Esther Mwangi
Travel Expert in Kenya and Tanzania Write a reviewAbout
I was born and grew up in Kenya, and since childhood, I have loved travelling and experiencing the beauty of nature. I have a diploma in Business Administration from the Kabete Institute of Science and Technology, although I developed a passion for tourism later—after completing my studies.
My original motivation for traveling was curiosity. I was aware of a whole world that existed outside of my bubble, and I was itching to discover it, explore, and experience a change of atmosphere and reinvigorate my thinking.
Once I broke free from my comfort zone, the adventure and exhilaration of experiencing something new became addictive. It didn’t take me long to realize I wanted to see the world in living color as opposed to watching it on a television screen. I wanted to actually feel, taste, and experience the world instead of settling for the version I was reading about in books. I love that travel challenges my perspective and renews my spirit.
Privately, I enjoy an active life with children living with disabilities and mentoring the parents and caregivers.

Esther's best travel experience
I have visited all the national parks in Kenya and Tanzania, but I love the Serengeti because of its endless plains, and most notably for the rich diversity and concentration of wildlife throughout the year and the picturesque scenery. I love the tented camps too, imagine falling asleep under a sky of twinkling stars, with no noise around you except the occasional roar of a far-off lion. The fabled African skies take on a whole new dimension in the dark!
I have also had the incredible experience of witnessing herds of wildebeest plunge into the waters as they cross the ecosystem; it is a favorite and truly a wonder of the world.
I have also travelled to Israel, the holy land, and just loved it. It was an incredible experience to visit and discover the most sacred sites in Jerusalem.
