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!
