A Good Safari Made Better by Great People
We recently travelled with Ramble Africa Safaris and had a memorable experience overall—I’d rate it 4 out of 5.
What went well:
Both Paul and Victor were extremely responsive and supportive throughout. Victor, in particular, deserves a full 5 stars—he was not only an excellent safari guide but also incredibly kind and accommodating with our children. He handled everything with calm and care, including helping us when our daughter unexpectedly fell ill—he guided us through hospital visits and ensured we were comfortable and looked after.
The hotels were well chosen—beautifully located and surrounded by wildlife. The safaris themselves were a highlight, and Victor’s warmth and deep knowledge made them even more special. When we couldn’t travel to Amboseli as originally planned due to our daughter’s illness, Paul swiftly arranged flights for us the next day, allowing us to still enjoy that part of the trip. That kind of flexibility and service was deeply appreciated.
Where things could improve:
There were a few logistical issues that were difficult, especially with young kids:
- No one showed up to pick us up at Nairobi airport, and after a long international flight, we had to use roaming data and arrange our own Uber.
- The first day’s 7-hour drive to Masai Mara was rough, and by the time we arrived, the hotel said we were too late for lunch. Victor did his best, but it couldn’t be fixed—tough after such a long journey.
- In Naivasha, we didn’t get connecting rooms, which made things tricky as a family.
- On the drive back from Naivasha to Nairobi, we didn’t receive packed lunches—apparently because we had used them the previous day when we stayed back due to our daughter’s illness. Unfortunately, no one told us, and with no food stops on the way, it turned into a long, hangry journey. Plus, the driver (who wasn't Victor) told us to relax in the restaurant and eat, misjudging how much time we had. We took a takeaway to eat at the airport and just barely made the flight.
- None of the rooms we stayed in had air conditioning, which made a few hot afternoons and nights quite uncomfortable—this might be worth clarifying in advance, especially for families travelling with young children.
Final thoughts:
Despite these bumps, I would still recommend Ramble Africa Safaris—especially for Victor’s kindness, competence, and heart, and Paul’s responsiveness. With some improvement in logistics and clearer communication on comfort levels, this could easily become a 5-star experience.

Stand-out, bespoke and amazing safari!
Ramble Safaris - locally owned and operated from Nairobi- is an amazing, not-to-miss operator. Paul, the owner and his small team are attentive, caring and communicative. They went above and beyond our expectations for an amazing and tailored safari for our family (including a 15 yo). Paul worked with me to select a bespoke 6 day and 5 night safari that met our needs and at a competitive price-point. He worked with me to upgrade our accommodations and gave us great, luxurious options without breaking the bank. He also worked to ensure our dietary restrictions were accommodated and communicated to all the camps. When small bumps arose, he and his team quickly responded and sorted them out, ensuring that our safari was not derailed. This included a minor medical issue for my wife before we arrived and which Paul quickly helped with as soon as we got into Nairobi. It also included picking up for us an item that we left on the plane (to ensure we did not have to worry about it when we can back after the safari to Nairobi). While Ramble Safari is a small operator in a sea of competitors, my recommendation is go local and choose them for a hands-on, tailored and amazing experience.
It was a wonderful experience and the operators provided great itinerary and service
Visit both Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha if you have time.

Perfect!!! Choose this agency and you’ll never regret it!
Paul is a very reliable friend! He gave us a reasonable price (We've compared 4 agencies) and deliveried a perfect arrangement! Our safari guidance was Victor, he is a very professional guidance and a nice person. We got all BIG FIVE collected, and saw lion hunting, hyena and vulture fighting for food, lions mating.....and we took many wildlife pictures as we expected! That was a wonderful experience and exceeded expectations! I recommend this agency to all of you!!!! Friends in China, you have made the right choice. Paul who contacted us is very reliable and the guide is also very professional! Let's go!!

Responsive
I dealt with Paul and he was very responsive. I booked quite late (1 month) and so struggled with accommodation options. I asked for guidance between somewhere outside the mara or inside (the Lorian camp- somewhere I had found on google) and he has suggested that the one I found may be better in terms of luxury and being inside the mara and getting an extra game drive in the morning as we were travelling out. Unfortunately the camp was basic and the extra game drive did not happen as that camp was so far from the gate and you have to keep the windows up, we had to rush out without seeing a thing. I fed back our disappointment to Paul and he took this well. Overall Paul and the driver were very reliable and had excellent communication.

Fantastic safari tour
unforgettable 9 day tour of 6 parks/reserves - well worth the money
Paul was very responsive in setting everything up and organising some breathtaking lodges, some with spectacular views of watering holes where all the animals meet.
Our guide was Berry Gordonne Ortieno who has 20 years experience as a safari driver and guide. He was able to drive us right into the action to see the animals very close up. We saw all big 5 on the first day, including a cheetah hunting a gazelle. We have some fantastic pictures and made some wonderful memories.

Worth every penny. Great Safari.
Paul is very responsive to all our needs. Our flight was delayed and luggage was lost but Rambles Africa sorted it all out.
John Masek was our safari guide. A proper Masai who know the Mara and Amboseli like the back of his hand. Drove us right into the action. We saw all big 5 in one day, we followed the wildabeast and zebra migration. We saw amazing panromic views with so much wildlife ( take binoculars or good lens to see animals miles away).
We got up within meters of lions, cheetahs, massive elephants…

Great Experience!
All the experience was great, with very good drivers/guides. Jackson and Joe are real Masai Warriors. We saw all the Big 5 (4 already in day one). The Masai have a good "nose" to find the hidding places. Did learn a lot about the Masai culture and traditions. Kenyans are so friendly and helpful, everywhere you go. The hotel in Amboseli wasn't a good choice but all the rest was great. The extra Balloon ride was a real "Out of Africa" experience. The Masai Village was also a great experience. The box lunch after a few days gets boring, but we're there to use the time to see the wildlife. Thanks Paul!
Good
Communication from the company is excellent. Our trip is well organized and the travel guide is very knowledgeable. A good company to have our African adventure!
