Very convenient n organise
The planning of the entire tour is seamless . From the lodging to the food and safari rides. We had an awesome guide EVANS. He knows where to find the animals , very safe driver . Gives us assurance that we are safe in the safari. Me and my family are extremely satisfied .
Reliable, trustworthy operator who goes the extra mile to bring you the best experience possible
Jael from Jacmiya Safaris was extremely communicative from day one. They reminded us about visa and vaccination requirements, and even checked whether we actually needed a visa (we didn’t). They crafted a Masai Mara-only itinerary at the exact duration and budget we wanted. When our accommodation at Zebra Plains turned out too cramped and stuffy, we shared with Jael and had a room upgrade as a solution within the hour.
Evans, our guide, made our safari truly special. He personalized the entire experience, making sure we saw not just the Big 5 but also hippos and crocodiles — animals we specifically wanted to see beyond the usual checklist. He stayed in constant contact with other guides to track sightings, which meant we made the most of every drive. During the Great Migration, he went beyond just wildebeest, giving us multiple chances to see zebra crossings too. Beyond the animals, Evans was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing facts about Kenya plants, medicinal herbs and birds that gave us a full safari experience, not just a wildlife-spotting one.
Overall, Jacmiya Safaris is a truly reliable agency that delivered the best possible first safari experience for us. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend both them and Evans to anyone planning a trip to the Masai Mara.

This safari tour is perfect
Overivew: This is tour satisfied our all request
Tour in safari: we target to see animals as many as possible since this is the first time here, our guide Joshua did a great job, we saw big five, ugly five and some animals we were instead in.
Arrangement: we start from Anboseli to Naiwasha, Nakuru, at least Masai Mara, the arrangement is good for animal watching and very flexible. Our agent Jeal is considerable and easy to communicate.
Hotel: we stay in 5 hotels this time, the overall experience: nakuru sopa, ol tukai, muthu resort, enkorok camp and mara sopa lodge, among these muthu and nakuru sopa dont have hot water in evening, the facility and environment are good, mara sopa service is not as good as expected. Food is all okay. satisfied.

The tour agent Fred and guide nickson were incredibly thoughtful and patient; they waited for us for
I highly recommend Jacmiya Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari.
The communication was smooth and responsive from pre-trip planning all the way until the end of our journey. What impressed us most was their outstanding reliability and thoughtful service. Special mention goes to our agent Fred and our guide Nickson. On our arrival day, our flight suffered a long delay. Fred and Nickson waited patiently for us for three hours without any complaints. When we mentioned we were hungry, they kindly helped us buy lunch to recharge.
Guide Nickson looked after every member of our group attentively and cared about everyone’s needs. If anyone felt unwell, he would take us to the pharmacy and even buy medicine for us.
The itinerary was well-planned, and Nickson had excellent wildlife knowledge. He always tried his best to locate animals during game drives. We witnessed countless amazing wildlife encounters including elephants, zebras and other savanna creatures. We believe this tour offers fantastic value for money, with transparent arrangements and no hidden charges.
Unfortunately, adjustments had to be made to our schedule due to the flight delay, leaving us with limited safari time. We only managed two game drives in the private wildlife sanctuary next to Salt Lick Safari Lodge. We were a little disappointed that we ultimately could not visit Tsavo West National Park as we expected.
The team remained flexible and caring whenever we had small requests. If you want a trustworthy operator who treats guests sincerely, choose Jacmiya Safaris.

A nice caring guy
For every safari drive, Nickson tries to find something for us to look at, he points to every wildlife that newly and oldly seen.
He is caring too, two of our companions are not feeling well with eyes and the stomach, he correspondingly drive to the pharmacy , take us there and buy the medicine which is pretty kind.
He will negotiate with the hotel with our concern of security( Staff going in the room for cleaning or putting down the net without telling).
He will adjust the problem at once when he knows them.
However, his briefing can be clearer. He will talk about what will we go tomorrow, for some schedule adjustments , it will be better if he can talk about precisely in advance and talk about why we are changing it. ( like there is misunderstanding when going to Tsavo taita hill wildlife sanctuary and Tsavo west national park).
And his campanion( according to him is his relative). As being told it is a private trip with only the guide and us. It is ok for us to to have someone helping with moving the luggages at the beginning of the trip( that is what he is always doing throughout the whole trip), but we should know it IN ADVANCE. We only know the man is going with us the whole trip when initiatively asked, having a feeling of encroaching of personal boundary, especially he took my potato chips and ate them all without asking(not sure whether he knows it is my potato chips). We told Nickson about the potato chips issue and it did not happen ever after.
In short , we care about the clearness on the details of schedules, which is the person following, the schedule adjustments.

Amazing experience
We did a 6-day safari in Kenya, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Tsavo. The experience was amazing! We encountered all the animals we had hoped to see and enjoyed some incredible landscapes. Our guide, Sam, was awesome, and all the lodges were great, even better than we initially expected. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it!

Very communicative and delivered a great trip
Jacmiya Safaris truly exceeded all of our expectations. My wife and I did 8 days in Kenya. From the start Fredrick was always quick to respond and so helpful in planning our trip and attentive to every detail. Francis, our guide for the trip, was friendly and so knowledgeable. We booked as a trip of a lifetime and now are hopeful to return soon. Highly recommend them!
