The reviews speak volumes about the experience:

Best Safari guide in Kenya - I give this a 10 out of five. Peter is hands-down the best guide I’ve ever had in the Nairobi national Park and I’ve visited this place at least six times. We went late in the afternoon and managed to see every single animal including incredible close and very personal shots with rhinoceros and lions. (Reviewed on 2024-09-09)
