Professional andb thrustfull
Our safari experience was absolutely unforgettable! Despite a few minor setbacks-completely beyond the organizer’s control-he handled everything with professionalism, calm, and great care. Thanks to his dedication and quick thinking, nothing stood in the way of our adventure. What could have been a challenge turned into just another story to remember. This journey will stay with us for the rest of our lives. Highly recommended!

Incredible customer service, amazing, knowledgeable, honest, flexible, patient
The service from Julius was AMAZING. We contacted him in Jan 2025 from the UK and asked him to create a bespoke tour package for us. Nothing was too much trouble. After lots of changes in requests from me and options considered we booked 5 days and 4 nights fly safari. Flight from Diani to Tsavo East staying at Salt Lick 1 night. Then flight to Maasai Mara staying at Fig Tree for 2 nights. Then flying to Amboseli staying at Ol Tukai 1 night. Then Flight back to Diani. Julius always offered options at different price points from budget to 5 star with no pressure on which options we chose. Original package was to drive but we wanted more hours in each reserve so upgraded to flights, in reserve hotel private jeep to give flexibility . Julius also arranged a hot air balloon in Mara, private driver and jeep in each location. We had an absolutely incredible experience. All hotels were beautiful with such fabulous staff, service and food. The drivers were so knowledgeable and incredible drivers... always got us into the BEST positions to see the wildlife fully. We saw lioness, lions, a pride of lions, a lioness kill a zebra,warthog, hippos, Zebra, giraffe, buffalo, elephants, gazelle and so much more. Our drivers were Danson, Erick and James... they really couldn't do enough for us. When at Fig Tree the night security also took us on patrol along the river outside our rooms and we saw hippos, crocodile , elephants and buffalo. The hot air balloon was an incredible experience in Mara and we were so lucky to see cheetah, leopard, a lioness, herds of zebra and buffalo, and more. They say what you see on safari is based on luck which is partially true.... but it also based on the talent of the drivers you get... and we got the best. And none of this could have been possible without Julius support, knowledge, patience and honest advice throughout. He also checked in with us throughout the 5 days to make sure we were happy and if there was anything we needed help with. If you are thinking of going on a safari then he is the best to book with. We have already recommended him to family and friends.

Safari
From the moment I contacted JT from the UK and in Kenya the communication was prompt. He was knowledgeable about the accommodation. The Safari was perfect allowing us enough time to make the most of Tsavo East.

Incredible trip
We asked Julius for a complicated itinerary and our trip was perfect.
Departure from Nairobi, visit of the Amboseli park, crossing of the border with change of driver for Tanzania, visit of the Ngorongoro Crater, visit of the Serengeti, return water Kénya for the visit of the Tsavo and return to Nairobi. Everything was very well organized, Julius was very presetn and communicated a lot to follow our safaris every day and make sure that everything was fine. Our 4 drivers were great, caring, serious, punctual and with a very good sense of service.
We will keep an unforgettable memory of this wonderful trip.
You can contact Julius with closed eyes and confidence. We will return very soon for a new stay in Kenya with the agency of Julius!
Unbeatable value for money!

