We enjoyed the tour. The place where we stayed was nice and the homemade food was really good. The team made sure we could see as many animals as possible, specially the ones we were most interested in, adapted to our timing, and made us feel comfortable throughout. During the tour, Willy (our guide and the founder) explained about the animals and the surrounding context, which helped us better understand what we were seeing. He knows a lot.
We also appreciated that they avoided unnecessary stops at expensive tourist shops and they manage very reasonable and good prices.
We recommend it!!

We had the best safari experience with our driver Willy! Nothing was too much for him. He was very professional but also so kind and friendly. He went out of his way to make sure we got to see all of the animals we wanted. He is well connected in the park and has inside information as to where to spot animals etc. Don't hesitate to book. The most wonderful experience! Thank you.

We have nothing but great things to say about Willey!
During our five years living in Kenya, he became our trusted guide, leading us on multiple 3-10 day safaris throughout Kenya, as well as an incredible trip to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. He truly customizes the experience—whether you're looking for the Big Five or focusing on birds.
Willey is an easy-going professional who puts you in the perfect spot every time, giving us awesome photo opportunities. He is an excellent guide we wholeheartedly recommend.

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!

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!
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🦁🌿

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.
