Very reliable
5/5

We took a 5D4N private tour to Maasai Mara. From the start, I loved that it was completely customisable based on your schedule, to your desired comfort level for accommodation and even the vehicle! what I loved about them was the price transparency- you knew exactly what you were paying for.The game drives were needless to say, amazing. My guide, Leyian, took the time to explain the history / culture of Masai Mara in great detail, and the species that we encountered, big or small. It was amazing; worth every dollar we paid. I’ll be back again and will recommend them to my friends as well.

True and loyal people who immersed us in their world
5/5

The owner Fredrick has been of great help and service before, during and after the tour. Timing and organization were impeccable. Jonathan was our guide and he has been brilliant and opened up a world for us. For the beauty of the places seen (Masai Mara, Amboseli and Lake Nakuru) and the lodges where we staid the trip of 5 days has been an incredible experience. Thank you so much for everything!

High Quality, Worry-free Trip With Excellent Guides
5/5

We just returned from our safari a couple of weeks ago and it is still all we can talk about!! 5 STARS ALL THE WAY!!! The booking and quotes went very smoothly. Jackie was very patient with our changes and questions. She was also very prompt about replying to any questions as we waited for our Safari day to arrive. Francis was so helpful and understanding. Each experience that we had got better and better! We saw lions the first day! The accommodations that Jacmiya set up for us were great! Wonderful food, wonderful service and great rooms!!
The best part of the trip? Our guide Francis!! I can not imagine there is a better guide out there! He made sure we saw so many animals and was so patient when I wanted to take my 1000th picture of a giraffe! He was so knowledgeable and gave us information about everything we saw! Best part about Francis? The huge smile on his face when something wonderful happened for us, which was every day!
If you have ever considered a safari, get in touch with Jacmiya Safaris and ask for Francis! You will not regret it!!!

Our group was very happy with everything. The organization and the safari were arranged wonderfully. All the game drives were truly memorable thanks to our amazing guide Francis, who did his best to show us everything. This is definitely an agency we will travel with again.

Superb, Delivered Everything, Highly Recommend!
5/5

We are a group of 5 people who recently completed a tour with the great team of Jacmiya Safaris, travelling through the Great Mara, the Mara River, the Mara Triangle overlooking the Serengeti, and onward to Lake Naivasha for a boat and walking safari. From start to finish, this trip surpassed every expectation in every possible way.
Our guide, Francis, was exceptional throughout. He was consistently informative, polite, and attentive, ensuring every detail of our experience was thoughtfully managed. His deep knowledge of the region meant he always knew the best times and the best places to take us, giving us the flexibility to see all the wildlife we hoped for — lions, elephants, rhino, giraffe, zebra, hippo, buffalo, cheetah, and a beautiful variety of antelope, all up close. These unforgettable moments were possible because Francis understands the land and its rhythms with remarkable skill.
The Jeep was extremely comfortable, making long days in the bush enjoyable and relaxed. The accommodation arranged by Jacmiya Safaris was equally impressive: Sarova Mara Camp Masai Mara and Sopa Lodge Lake Nakuru were excellent, offering comfort, great service, and stunning views that added so much to the overall experience.
Jacmiya Safari’s communication was outstanding from beginning to end. Every question was answered promptly, every request handled with care, and every detail organised flawlessly. The company’s attention to detail was evident in every part of the journey — from logistics, to timing, to ensuring we were always comfortable, safe, and well looked after.
Francis himself kept the Jeep spotlessly clean, took immense pride in his work, and brought warmth and humour to each day. His professionalism, kindness, and patience made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. It is rare to encounter someone who blends expertise and genuine care so seamlessly.
Jacmiya Safaris delivered a safari that was not only memorable, but truly exceptional. The combination of superb guiding, comfortable transport, excellent lodges, flexible planning, and meticulous attention to detail created an experience we will treasure for a lifetime.
We cannot praise Jacmiya Safaris — and especially Francis — highly enough.

Very Responsive and Accomodative at all times
5/5

We were a group of three and chose Jacmiya Safaris after being impressed by how fast and helpful Jael responded to our initial enquiries. That responsiveness truly set them apart from every other operator we contacted, and it indicated what to expect later.

Our guide Francis exceeded all our expectations. Francis has an exceptional depth of knowledge wildlife, birds, local ecology that none of us had encountered in previous safari experiences. He also has a wonderful relationship with communities around the Masai Mara, which gave our group genuine, unscripted insights into Maasai culture and daily life. By the way, he's born and raised in Masai Mara, so he definitely understand alot about the area.


Logistically, the trip was smooth every hotel check-in was flawless and well arranged.

If you are considering Jacmiya Safaris, don’t think twice. I will definitely recommend them to our friends. Thank you so much and we hope to visit Tanzania by next year through your help.

Excellent tour operator providing a great experience!
5/5

We found Jacmiya Safaris at the very last minute before our trip. Jael was extremely helpful, accommodating, and was able to customize our trip exactly how we wanted it. We are located in the US, and Jael was available at any time of the day for us to coordinate our trip. From the point where we landed in Nairobi to the point where we departed, everything went smoothly. Although we had already set our itinerary for the various places we were going, the driver was extremely accommodating to any detours or additional things we wanted to do along the route. The safaris were amazing, and our driver, Francis, was extremely good at finding the various animals. By the way, Francis comes from the Masai tribe, and we were able to learn so much from him about the Masai Mara region, which we wouldn't have known. We got to see the Big 5 animals and many, many more! The accommodations were also amazing! We were able to select the places we wanted to stay. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were included every day. I would strongly suggest using Jacmiya because they are always willing to help, accommodating, friendly, trustworthy, and able to customize the trip the way you want. Also, compared to other safari operators, they are very reasonably priced.

Kindest people, very professional, and attentive to detail
5/5

I enjoyed myself on a 5-day safari my daughter planned with Jacmiya Safaris. They were incredibly kind people. Our guide and driver Dickinson was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would recommend them highly and will be using them again in the future to plan another safari trip to Kenya/ Tanzania.

Very responsive, Attentive, Professional, and will make sure you have the trip of your dreams
5/5

I am grateful to Jael and Jacmiya Safaris for helping to plan and coordinate an unforgettable 5-day safari for my mother’s 60th birthday! I was very last minute and reached out to Jacmiya Safaris four days before our arrival in Kenya. Jael was super responsive and always answered my questions within minutes, no matter the time of day. She was able to tailor the trip to my budget and schedule and went above and beyond to ensure that I had the trip I wanted. We did a 5-day safari through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara. Our guide Dickinson was amazing and made it his duty to ensure we saw all of the animals and had the best experience! He was super chill and very knowledgeable about the enivronment and wildlife. He was flexible with the schedule and made sure my mom and I were comfortable and happy throughout the five days. Additionally, Jael checked in every day to make sure the trip was going well! She thought of every detail and took care of all the small things I had forgotten. Even arranging with one of the hotels to surprise my mom with a birthday cake at dinner. I could not be happier that I trusted Jacmiya Safaris and Jael to make my mom’s Kenyan dreams come true! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to book a safari! They will take care of you!
