A RELIABLE TOUR OPERATOR
5/5

Jamlan helped plan and execute a 7 day safari and 3 day beach relaxation at Diani beach when my Mexican boyfriend visited. Of the luxury lodges and camps that we spent in, I loved The Cliff at Lake Nakuru and Elephant gorge in Amboseli most. Sam was always checking on us while on safari to ensure that everything was executed accordingly. On the other hand, Sasine is a keen driver and highly talented at spotting animals even from far. We saw all the Big 5 among other animals.
For those who plan to have safari in Kenya, here's a perfect company for you. Ask them to give you Sasine as your driver-guide.

Great personalised service
5/5

Family of 2 adults and two children (15 snd18), initially was worried about the whole process, in particular would the tour company turn up, how do I pay, what if it’s a scam, Teddy was excellent, WhatsApp video called him prior, arranged payment and all worked out perfectly. They turned up as promised and then took us on a 2 week tour that exceeded our expectations… would definite recommend

Thanks to Jamlan Holiday Safaris, our Kenyan safari was unforgettable.
5/5

We had an unforgettable safari experience with Jamlan Holiday Safaris, and I would like to give special thanks to our travel consultant, Teddy. From the very beginning, Teddy was patient, professional, and extremely responsive to all of our questions and requests.

The itinerary was well-planned, with a great balance between game drives, optional activities, and relaxation. Teddy went above and beyond to secure our preferred hotels, even when availability was challenging, and his persistence really paid off.

Our guide John was very experienced, knowledgeable, and friendly. He made every effort to maximize our wildlife viewing opportunities, and thanks to him we saw the Big Five (except the leopard), as well as the “Ugly Five” and the Great Migration. Although the vehicle broke down once in Nakuru, John quickly arranged a replacement and ensured our trip was not delayed.

The vehicles were comfortable overall, though some of the roads were very bumpy and dusty—which is part of the authentic safari experience. All logistics, from airport pickups to hotel check-ins, were handled smoothly.

We did encounter a small hiccup at Naivasha, where staff on Crescent Island tried to charge us extra tickets (which were already included in our package). Also, when leaving the island, due to miscommunication, our boat did not arrive in time and we had to wait about 10 minutes in the rain. Despite these minor issues, the overall trip was extremely enjoyable.

Although we unfortunately didn’t see the leopard, and due to weather conditions missed the view of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, the safari still far exceeded our expectations.



Suggestions for Improvement:
1. Payment Transparency – Please kindly inform clients in advance that credit card payments in Kenya attract about a 3.5% surcharge. We paid the balance by card and were charged over $500 in fees. If we had known earlier, we would have chosen another payment method and avoided this extra cost.
2. Vehicle Arrangement – For groups of 4 or more, it’s strongly recommended not to use small vans to save costs. Our group of 6 found that the initial vehicle was too small to fit both passengers and luggage. Although Teddy quickly arranged a larger vehicle for us, it would be better to plan a properly sized car from the start for maximum comfort.



This trip was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and we felt well taken care of at every stage. I highly recommend Teddy and Jamlan Holiday Safaris to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Excellent in every aspect of the organisation
5/5

It has been a really excellent experience in every aspect! Very reliable tour operator, they organised the trip plan as I wished managing every single detail and transfer. Their representative Teddy has been really patient and kind.
Definitely, I strongly recommend them!

Wonderful safari experience
5/5

We really enjoyed our 7-day safari with Jamlan. We visited parks such as Amboseli, Naivasha, Mara, and Nakuru.
In Amboseli, we stayed at the Elerai camp, which offers stunning views of Kilimanjaro and incredible wildlife views from the restaurant. The only downside was that it was June, and the nights were very cold. We had to sleep in our clothes and under 2-3 blankets :) In Amboseli, we saw elephants, hippos, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, impalas, giraffes, flamingos, and warthogs.
In Naivasha, we stayed at Enashipai, which was a luxurious hotel with a stunning waterfront area where hippos could be observed at night. We also recommend taking a tour of the island, where the guide provided excellent information and guided us around the area, allowing us to observe the animals up close.
Afterward, we traveled to Mara, where we stayed at Mara Ngenche Camp. This hotel left an incredible memory. Right in front of our tent, we saw wildebeests and warthogs running around. At night, we heard the sounds of hippos, leopards, and lions. It was an incredible experience. We also went on a hot air balloon ride and saw many cats in the wild.
In Nakuru, we stayed at the luxurious The Cliff Hotel. The hotel was absolutely stunning. The views of the lake and the breathtaking sunrise were breathtaking. The food and service were exceptional.
Any interaction with Teddy, the safari organizer, was as easy as possible. He was always available and helpful with any questions we had. I also want to mention his excellent advice on hotels. Everything he recommended was amazing. We were extremely satisfied with his service. This safari was our best experience ever.
The only aspect that could be improved was the guide's performance. We would have liked him to provide more information about the animals and spend less time on the phone. This was sometimes a bit of a hassle.
Overall, the safari was an excellent experience. We will definitely come back to finally see the leopard.
