Life changing experience
we had an absolutely wonderful safari. Special thanks to our guide Robie. He always made sure that we lacked nothing. We saw so many animals. I don't even know where to start. Already on our very first game drive we were lucky enough to see some lionesses with their babies. We saw 4 of the big five - absolutely fantastic. On our second game drive we saw a whole pride of lions consisting of at least 15 lions. We had a really great time. We also liked the lodges we stayed in, especially Mtito Mara Camp.

Amazing
Thanks to them, we have lived the BEST experience ever! We went to Amboselli, Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Masai Mara and we finally found the Big five!
Special thanks to Kim, because without him this wouldn't have been possible!

Always helpful and making sure we are satisfied.
Marurumi Safaris will do everything to give you an amazing and a comforting stay.
We booked a seven day safari through all of Kenya.
Saw the Big Five, herds of all different animals, lions and hyenas with their prey, as well as the Masai village and the big city of Nairobi.
The main reason for our great adventure was our Guide Robinson.
Very commited, always caring and making sure we are happy and safe.
He was always in a great mood even after a 6 hours car ride.
Sometimes traffic can really slow down your journey to the next destination.
When that happened we switched the plans to still be able to go for a walking safari and fun boat ride.
Communication was good and clear. I would recommend getting the number of your driver at the beginning of the itineary to make sure you can contact him if needed.
The car was spacious and Robinson made sure it was clean every single morning.
Lots of drinking water is available so there is no need to worry.
On our last day Robinson surprised us once again when he not just drove us 5 hours to Nairobi, but also spend the rest of the day with us at Sarit Mall and then drove us to the airport at 10:30 PM so we don't have to be bored at the airport for our late night flight.
So all in all, we had an amazing week with a great guide and a supportive tour operator.

Excellent communication with the tour operator.
My recent Kenyan safari trip, spanning Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, was a journey of incredible highs and a few unexpected lows, all guided by the capable David.
Firstly, let's celebrate the highs. David's expertise and passion for Kenyan wildlife and landscapes were second to none. His ability to spot and explain the behavior of animals was remarkable. Amboseli's iconic elephants, Lake Nakuru's rhinos, and the majestic wildlife of the Masai Mara all came to life under his guidance.
The accommodations in most locations were comfortable and immersed us in the beauty of the surroundings. However, Aa Lodge in Amboseli was a disappointment due to cleanliness issues, which marred an otherwise fantastic experience. It's crucial that such places maintain their standards to provide a memorable stay.
Unfortunately, the experience at Aa Lodge Masai Mara took another turn for the worse during payment. Their reluctance to accept card payments and the refusal to provide change when we paid in cash left us frustrated. Such issues can significantly affect the overall impression of a trip.
Despite these hiccups, David's dedication to responsible tourism and conservation shone through. He emphasized the importance of supporting local communities and protecting Kenya's natural treasures, which left a positive impact on our journey.
In conclusion, the Kenyan safari trip with David was a mix of breathtaking wildlife encounters, cultural enrichment, and a few bumps along the way. While the accommodations in Amboseli and the payment experience in Masai Mara left room for improvement, David's exceptional guidance and the beauty of Kenya's wilderness made it a memorable adventure overall.

David G. was very kind and careful with us.
We were two people for 3 days. We loved the experience, we saw many animals, the driver, David, was attentive to us at all times and made an effort to ensure that we saw as much as possible. If we did it again, we would definitely repeat it with the company.

If only I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. What a memorable safari!
We went on an 8-day safari with Marurumi visiting Amboseli, Ol Pejeeta, Lake Naivasha, Masaai Mara and Lake Nakuru. From quotation stage up to driving us back to the last hotel we felt taken care of. Our driver David was very polite and caring with us, and this was particularly important to us as we were travelling with a 3-year old. We were lucky to see all the Big 5 along the way and David made sure my husband always got the best photographic shots. I highly recommend Marurumi Safaris for a safari and would definitely use them again for another vacation.

excellent tour
I had a private tour with James and it was the trip of a lifetime. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and organized. He really knew how to position us to see as much as was available, and we never got stuck in the mud even when everyone around us was. He was reliable, trustworthy, and in good spirits every day.

Strongly recommended, excellent experience!
I strongly recommend this company if you are looking for a safari in Kenya. This is the second safari that I do and this tour operator is excelent.
Since the first second that I contacted the touroperator, I received the quotation very fast.
James arranged our safari in the way we like it in a very efficient way, choosing the Parks to visit, the train to Mombassa...
The best value for money that you can find.
The van and the accomodation were perfect. The meals were buffet with many options avalailable and the Lunch boxes to optimize the time at the safari were more than OK. Our driver, Robie is learning Spanish and he was very nice, realiable and willing to provide us an excellent experience. The driver drives very well, he tries to find the best spot to see the animals close, he is with a walkie to know if there are animals close and ask the cars to not miss anything.
If you are looking for a safari, contact Marurumi and you will have a great experience.
