Very Knowledgeable, Flexible, Transparent and Caring Operator
5/5

I'd compared some few operators before finally booking with Jacmiya Safaris. I chose them because the communication was comfortable, very transparent and easy to deal with from the start t the end.

This was my first time safari so I was completely lost but they made everything easy for me by ensuring I was comfortable and cared for the entire safari. I can say without hesitation that I am very happy with Jacmiya safaris and will definitely recommend them to my friends and family.

Amazing Safari Experience with an Excellent Guide
5/5

We had an absolutely amazing safari experience with our guide, Joshua.

Joshua was an excellent driver and guide. Thanks to his incredible skills and experience. We were able to see many wild animals often from a very close range.

He always did his best to find the animals we wanted to see and took us to the best spots for taking photos. We were truly impressed by his professionalism, patience, knowledge and dedication. Thanks to Joshua, our safari became one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.

We would definitely love to come back to Kenya and pick Joshua as our guide and driver.

Highly recommend this company and most importantly, ask for Joshua as your guide.

Good experience with room for improvement!
4/5

We had a great safari experience with Jacmiya Safaris overall. My boyfriend and I traveled just the two of us and booked a private safari with them.

The booking process with Jael was very pleasant. She was extremely accommodating to our wishes and planned the entire trip very well around what we wanted to see.

Our guide, Nickson, picked us up in Nairobi, and over the course of eight days, we visited Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, and the Masai Mara. Nickson made sure we spent as much time as possible in the parks, and we were always among the first to head out for safari and the last to return.

He was able to identify every animal we encountered, and in the Masai Mara, he also shared some interesting background stories about a few of the animals we saw. During our trip, we managed to see the Big Five, the Ugly Five, and so much more!

Nickson also took the time to stop at a beautiful sunset spot in Samburu National Reserve so he could take pictures of us, which turned out absolutely stunning.

Towards the end of the trip, I unfortunately became ill, and Nickson returned to our camp at night to drive me to the hospital. I am very, very grateful for his help and really appreciated him being there when I needed it.

Areas for improvement:

Communication could have been better at times. At the beginning of our trip, they did not communicate well with the lodges about our arrival times. On two occasions, we were running significantly late, but the lodge had not been informed, which led to some unnecessary difficulties with the staff and reflected negatively on us.

Communication with us was also rather limited. Nickson was not a particularly talkative guide, and we had hoped for a little more explanation and storytelling about the parks, the wildlife, and the places we visited. Of course, we have no comparison with other safari guides, so we cannot say how much this varies from one guide to another. He always answered our questions, but his answers tended to be brief. We also noticed that he often watched videos on his phone while we were stopped to observe the animals, which sometimes made the experience feel less engaging than we had hoped.

Similarly, during the drives between destinations, we would have appreciated a little more communication or conversation.

Finally, starting two days before the end of the trip, we increasingly felt pressured by the organization to leave a five-star review. We were uncomfortable with this, especially as we still had two days of the safari ahead of us and did not want our rating to create an awkward atmosphere. We therefore decided not to commit to a five-star review.

Overall, we had a memorable safari with many wonderful experiences, and we are grateful for the highlights as well as for Nickson’s help when I became ill. However, the communication issues and the pressure to leave a five-star review did affect our overall impression.

Highly Recommended: Great Experience, Affordable Price
5/5

Top 3 Experience with Jacmiya:

1. Best Guide Experience (Jonathan)
Jonathan is one of the best guide to have for our safari trip! He ensures that you are well taken care of and maximises the day for you. For our safari game drives, he is very knowledgeable, providing us information about all the different animals we see, differentiating the different antelopes for us and teaching us how to read their behaviours in the wild. He also places us in the best position to see the animals and get a great shot. On our first day itself, we manage to see 4 out of the big 5 in Masai Mara, we got to see all the “ugly 5” too and many more! He is also very friendly, flexible in plans and is always on time based on the scheduled timing!

2. Top Notch Hotel Selection
During our 6D5N Safari tour, we stayed in Enkorok Mara Camp, Mara Serena Safari Lodge, Enashipai Resort & Spa, and Praro Amboseli Camp. These were the options shortlisted by Jael from Jacmiya and they were awesome hotels and lodges to stay in. For the price we paid for the package, these hotels were of great value. Only point to note is that some of the accommodations charge for water (and drinks) during meal time which we were not informed beforehand.

3. Package Value
Jael helped to put together a package that is truly worth the budget we had for her. She found ways to help us maximise the cost we had to pay for our game drives and provided us with exciting experiences like boat ride and walking safari over at Lake Naivasha which were complimentary! For a private safari tour with just 2 of us and a whole jeep to ourselves, we truly enjoy the experience!

Amazing customised experience!
5/5

We had a splendid experience with Jacmiya Safaris, service was always prompt and friendly. Our guide Jonathan was very knowledgeable and shared all kinds of information about the animals we saw. He’s an expert driver that always got us spots where we could take the best pictures and make the best memories. The hotels included in our package were very comfortable and the food was great!
