Jambo, I’m James

But here, everyone knows me as “Nero Nero”.

I am a proud Watamu local and for years I have been helping travellers discover my country with care, passion and a big smile.

I created In Kenya with Nero Nero to offer authentic, safe and unforgettable experiences to travellers who want to discover Kenya with a local guide who understands their language and needs. I know the seasons, tides, parks and people: together we build the journey that feels right for you.

Whether you dream of a classic safari in Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli or Maasai Mara, or a slower day on the coast among Marafa, Gede and Robinson Island, I am here to make it happen.

“Travel with someone who knows the land, speaks your language and guides you with heart.”
