Jambo |Hello |Bonjour |Hola | Hallo| 你好/مرحبا | こんにちは, I'm the humble recipient of ToursByLocals Legendary Safari Award 2025 (voted for by past ToursByLocals travelers from across the world). Sincere appreciation for visiting my profile and listed tours! Let's explore the underbelly of Nairobi and East Africa, together :) I am a Nairobi-based professional tour guide with over three decades of lived local experience and about 10 years (since 2016) extensive guiding expertise across Kenya, Tanzania, and rest of East Africa. Nairobi has been my home for the past 34 years, and I take pride in offering visitors a deeply informed, authentic perspective of the city and the region beyond. I'll be extremely happy and humbled to take you around this incredible city and the country I call home. I specialize in bespoke, mid-budget to high-end private tours for private clients, honeymooners, couples, families, solo travelers, large groups, researchers, birdwatchers, business travelers, and first-time visitors seeking exclusivity, comfort, and meaningful engagement rather than mass tourism. Based on your preferences, I tailor your experiences through customized itineraries for Nairobi, Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, Hell’s Gate, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Zanzibar, Mombasa, Diani, Malindi, Uganda, and Rwanda. I have an affinity bias for lesser-known locations that offer privacy, depth, and authenticity. These unique experiences are complemented by hand-selected four- and five-star accommodation, seamless logistics, and personalized pacing. As my past reviews from travelers rightfully show, I take immense pride in guiding visitors through Kenya’s most interesting and rewarding highlights, including wildlife parks, historical sites, museums, botanical gardens, cultural villages, local markets, art spaces, lakes, coastal destinations, and carefully tailored leisure venues. My tours go beyond sightseeing, offering rich historical and social context and insight into the natural, cultural, and historical fabric of the places we explore. With me, you are not just a tourist, but an integral part of every community, destination, and activity we visit or undertake. For that moment in time, you are part of us. You are us. This is why every journey is custom-designed to reflect individual interests, expectations, and travel style. My professional background includes certification as a tour guide and academic training in wildlife biology. This expertise allows me to deliver intellectually engaging interpretation while maintaining the highest standards of sustainable and ethical travel. This is mainly through ToursByLocals and my local travel company registered and operating in Kenya, Wild World Expeditions, which I started of passion for exploration and adventure. Before registering the Eco-travel company, I worked as a licensed freelance guide for various tour operators, which earned me a lot of experience and skills. Beyond guiding, I actively contribute to environmental research and conservation policy discourse in Kenya. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, I look forward to guiding you through East Africa with insight, care, and professionalism. Please, feel free to book any of the amazing tours I have listed on this platform, or message me so that we can tailor-make one with you, from scratch. Kenya is an amazing destination of choice for travelers who want to have a feel of true AFRICAN awakening spirit. Africa's endless natural, cultural, and social provisions blossom in this beautiful country. It stands out as an African hub for amazing wildlife safaris, adventure holidays, honeymoon vacations, and business travel. With endless choices, affordable comfort, favorable climate, mouth-watering local cuisines, amazing wildlife, booming socio-economic growth, and welcoming people and cultures, you have all the reasons to visit Kenya. Whether you are visiting for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, I look forward to guiding you through East Africa with insight, care, and professionalism.

    Excellent tour of Nairobi. We had one day to tour Nairobi before heading back home. We visited Karen Blixen’s home, a bead factory, and the center of the city. We interacted with Masai tribe members at the capitol—. Great photos. At the same time we developed some understanding of the society, the history, and the economy. We also had a chance to walk around the...

    Kevin picked us up at our hotel right on time and while we didn't have high expectations due to going later in the day (and Nairobi National Park is a smaller one), Kevin ensured we saw a ton of animals, driving to spots where they were seen and covering just about everywhere. We even saw the highly elusive black rhino and a leopard, and were fortunate enough to see a...

    Kevin saved the day by letting us change/rearrange things a bit due to a delayed flight and we had an unforgettable day at the Giraffe Center and at the Elephant Orphanage. If you do nothing else in Nairobi, you must have Kevin take you there. We even ended up adopting a baby elephant. Thank you for the most amazing time Kevin!
