Great service and guide
Josero is an amazing tour company that took care of all our needs. Special thanks to Joseph and Henry for organising our tour and our incredible guide Robert who was very adept at tracking animals and showing us around the national parks and Mara. Highly recommend booking a tour with Josero!
Great experience, professional reps with Excellent tour guide
We took this family trip in December with planning starting a few months earlier. We were excited as we started planning but also were anxious as with any travel to a new place, country and continent! We came across Josero travels after evaluating a few agencies and started working with them after reading through some of the reviews and after some conversations with them about the options and the planning. Joseph and Judith helped us as we worked through the travel planning and we felt assured as we finalized the travel plans. Joseph and Judith helped us to work through the various options, the pricing, the arrangements, etc., they were very professional and up front about all of the aspects. Their pricing was reasonable and they helped us in setting up the tour plan based on our time and preferences.
Our travel itinerary started upon reaching Nairobi, where Henry and Judith met us at the Nairobi airport and escorted us to the hotel. In spite of our flight delays causing a delayed start of the tour, coming to a new place we were glad to be received well and help to get us to a good start. Henry and Judith helped us for the day stay in Nairobi, taking us around during the time available. From Nairobi we left the next day to Masai Mara where we spent a couple of days, then to Lake Nakuru for an overnight stay and day, then on to Amboselli National park and Safari, then on to Diani Beach for a relaxing couple of days. From there we took the train to Nairobi. Representatives from Josero were constantly in touch with us and our tour guide throughout the trip. We felt reassured that they were continuously monitoring the arrangements and coordinating as needed to ensure that it all worked out smoothly.
Any tour such as this comes with some unexpected situations. Through it all, our tour guide with the Josero team worked through to smoothen the experience.
I am reserving my complete appreciation throughout this trip for our tour guide, Duncan Felix Ogongo. Not only did he work hard to take us through the entire road trip, he was very knowledgeable, patient, cooperative and very understanding of our expectations. He went over and above his duties to help us feel comfortable and have a good experience. My sincere thanks to him and to Josero travels for providing his services to us. I have no hesitation in giving him and Josero a 5-star rating.
A little bit about the places we visited:
Masai Mara was wonderful. The stay at Mara Serai was great. They accommodated our late arrival and our stay there for the next couple of days was excellent. The day rides were excellent and the Safari tour was very good. We learnt that the great attraction to the park is during the migration season when the wildebeests mass migrate across the river. which is between July and September. While we went after this time, our tour guide, Duncan Felix Ogongo, took us through the areas of migration and we got to see their paths.
The trip from Masai Mara to Lake Nakru was a little bumpy towards the end due to the roads, Lake Nakuru Sopa lodge was good. The view is great and the hotel and restaurant were good. The safari was a little different from Masai Mara, but we got to see some of the wild life that we did not see at Masai Mara. The paths around the hotel took a little getting used-to, the key is not to be in a hurry. There was a minor glitch here with the packed lunch arrangements, but Josero team worked through it for alternatives.
The road trip from Lake Nakuru to Amboselli National Park was somewhat long. The Hotel here, Tawi Lodge, was different from the ones at the other places. It was spacious with a nice view of the Kilimanjaro, but the facilities were not as appealing to us. One thing to consider here is that if staying at the hotels outside the Safari gate, such as the Tawi lodge, you have to leave the park by a certain time, whereas if you are staying at one of the hotels inside the perimeter you can stay in the park a little longer. So, for more reasons than one, next time we may opt for the Mara Serai or the Amboseli Serena Safari here also.
From Amboseli we were dropped off at Emali station by Duncan, our tour guide, and we took the train to Mombasa, to then be driven to Diani sea resort by our tour guide there - Peter. Diani Sea resort was a wonderful couple of days finale to our trip on the beach. The restaurant was good and the rooms comfortable.
From Diani sea resort we were driven back to Mombasa, and from there we took the train to Nairobi and back on the flight from there.
Along the trip our tour guide took us to some shops where we could shop for travel memorabilia, and while we did buy some stuff we did not have space for more. We learnt that if we had traveled light we could have bought some more of them. A point to note here - there are shops along the way where it may be less expensive than the more popular city shops. And, as we discovered a little late, getting large shells from the beach sellers may not be a good idea if you cannot bring back those on your flights and back to your country. It is even forbidden to take it on the train!
We are looking forward to making the trip again, hopefully on a different set of places!

Amazing and intense week trough several parks
We had an amazing trip with our driver Loui, who drove us from Nairobi to Samburu National Reserve, then to Castle Forest Lodge on Mount Kenya, afterwards to Lake Nakuru National Park and at last to Maasai Mara. They were long trips, but the variety of landscapes and sceneries we got to expernience were incredible. From dry and arid hills in Samuru to veritable rainforests at Castle Forest Lodge to lake scenery in Nakuru Lake National Park to the vast savannah planes of Maasai Mara. The communication with the company was friendly and our driver was experienced and could tell us much about the things we saw. He was also incredible fast at spotting animals in the parks. We stayed at mostly very nice lodges with good food, mostly buffet and nice rooms. We always felt safe during the whole trip due to the good car and the experience of the driver.
We would recommend Josero Tours wholeheartedly!

Friendly communication, good organization and reliable implementation
We had a wonderful 8-day safari through the Samburu, Mt. Kenya, Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, and Lake Naivasha National Parks. Everything was well-planned and reliably executed. All essentials were included. Communication with the driver/guide and last-minute adjustments to our requests were handled smoothly. Our driver, Lui, was discreet yet friendly, and he was able to explain many animals and their behavior. It was clear he had a great deal of experience, both in the sometimes chaotic traffic and driving in the national parks. The lodges we booked were good and reasonably priced. We received a warm welcome everywhere, and the service was excellent. We were very pleased that, at our request, the driver didn't leave the designated paths in the parks to get closer to the animals. This would be illegal and would stress the animals too much. Some drivers from other companies do this anyway, which we didn't like at all. Overall, we had a very eventful week with many impressive experiences. We highly recommend this tour operator.
