An incredible Kenya safari experience. This company made the trip perfect.
I just returned from a three week safari organized by nature's wonderland safaris. The trip was organized beautifully and our guides made it spectacular. The locations we stayed at were beautiful. The most important thing about safari is to have guides who possess information, compassion, and humor. If you are interested in a safari, please check them out. You will feel safe and well taken care of by joseph and his team.

Amazing adventure!
Such an incredible trip! I had some idea of what this adventure would entail, but Joseph and Muturi went beyond all expectations. So many animal and bird species and the interactions of the animals amazed us at times!
Joseph puts together unparalleled adventures and even customized the itinerary to meet the needs of our group.
Excellent English, years of safari expedition experience and vast knowledge of the animals, reserves and terrain. I highly recommend his services!

Uniquely curated safari adventures to capture (photographically) Kenyan wildlife in natural habitat
Just completed 15-day customized photographic safari in major Kenyan wildlife parks including Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Masai Mara, Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha, and Tsavo West with Nature’s Wonderland Safaris. Communication and service were superb. Both Joseph Mwangi and Muturi are extremely knowledgeable about the landscape, wildlife, and culture, having completed the equivalent of a Master’s degree in tourism of the area, and were generous in educating our small groups of 4, in 2 pop-top land rovers. Joseph is a bird nerd and Muturi is not far behind. They are reliable and attentive to our needs. I wanted to buy a Kenya national team soccer shirt and they took me to a curio store that sold the Kenyan rugby shirt. Even better! Definitely worth the money as we travelled from park to park with game drives in the early morning and late afternoons each day. I took the option of going for a hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara at dawn. It was an amazing, exhilarating experience, both the balloon ride and the safari, and I have made lifelong friends.

Trustworthy and highly competent.
Joseph our guide and owner of Nature’s Wonderland Safaris was outstanding! I had apprehension about going to a new country for me, but Joseph’s trustworthiness and competency put any concerns I had to rest. His attention to detail and breath of knowledge about the wildlife and Kenya in general was excellent. I felt so well cared for, it was hard to leave! I can’t wait to go back, and I would choose Joseph as a guide in a heartbeat. He is also a top notch driver, very important on some roads! Thank you Joseph!

A superb experience
We visited eight different sites over 2 1/2 weeks. Joseph was consistently excellent at every phase of the journey. His incredible ability to spot game with his naked eye consistently out-performed my ability to see them with binoculars. In addition, he showed anticipation of the movement of animals that resulted in our group being the first to a new location toward which the animals were moving. This gave us perfect sight lines, and photographic opportunities, always ahead of every other guide on the range. If you were looking for top quality game sighting and photographic opportunities this is your choice.

Fantastic birds found by a guide who knows Kenyan birds like the back of his hand
Joseph took me on a phenomenal trip to Mount Kenya and Samburu, areas which he knows amazingly well. I saw many birds and animals that I would not have been able to had it not been for Joseph's excellent abilities. I really appreciated Joseph's guidance and I will happily use his company again on future trips to East Africa. The trip report for this trip is here: https://ebird.org/tripreport/251866.

Besides being a great guide, Joseph is a safe driver and can appreciate my jokes
There's nothing like birding with a pro bird guide with recent local knowledge. That's what Joseph provided, along with very safe driving. In four days, we saw 104 species of birds from a pop-top LandCruiser. And, we saw lions, rhinos, hippos, a leopard and much more without going down to the Serengeti. We elected to stay in the Lake region due to the recent rains and a medical issue. Joseph's english is perfect and he knows everybody, everywhere we went. Note: Birders see more wildlife because we are looking harder for smaller things... so, bigger animals really standout.

Safari tour experience was excellent
We just returned from an 11 day safari in Kenya. Our tour was organized by Joseph of Nature’s Wonderland Safari. Joseph took care of everything, we visited all the major national game parks including the famous Masai Mara. Our guide Tony was fantastic, we got to see the “big 5”, up close for some fantastic photos, including lions, elephants, hippos, rhinos, girafes, hyenas, leopard, zebras, many walking by our vehicle, it was magical. All the accommodations were top notch, we also booked a sunrise hot air balloon ride, the scenery was breathtaking. Truly an adventure of a lifetime Thank you Joseph of Nature’s Wonderland Safari.

Fantastic photo tour
Joseph drove my husband and me for a two-week photo safari, and I was immensely grateful for his extensive knowledge of the wildlife and their behavior. He has fantastic intuition for which direction different species will move next, and his understanding of photography helps him to consistently position our vehicle for photos before the subject reaches the best position or background.
He's incredibly smart and personable and a great companion for the car--and a skilled birder who can identify anything you come across. I hope to make it back soon to work with him again.
