Jambo! Hello! Bonjour! Hola! Hallo! 你好! مرحبا! こんにちは! Perhaps you dream of watching elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro, searching for big cats across the Maasai Mara, discovering Nairobi's hidden cultural gems, immersing in the art, going back in history, checking out our night life, a beer by the beach, exploring the Indian Ocean coast, or travelling beyond the familiar routes into lesser-known corners of East Africa to immerse in the true cultural provisions of the Maasai people. Whatever brings you here, I will work with you to create an experience that reflects what you truly want from your travels. Kenya is more than a safari destination. It is a country of remarkable wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, living traditions, extraordinary cuisine, and warm hospitality. And East Africa offers even more to discover. I'm here to open the gates for you to witness all this, and more. Welcome, and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a Nairobi-based professional tour guide, conservation enthusiast, and founder of Wild World Expeditions. My passion is helping travellers discover the real Kenya and East Africa through thoughtfully curated, private experiences that go beyond the usual tourist trail. I have called Nairobi home for 34 years and have been guiding travellers professionally for more than 10 years, with experience across Kenya and the wider East African region. I know this part of the world not simply as a destination, but as a place shaped by extraordinary landscapes, diverse wildlife, rich cultures, complex histories, and the everyday lives of its people. My goal is to bring these dimensions together, turning every journey into a meaningful, comfortable, and memorable experience. No two travellers are alike, and your journey should reflect that. I specialise in bespoke private tours for couples, honeymooners, families, solo adventurers, birdwatchers, researchers, business travellers, and small or large groups. Whether you prefer a relaxed cultural excursion,a farm tour, local cooking experience, a beer by the local outlet while staring at a sinking sun, an immersive wildlife safari, an adventurous road trip, or a carefully planned luxury holiday, I tailor each itinerary to your interests, pace, budget, and expectations. From hand-selected five-star accommodation to well-coordinated budget tours, thoughtfully chosen activities, and flexible daily schedules, I pay attention to the details that make a private journey feel effortless. My approach combines comfort and personalisation with the freedom to explore at your own pace. My academic background in wildlife conservation, professional tour-guide training, and wider engagement in environmental research and conservation policy enrich the experiences I offer. I enjoy sharing knowledge, answering questions, and creating space for genuine discovery, whether we are exploring a national park, tracing a historical narrative, observing birds, meeting local artisans, or discovering East Africa's extraordinary natural heritage. I also believe responsible travel should respect the places and people that make a destination special. Wherever possible, I aim to connect visitors with meaningful local experiences while encouraging appreciation for wildlife, cultural diversity, and environmental conservation. I am honoured to have received the ToursByLocals Legendary Safari Award 2025, voted for by travellers from around the world. My profile also reflects a 4.9/5 rating across 24 reviews, alongside a professional journey that extends beyond tourism. You are welcome to choose from my listed tours or contact me to design a completely personalised itinerary from scratch. Tell me what excites you, how you like to travel, and what you hope to discover. Together, we can shape a journey that balances adventure, comfort, cultural understanding, and memorable encounters. I would be delighted to welcome you, share my knowledge, and show you this part of the world through a local's eyes. Karibu Kenya-welcome to Kenya. Let's make your journey extraordinary. K. Lunzalu Your local guide and safari host ToursByLocals Legendary Safari Award 2025

Overview of your Nairobi tour

Explore the heartwarming side of Kenya’s wildlife conservation with a visit to the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage in Nairobi, the only place within Nairobi where you can view and interact with elephants. The tour showcases the incredible work of dedicated keepers as they care for rescued baby elephants, learn the inspiring stories behind their rescue and rehabilitation, and gain insight into the efforts to protect Kenya’s elephants from threats such as poaching and habitat loss. While at it, you get to watch these playful young elephants as they feed, interact, and enjoy their daily routines while discovering how conservation initiatives are helping secure their future in the wild. After this memorable wildlife experience, you can personalise (no extra charge) the rest of your Nairobi adventure by either visiting the giraffe center, Maasai market, or having a local meal at a local restaurant.
