Our guide was absolutely incredible at finding wildlife and knew exactly where to look. We saw rhinos, lions, giraffe, Impala, zebra, crocodile, ostriches, bush deer, hartebeest, Jackals up close. From the very first moment, our guide was incredibly warm, welcoming, and friendly, which instantly made the trip feel comfortable and fun.
Our family spent half a day in the national park, having been picked up from our hotel. The driver was very friendly and polite, and he told us a lot of things without us having to ask. He also inquired about our wishes and preferences and tried to fulfill all our requests, so that we all had a great time and a wonderful experience.
Driver was incredible. Knew the ins and outs of every road in the national park and surrounding facilities and Nairobi as a whole. Very useful for such and large and confusing city. Thank you
Best. Guide. Ever! We had a full day trip with our driver/ guide William, who took us the Naiorbi national park, the sheldrick elephant orphanage, the giraffe center, Cultiva for lunch, and then Kobe bead factory. I live in Kenya, and had family visiting, so I wanted to give them the full Naiorbi experience- and William just made our day! I’ve been to all of these sites already several times, but we had one of the best game drives in the Nairobi National Park with William- he took us the less crowded East Gate entrance where there was no vehicle wait to enter. Then we found ALL the animals, including some rare sightings. He took us off roading, explained the animal fun facts (many I had never heard of!), and took us to new parts of the park I had never been to. He was prompt to pick us up and positive all day long, despite some afternoon traffic. I highly recommend this tour company and William as your guide!! He was great company and we had a really fun day as a family.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review steve, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Sherman Explorers and kudos to William who made this memorable, it was a pleasure having you with us.

We spent eight hours with our tour guide, Lawrence. He was exceptional! He was knowledgeable, flexible, & customer service focused. He did everything he could to maximize our opportunities in a low pressure environment. We felt 100% safe w/him. His English was excellent and his knowledge of the animals was impressive. The game park, giraffes and elephant orphanage were so worth it! Highly recommend
