Excellent planning and execution made an amazing safari
JT had been recommended to me by a fellow traveller who had done two safari with him. And I was very happy too. Julius was great in answering all my questions and incorporating all my preferences into a one week private safari. Communication was easy and with a fast response. My driver/guide Ken was knowledgeable and very pleasant to spend the days with. The accommodations were excellent.

Amazing experience
We have just returned to the UK after a wonderful holiday to Kenya . Highlight of our trip was an amazing safari to the Masai Mara organised by Julius (JT Safaris [Julius Tact] Ltd). This was the 2nd safari that Julius had arranged for us and he did not disappoint, it was fantastic.
Everything went smoothly from being picked up from our Hotel (Neptune Paradise Beach resort & Spa, Galu Beach, which is actually located opposite Julius’ office); flying in a 12 seater plane from Diani up to the Masai Mara; a personal guide (Anthony) in our private jeep ; fantastic game drives (due to Anthony’s knowledge we saw the big 5 plus so many other amazing animals); staying at the Fig Tree safari camp which is on a river where numerous hippos live; flight back to Diani and being driven back to the hotel.
We highly recommend Julius as someone who will arrange an amazing trip for you at a reasonable price .

He caters to all your personal requests so you get the best out of your days on safari. His open jeeps give the best viewing of game on the safari and his safari guides really know how to find the animals. This is our second safari on the Masai Mara and it won’t be our last with Julius T. Safaris. His personal service and prices are excellent. Thank you to Anthony our super Masai safari guide and to Julius for arranging our amazing trip.
Amazing Safari experience
Just back from an unforgettable 2-night, 3-day safari in Tsavo East National Park and Tsavo West National Park, booked with JT Safaris – and I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough.
From the very first time I contacted Julius last year, he was fantastic – informative, responsive and incredibly helpful in advising us on where to go and where to stay. We travelled as a group of three adults and our 10-year-old, with a private 4x4 jeep, which made the whole experience comfortable and personal.
The day before departure, Julius messaged to confirm our 6:30am pick-up time and introduced us to our driver, Peter. Despite the early start, Peter was ready and waiting at our hotel. The drive to Tsavo West took around five hours, and Peter’s knowledge of the areas we travelled through made the journey fly by. He shared fascinating insights about the local communities and landscapes along the way.
Once inside Tsavo, Peter’s ability to spot wildlife was nothing short of incredible. He didn’t just find the “big five” – he had an amazing eye for the smaller details too. His passion for birds was particularly impressive; he happily explained each species we encountered, adding so much depth to the experience.
We stayed at Kilanguni Safari Lodge, which was breathtaking. Watching zebras, lions and even hyenas near the lodge during dinner and breakfast was surreal.
Day two continued to exceed expectations. We were lucky enough to witness the true “circle of life” as a lion caught its prey, and we saw a dramatic stampede of buffalo. Later, we stayed at Voi Wildlife Lodge near Tsavo East and headed out for a late afternoon game drive. There, we encountered a family of lions with their cubs – at one point just five feet from our vehicle. It was truly awe-inspiring.
One thing that really stood out was Peter’s respect for the wildlife. We noticed several vehicles from other companies getting too close or not giving animals enough space. Peter, however, was always mindful that we were in their home. He ensured we had incredible viewing opportunities while still respecting the animals and the terrain. That balance made us feel both safe and proud to be part of a responsible safari experience.
This trip created memories that will last a lifetime for our whole family. I would 100% recommend JT Safaris – and Peter specifically as a driver – if you’re considering booking a safari in Kenya. Absolutely outstanding from start to finish.

Wonderful 7-day safari experience with JTS!
We just returned from a 7-day private jeep safari organized by Julius and his team, and it was a truly wonderful experience. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish.
A special shout-out to our guide, George. His knowledge is excellent, and he has a great sense for spotting animals. The lodges were all very pleasant and comfortable, with great restaurants and very kind staff.
It was a dream vacation surrounded by beautiful nature. We fully recommend JTS to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari. Thank you, guys!

JT Safaris, Excellent experience again, well looked after, trustworthy, guide Ken perfect
Great safari, we have used Julius before many years ago. We were amazed by the whole experience once more. A safari is not for the faint hearted as you can get very close to these amazing animals.
Our guide Ken knew exactly when to back off or not to worry when close up. We were so lucky to see many elephants, lions, both black and white rhinos, giraffe including a tower of 50, lots of hippos, many antelopes too many to list, Jackals and hyenas very close by, birds again far too many to list but the flocks of flamingos and pelicans were our favorites'.
The camps we stayed at you could not fault the service and rooms, Ken worked so hard to make sure the safari was fantastic for us, my main aim was to get some great photos, he made sure he parked in the best possible spot for me.

Incredible safari and overall wonderful experience
Thank you for such an amazing safari! Communication whilst planning beforehand was always helpful, but I was still a little nervous in case things didn’t work out as I wasn’t booking through a large, well known ( to me) tour operator. But right from pick up I realized it was going to be great. We were lucky enough to have Dominic as our guide. What an incredible person. Firstly, he was so knowledgeable - from animals and birds to politics to landscape and geography- his education , training and years of experience was clear. He was fabulous at tracking the animals, so we ended up seeing everything we could have hoped for plus so much more. Because of his instinct we saw the wildebeest crossing in Maasai Mara, which people had been waiting for days to see. His driving skills were excellent, from navigating unmarked and difficult terrain in the parks to managing the traffic and obstacles on the rough country roads and highways. On top of this he was always cheerful, even at 5.30 am, kind, courteous and funny. By the end of the week he felt like family. I realize on my return that I’d been so relaxed sitting back and having someone we trusted make all the decisions for a change. The hotels were very special, each one charming in its own way, the staff friendly and each safari lodge with its own balcony overlooking the animals at play. Everything worked seamlessly, from park entrances, to wonderful meals at every hotel, to the blend of parks selected. Finally, we found it very reasonably priced compared with competitors. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.
Professional and wonderful
Jambo! I found JT safaris through internet just a week before our holidays to Kenia. After sending a message for more information we got directly an answer. As it was my first safari in this area, I had quite some questions and Julius responded every time prompt. When we arrived in Kenya the next day Julius arranged a taxi for us to come to the office and here we arranged the last things for the trip. 3 days later we were picked up by Juna our chauffeur and guide for the next 3 days. We couldn’t be happier. What a great guide from the first minute in the great 4x4 Jeep he told us a lot about the surroundings. The couple of hours to Tsavo East went very quickly with all
The interesting information. During the safari Juna also knew perfectly where to find the most animals. And a bit off luck of course also needed but the first game drive we spotted already 3 of the big five. Also the lodges Sentrim in Tsavo East and Severin in Tsavo West were breathtaking with in both camps a lot of animals, like elephants, monkeys and gazelles. I would highly recommend to book your safari here with Julius and a special thanks to our wonderful guide Juna and I hope to visit the beautiful country soon again.
