Great safari experience
5/5

A very special thank you to Maurice, our guide in the Masai Mara. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and environment, and always shared fascinating insights that made every game drive exciting and educational. His sharp eyes helped us spot animals we might have missed, and his calm, professional manner made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout.

Our overall experience with the safari was excellent, and Maurice played a big part in making our time in the Masai Mara truly unforgettable.

5/5

We had the most incredible safari thanks to the seamless organization by Paul Oduor. He was so helpful in planning the perfect trip for our family of ten—myself, my wife, our three children with their spouses, and our two grandchildren. The logistics were flawless, and the entire experience was a dream come true for everyone.
The journey itself was unforgettable, taking us through the breathtaking landscapes of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Samburu, and Amboseli. Each park offered a unique and spectacular experience, from the vast plains of the Mara to the iconic elephants of Amboseli.
A huge part of what made our trip so special were our amazing driver-guides, Victor and Morris. Their knowledge was exceptional, and they knew exactly where to find the wildlife, making every game drive an adventure. They were also so patient and kind with our whole family, especially our grandchildren, and their passion for the animals and the environment was contagious. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fantastic time.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that created memories we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend this experience and extend our heartfelt thanks to Paul for his expert planning and to Victor and Morris for being such incredible guides.

Skilled and safe guide
5/5

We chose the 6 day safari visiting Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Each park had unique safari experiences and we loved all 3. Even though it was a lot of driving between the parks, it was worth it. It also gave us a glimpse of Kenya. Our guide Maurice was very skilled on spotting animals and positioning us on the best places to get close-up views. He was also a safe driver in an otherwise chaotic traffic. Will also recommend to do the balloon safari, we did in Maasai Mara when there was big herds of animals there, magical. Can definitely recommend Ramble Safaris.

One of the best trips I’ve been on
5/5

One of the best trips I’ve ever been on!
From the beginning, Paul was super helpful and answered all my questions really thoroughly. The trip itself was amazing—our driver, Edward, was so friendly and a great driver. He always knew where to go and when, so we got to see almost all the animals. Paul also made sure the lodge had our dietary needs sorted, and they even planned separate meals just for us. Overall, I’d totally recommend this trip—it was such an awesome experience!

Ramble - our reliable travel partner in Kenya
5/5

I booked a private trip for two with my sister.
I booked our first safari trip early in Feb, Paul was the most responsive one among all the travel agencies I contacted, and the price is reasonable, that's why I chose Ramble.
I had very good communication with Paul for the itinerary of our trip, he provided professional suggestions, explained clearly of different places and answered all my stupid questions so that we can plan our trips according to our wishes, totally tailor-made.
And our tour guide cum driver, Victor, he is very professional. He just like a big brother and take care about all the things during our trip, he taught us many knowledge about the wildlife and local people.
During our safari, he always try to let us to see the animals in a good position. And he is also a kindhearted and helpful man who helped his friend whose car was stuck in the muddy road, letting no one left behind in the area that might have big cats.
There were some accidents which makes our trip unforgettable, but Victor and Paul did communicate well and made speedy arrangements so that we can continue our trip safely with little delay only.
With the good communication and the sense of responsibility, I highly recommend Ramble for the trips in Africa, they are reliable and also the price is reasonable.

Professional, reliable, and friendly — they made our Kenya safari smooth and unforgettable!
5/5

Amazing Safari Experience – Highly Recommend!

We had an unforgettable safari with Ramble Africa Safaris. The itinerary was well planned, the team was organized and very responsive, and everything ran smoothly for our group of 12 (including children).

Our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and we saw all the Big Five in Masai Mara. The lodges were comfortable, the food was great, and the balloon safari was a highlight.

Highly recommend Ramble Africa for anyone looking for a safe, seamless, and truly memorable safari in Kenya!

Professional, well-organized, and deeply experienced — delivered an exceptional experience
5/5

We booked the 8-day, 7-night safari tour and it was truly unforgettable. We saw an incredible number of animals — from lions mating, to a buffalo being taken down, to a cheetah chasing antelopes — it felt like we were inside a nature documentary.

Our driver Maurice was outstanding — experienced, calm, and with an incredible sense of direction and judgment. He always knew where to go and what to look for, and made sure we didn’t miss a single highlight.

The accommodations and meals throughout the trip were very satisfying, and everything was well-organized and comfortable.

I brought my mom to celebrate her retirement, and she couldn’t have been happier. If you’re traveling with family and want to experience the best of African wildlife, this tour is 100% worth it. Highly recommended!

A Good Safari Made Better by Great People
4/5

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!
5/5

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.