Amazing, incredible & wow! :)
WOW!
A friend recommended that we should book our Kenyan safari through JT Safari's & we were not disappointed!
I initially found searching for a safari a little bit of a mind field, as there are so many options & the prices can vary massively.
I emailed Julius & he was very prompt with his reply. I let him know the dates we were wanting to safari & he soon replied with the options available. These provided us with information on different camps & different budgets so we could thoroughly explore our options.
We were initially trying to also work out our budget to see if we would part drive to the Masai mara or to fly from Nairobi. Again, Julius was very helpful in breaking down the costs to show how much it would be to fly & how much to drive etc.
We decided that we would drive from Nairobi to our camp in the Masai Mara & then we would fly down from the Mara to our next stop at Almanara Luxury Villas.
The booking process was very simple, we paid a deposit, then a 50% payment further down the line, then a smaller interim payment a few days before leaving & then we paid the final balance when we were there. Again, I was very apprehensive about sending over larger amounts of money but everything was legit & paid through a secure booking link.
Julius had advised us that we would be collected from our hotel at 7am on the day of our safari. George (our driver) collected us & we started our journey to the Masai Mara.
It was advised that the journey takes about 5 hours by car to Zebra Plains Mara Camp (where were staying) but I think in fact it took about 7 hours. We had a few stops along the way, to see the Rift Valley, and another refreshment stop, which had an opportunity to look in some local shops. It was amazing to drive through the towns of Kenya, and a real eye opener for our kids to see the culture of this beautiful country! The kids were excited to spot Baboons along the way! Although the journey took longer than expected, we were so pleased we took the option to drive as we felt we saw a lot of the country & how people live!
We arrived to our camp & George said we would meet 2 hours later for our first game drive! Everyone was very excited!
George was great - we went out for 3 hours on our first evening & spotted giraffe, lions, zebra & lots more! We even saw lions hunting, but missed their kill! A great start to our safari.
For the next two days, we did whole day safari's, where George collected us at 7.30am & we came back at 4.30pm. We saw so many animals! George knew his way around the reserve so well & he was so informative & answered all of the questions that we had! The truck provided us with lots of shelter as it was so hot. The hotel had provided us with packed lunches & George took us to a viewing point for lunch on one day, which had toilets! The next day, we enjoyed our lunch in the bush under a tree!
On our safari, we were lucky to see, elephants, lions, giraffes, hyenas, ostrich, impala, lots of different antelope (but I can't recall all of their names!), baboons, hippo, crocodile, zebra, buffalo, various types of birds...and so much more! The only big 5 we didn't spot, was the rhino.
Julius had then organised & booked our flight from the Mara onto our next destination in Ukunda. On our last day, George collected us & took us to the airstrip. He stayed with us until we boarded our aeroplane.
Before we arrived to the airstrip, we had mentioned that we were keen to visit a Masai village, as we had taken some pencils & sweets to give to children in the village. This was no problem for George & he arranged for this to happen before our arrival time for our flight.
George was a great guide - thank you so much!
Thank you to Julius for such a smooth transition from start to finish - we will highly recommend you to friends & family!

Family trip – Masai Mara, Lake Navasha, Amboseli, Tsavo East - Simply GREAT
This year (2024) in the spring, we bought tickets to Nairibi and only then did we start thinking about how we would fill the total of 10 days at the end of October. Kenya = safari and swimming in the Indian Ocean. So we started looking for ways to visit these treasures. Individual hiking without a guide for a family with 2 children is not popular in Kenya. So we were looking for a contact and we got a tip from a friend about an agency that supposedly "works" and so we contacted Julius Tact Safaris.
And right from the start, we have to say that they really work and we will recommend Julius further.
On the one hand, he put together a very nice plan of the trip for us and, most importantly, he arranged amazing places and accommodation. In Nairobi, the driver Georg picked us up at the hotel and he took care of us throughout the trip and showed us fantastic things. We were looking forward to seeing an animal, but what Georg showed us was really much more than we would have imagined, it was dreamy.
In addition, we were amazed that Georg knew it very well in all places, he told amazing information about each animal, he predicted what the animals would do and he responded sensitively to our wishes. In addition, he was a really good driver, friend with everyone in all the places he took us to – and that we visited a lot in those 6 days. Georg, thank you, it was great.
Julius, the whole trip exceeded our expectations and thank you very much. Next time (no worries) we will vote for JT Safaris again.

Excellent in organisation
Despite the difficult times of COVID, Julius has of course also faced setbacks, but he does everything he can to make things as good and enjoyable as possible for the customer and to ensure an excellent holiday. Arranges everything well to your complete satisfaction. I have now been with him for the fourth time and it is excellent, TOP! Small organization where service and customer interests come first. Also this trip, 14 day safari, 100% satisfaction. Super beautiful and seen and enjoyed a lot of nature. We will certainly recommend JT to everyone.
