Incredible!
We owe James five incredibly intense safari days full of unforgettable experiences. His private safari for our family of six was well organized and we saw far more than the "Big Five" - including two leopards and a cheetah up close. Thank you for your professionalism, friendliness and driving skills - off the road and in the „jungle" of Nairobi!

Wonderful Trip!
We spent 5 days on safari in Kenya with James as our guide. We traveled to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. The trip was our first time to Africa and the experience of a lifetime! Every single day exceeded our expectations and was better than we could have hoped. Our group included 4 adults and 2 children (8 and 11 years old).
James was very well organized and responsive to all our requests. He facilitated an excellent itinerary and was flexible anytime we had new requests. He is an excellent driver and we felt safe and secure trailblazing across Kenya with him.
He has expertise in finding and spotting animals and helped us see more than we hoped. We saw lions (2 prides), leopards (2), black (2) and white (8) rhinos, and countless elephants , water buffalo, wildebeests, hippos, giraffes, zebras, flamingos, monkeys, baboons, and many more. My children especially loved the many baby animals we saw. I personally love birds and James was able to spot and identify many birds for me which was a personal highlight (Fish Eagle, Helmeted Guineafowl, African Spoonbill, Peid Kingfisher, Sacred Ibis, Fish Eagle, Gray Crowned Crane, and more).
James was incredibly informative and answered all the questions we had. We greatly enjoyed our time spent with him and learned a lot about Kenya, animals, culture, and history. We started the trip as strangers and left feeling like James was a life long friend.
I would highly recommend this company and can confidently say you can expect a wonderful experience.

Very good knowledge of everything and a lots If fun!
Our experience in Kenya was so wonderful in every way! Our guide James was an expert driver, and was great at tracking the potential locations of the animals to get us very close to the action. He is truly a professional. He was so knowledgeable about the area and knew all there is to know about the animals we saw. He was funny and just amazing really! :) Thanks again!
We also were very happy with all the accommodations we stayed at, from the food to the staff, every place we stayed at was super!
Overall, everything went perfectly and truly exceeded our expectations.

"Love" can't describe how wonderful this experience was
Book this company and you will be treated to the adventure of a lifetime. My group spent 5 days with James in Lake Nakuru and and Maasai Mara.
We expected beautiful views and amazing animals, but we got much more beyond that. We found wonderful company, fascinating education on the animals, and expert understanding of Kenyan culture. We felt safe in professional hands for the entire week. Our guide has the unique ability to know when something special is right about to happen. We saw the big 5 in three days, and again saw all 5 again on our fourth day. We came in without too much expectation and we were blown away. He can just sense what you are most interested in, even if you don't know yourself!
James treated us like friends, and cares so much about his country and the environment. This trip is designed around animals, but you may just find a human connection like none other. Asante sana James!

Amazing experience and perfectly arranged
The safari with Marurumi safaris was amazing! The communication was fast and clear and they arranged everything perfectly.
Mr Robinson was our guide and was a great tour guide. He went out of his way to show us all the animals, which he could all identify, really took his time and was always friendly and patient.
The accomodations we slept in were also great. It was a good mix of different surroundings, the food was always good and the staff very friendly. It was especially very special to sleep in a hotel where the girafs and zebra’s just walk around!
I think the price-quality ratio was very good. We would recomment Marurumi safaris

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.
