James and Ivy at Marurumi Safaris were fantastic hosts for our seven day Sopa Lodge Safari in Kenya.
Marurumi Safaris provided once-in-a-lifetime memories for our group of six travelers on a seven day Safari in Kenya. James and Ivy were very personable and provided wonderful insight on the wildlife, parks and culture of Kenya. We stayed at four Sopa Lodges that provided fantastic services. The lodges were beautiful; morning views of Mount Kilimanjaro from the Amboseli dining room, lakeside patios at every room at Lake Naivasha and stunning mountainside views from Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara lodges. Zebra, giraffe, waterbuck and warthogs on the grounds of Lake Naivasha lodge were a great bonus.
I would highly recommend booking your safari with James at Marurumi Safaris, you won’t regret it.

Super
Working since 35 years in tourism and hospitality around the world within 5 continents my opinion is based on objective analysis.
Maruruminsafary is a local personal/family company based on giving the best service focus on providing the best experience cuatomers are looking for.
I made a tailor made 13 days voyage/journey with outstanding results thanks to James and Haivi.
They have been able to fullfill all our expectation.
Our Safari was full of emotions, James was very good in find the spot where was possible to shoot good pictures and see all animals present in the various parks.
We have seen the big 5 and many other species...
I will definately promote with full score Marurumi company.
Above all the sense of humanity is one of the big carateristic of them...
For me i can attest that it was the best choice possible...
Thank you Marurumi for what you did to.make unforgettable oir visit to Kenia.
Jambo....
Travelling with James is really
HAKUNA MATATA....

Unforgettable experience
My partner and I have just returned to Italy after spending 13 fantastic days in Kenya!! .....The safari organised by Marurumi Safaris was impeccable, with attention to the smallest details. James accompanied us to the various parks with great patience, showing great experience and professionalism, giving explanations and valuable advice.

Marurumi Safari delivered
Planning our first safari, we were stunned by the large number of providers and all the different tours to choose from. We ended up choosing a tour were the duration, price and bush camp option fitted us - 4-Day Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru/ Masai Mara Mid-Range Migration Tour.
The later mail dialogue gave us a feeling of seriousness.
Our guide and driver, James, was punctual, safety- and very service-minded. He was experienced, knowledgeable and respectful regarding wildlife and all other aspects of Kenya.
He even took us to a coffee plantation in the outskirts of Nairobi on our way back.
Bush camp accomodations, cleaning and food were good and gave us a more authentic feel of a safari.
We were advised to bring warm cloths for the safari. Coming from Norway and being used to cool summers, we thought that was an exaggeration. Fact was that we were glad we brought the warm clothes and raincover. It gets surprisingly cold standing up in an moving open jeep for hours at almost 2000 m altitude.
With our experiences from this safari we have no doubts recommending Marurumi Safari.

Perfect choice for the most magical trip
My best friend and I went on a (slightly customized) 7 day Safari. I did all the planning/booking and am beyond happy that I picked Marurumi out of quite a lot of options. It was the perfect fit for us. The communication(via email)/ reaction time for my many questions was easy, super quick and always lovely. We got to travel with Peter for the week and he was so much fun, knowledgeable, very well connected and an experienced and very safe driver (if you’ve been to Kenya before you might know how much it’s worth to feel safe on the roads in between the destinations as well) and just an incredible guide in general. After a couple of days it felt more like being on a trip with a (very well organized) friend which was a big part of us enjoying our trip as much as we did. The mix of accommodations was perfect for us (resort, hotel, bush camps). We also got pretty lucky with the views (like visibility of Mount Kilimanjaro), weather (we didn’t mind some mostly short rains in the afternoon and enjoyed the not too hot during the day and mild enough temperatures during the night ) and animal sightings (completed the „ugly five“ day 2 and got to see 4/5 of the „big five“ by day 4 plus a ton of other incredible animals, many of them also with pretty fresh babies and generally nearly all of them very very close to us at least once)! This is a trip we will never forget and I can’t recommend Marurumi Safari enough!

a very good and reliable company
We booked our safari directly with them. First, we spent two nights at Ol Pejeta, Sweetwaters Camp. It was a very good camp, with lots of buffalo, rhinos, zebras, giraffes, and even our first lion sighting. This was thanks to Peter, our driver and guide, who drove into the bush with a ranger (allowed, of course). Then we spent one night at Lake Nakura, where we saw lots of Rothschild giraffes, flamingos, and many other birds, water buffalo, and baboons on the road; we were able to see them up close. We spent one night at Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, where we had fantastic hippos in the garden in the evenings, behind an electric fence. Zebras, giraffes, and elands were in the garden.
The last three nights were in Mara Masai at the fantastic Mtito Safari Camp, beautifully situated, with incredible staff and exquisite cuisine. In short, nothing was too much trouble. Only nine tents, so we could relax and enjoy ourselves after a long day of safari. We saw many predators in Mara Masai thanks to Peter, who followed the radio like a true tracker. We are extremely satisfied with the service provided by the Marurumi team. Everything was arranged perfectly and tailored to our needs, and especially with our guide and driver, Peter, we had a lot of laughs with him. Definitely worthy of your trust.

Don’t second-guess it—book your safari with Marurumi!
We had an exceptional 11-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania with them, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. James was incredibly kind and made sure every detail of our trip was perfect, creating memories we will always treasure. We feel so lucky to have found a company that genuinely cares about its guests, not just profit. A special thanks as well to Ivy and Peter for their wonderful contributions to our journey.

the Best and Most memorable experience
I Solo traveled to Kenya for a 6-day Safari with Marurumi, covering Masai Mara, Amboseli, &Lake Nakuru. I was very anxious when i started planning my trip as i had never been to Africa before. I did a lot of research and found "Marurumi Safaris". I had a lot of questions and the team was very friendly to answer all of them and made me feel comfortable. They were flexible to offer me a package based on my needs and offered me various options.
On the other hand. Lawrence (Lawrenzo), my guide was very friendly and informative. I am a photographer. So, i had to take a lot of pictures from various angles. Lawrence was very patient and made sure i got the best angles. He was definitely a best and very experienced guide.
Trip info (5 days): 2 days - Amboseli, 1 day - Lake Nakuru & 2 days Masai Mara with Hot-air balloon ride.
Package: Silver Accommodation - Amboseli sopa lodge, Lake Nakuru Sopa lodge (best one) & Mara Bush camp on a 4x4 Land cruiser
Overall, an amazing trip and i will definitely recommend it. Just book without having any second thoughts. You will not regret it.
