Could not have been better! Wonderful Tour Operator!
5/5

We were really really pleased with this safari operator! Gladys and Naomi are total professionals. They helped us arrange a great safari despite having a shorter than average amount of time available. We were greeted at the airport even though our plane was late by hours. Communication was great and they arranged everything beautifully. Also... the lodge they arranged was surprisingly luxurious! Such a great job with the planning!

Our guide was Samwe, and he was a really cool guy ... which is important because you'll be spending lots of time with your guide. He was knowledgable, experienced, and very friendly. He helped us track down 4 of the Big 5, and clearly knew the Masai Mara reserve well. We were very appreciative that he was able to help us get to the park on the same day we arrived, despite us arriving in the afternoon. It was a long day of driving on some pretty rough terrain. We recommend asking for Samwe!

Use this safari operator! You won't be sorry!

6 days, 4 parks, 1 super driver & guide! What a wonderful experience :)
5/5

I booked the Safari from home few weeks before leave for Kenya. After a first look on their packages proposals we made a customized 6 days Safari with our needs and preferences.
If you are a demanding person, I suggest you to check well every details and also the accommodations. You can so decide to mix up the budget cathegories or anyway know where you will stay.
Fast and nice comunication, we where very luky with the driver - super Peter - and also with the animals. Such a GREAT experience!
Thank you African Jungles :)

Reasonably priced with professional staff
4/5

Naomi was very responsive to my email inquiries and was able to accommodate my needs with such patience to call each one of few available lodging options when there were not many places left available since we booked quite late. Flexible payment arrangements too.

Joel the driver and guide was an easy-going smiley guy and could really spot animals! He spotted a crocodile in the river from very far.

The vehicle itself could use some upgrades though - it was very bouncy and the seats were a bit slanted and very worn. However this did not turn out to be a huge problem as Joel was a very good driver.

Best safari tour I have ever done! Amazing guide and tour and good prices! Saw hunting, birth, fight
5/5

The entire experience with Heritage of African Jungles was amazing. Starting from the booking of the safari, they have showed immediately a lot of flexibility on what to do and where to go and they adapted the program 100% to our wants and needs. They always offer really good solutions and they were very knowledge on the offers. after comparing 10 different safari tours they were the best and cheapest option we found, and the service was excellent.
On the day of the arrival they went to pick us up and quickly briefed us on safety issues and what to expected and we went immediately to Massai Mara. We had a nice car with radio (so the guides could find easily where animals were) and many many waters for the whole trip!
On the safari we saw every possible animal and even better, we saw them in action. We say a Cheetah hunting a small gazelle, one buffalo getting birth, 2 giraffes fighting, lions mating, a leopard after hunt, hippo's very close, a buffalo being eaten by hyenas. And many other things!
The best was our guide: Francis! We thank him so much for all the experience and effort with us. Always aware and looking for animals, very carefull and nice drivers, very well informed, always exceeding our expectations and making sure we were enjoying everything all the time! At the same time not overloading us with information. Best game-driver ever!
With all of this experience I can only recommend Heritage of African Jungles! And I will come back soon!

Friendly, knowledgable and attentive to detail
4/5

We found Naomi and Gladys at Heritage of African Jungles to be warm, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to details. They were prompt and accurate with their responses by email, and very helpful when we visited them in their Nairobi office. We had a nice tour to Masai Mara National Reserve. Our guide, Francis, was professional, flexible, friendly, and an excellent driver. We enjoyed our time with him.

Wonderful Masai Mara Safari

We had a great time discovering the Masaï Mara with Paul, our experienced driver .
The accommodation at Ilkeliani lodge was beyond our expectations.
We're very grateful to Naomi who assisted us via email, for responding to our specific requests.
We definitely recommend Heritage of African Jungles for safari plans in Kenya.

Excellent organization, wonderful safari. Highly recommended!
5/5

We embarked on a 10 safari together with Heritage of African Jungles and our holidays were amazing thanks to Naomi, Francis and Gift.

We found Heritage of African Jungles after careful screening of companies organizing safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. From the very beginning of our inquires Naomi appeared as a very knowledgable and helpful person. We decided to go for a mid-range personalized safari and she offered us all her knowledge to help craft the best itinerary possible. Her replies were always rapid and extensively answered all questions.

When we arrived to Nairobi she greeted us personally and briefed us once more for our trip. After that, Francis, our guide, took over. He is one of the best human beings we ever met and definitely is in the top tier of safari guides in Kenya. His knowledge about national parks, animals, local culture was extensive, but most importantly he didn't treat us as another customers. Instead, we were his best friends visiting his country and he kindly and with joy offered to show it us. Wonderful experience, if you go with Heritage of African Jungles, you should ask Francis to be your guide.

In Tanzania our guide was Gift and he was also great.

All vehicles were in a good condition and we had no problems with them. Lodges were we slept were great and offered nice mix of camps, lodges, basics and deluxe. We are vegetarian and food was always great and cooks went extra mile to satisfy our antelope-like tastes ;)

I highly recommend Heritage of African Jungles for your safari operator. We will be coming back to them.

They made our trip a very good and impressive experience for the Kenya Safari!
5/5

It was our first trip to Kenya and I was very frustrated when finding a tour operator there as I have no idea on this kind of business there while having to do everything online. Finding Heritage of African Jungles is a good luck for me and my crew. They are very responsive and reliable since they one when I requested for price proposal. With better price comparing to other offers, they could provide a nice accommodation.

We had some changes before the trips such as number of people for few times but they could accommodate us any way we wanted. The transportation looks a bit old but in very good conditions. The drivers (we went on two trips with different drivers) had high experience and skills, especially the one to Maasai Mara as the road condition was not good but he knew what to do. Naomi is also helpful and backstop us from Nairobi at all time. Payment was also easy using both credit card (for deposit) and cash when we firstly arrived. I really recommend this tour operator if you are looking for a Safari trip in Kenya!
