day one, Willy stood out for his kindness, professionalism, and deep knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife. As a woman traveling alone, I always felt completely safe and comfortable with him. He always had everything perfectly planned and went above and beyond to make sure I saw as many animals as possible in their natural habitat.

Seeing Kenya’s incredible wildlife up close has been one of the highlights of my life as a traveler. Those moments — watching elephants at sunset or lions resting under acacia trees — are memories I’ll never forget, and I’m so grateful to Willy for making them possible.

If you’re planning a trip to Kenya, look no further. Traveling with Willy isn’t just a safari — it’s an experience you’ll treasure forever.
