Masai Mara Overnight Stay
We had a wonderful experience with Ruru Holidays! From the very beginning, Lucy was excellent—her communication was clear and timely, and she made sure every detail of our trip matched our expectations. She really went the extra mile to ensure everything was well organized.
Our driver, James, was absolutely fantastic. He has a true talent for spotting wildlife and took us to less crowded areas where we were able to enjoy amazing, up-close views of lions and many other animals. His knowledge, patience, and ability to position us perfectly for the best sightings made the experience unforgettable. James went above and beyond to make sure we had the best safari possible.
Overall, Ruru Holidays gave us an incredible trip, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable safari experience!

Ruru Holidays understand what you want and need to the details and they don't bore you with complexities, they do the hard work of simplifying complexities so that you can focus on just the trip. This was amazing for me

Bespoke
We had the most incredible experience with Rufina and Fred, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the very beginning, their team was professional, responsive, and attentive to every detail of our custom safari itinerary. They took the time to understand our preferences and crafted a journey that far exceeded our expectations.
Every aspect of the trip - from the knowledgeable and friendly guides to the stunning accommodations and seamless logistics - was handled with exceptional care. What stood out most was their deep respect for the local environment and communities, which added a meaningful layer to the adventure.
Thank you to everyone at Ruru Holidays Adventure Safaris for creating such a memorable and enriching safari experience. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime and look forward to traveling with you again in the future.

With unmatched professionalism, Ruru Holidays is set to be Kenya’s leading safari operator.
Our safari adventure in Kenya from June 28th to July 4th was truly unforgettable. We started with a magical day at Giraffe Manor, where we had up-close encounters with giraffes in a beautiful and unique setting.
We then spent two incredible days in Maasai Mara, enjoying expert game drives and witnessing some of the most amazing wildlife in their natural habitat.
Our journey continued with one day each at Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Ol Pejeta Conservancy — each offering unique experiences, from serene boat rides and bird watching to seeing the rare northern white rhinos.
When I was choosing a tour operator, I considered several larger, more well-known agencies. However, the level of personalized service and attention to detail that Ruphina provided was unmatched. It was this exceptional service that made me choose Ruru Holidays, and I have never regretted it.
Throughout the trip, Ruphina was always available, offering flexible logistical solutions and ensuring every detail was perfect. The lodges and camps she selected combined comfort with an authentic safari atmosphere.
During the trip, Ruphina gifted us warm blankets, which were especially necessary as it was wintertime — they were very comfortable, and I even brought them back home with me. She also gave me water bottles and an incredibly beautiful traditional Kenyan piece of jewelry as gifts.
I would especially like to highlight the high professionalism of our ranger Fred, who found the best wildlife locations that allowed us to take stunning photos. He was also very responsive to all our requests. His level of culture, knowledge of the parks, English proficiency, and attentiveness were outstanding. I am very grateful to him.
Although the trip was planned and paid for just a week before departure, everything went smoothly and exceeded all expectations. Thanks to Ruphina’s dedication and our highly professional ranger Fred, we had an amazing experience.
I am already looking forward to planning my next safari with Ruphina!

Amazing..will use Ruru again without hesitation
We booked our trip with Ruru last month after deciding on going to kenya and I can recommend them to everyone wholeheartedly.
From the start , working with Ruphina@Ruru felt natural, she worked with my budget so patiently that some days between the back and forth I was embarrassed to keep on asking her for changes but she didn't flinch or hesitate, she kept on working with me on program, days , meals, hotels until I was satisfied and ready to book.
Once we got to Kenya and started our adventure our guide/driver , Mr Fred@ Ruru was just as easy and knowledgeable, he worked so hard so we could enjoy our trip.We loved seeing all the creations of Allah swt, the birds, the animals , soo many gazelle, impala, zebra, giraffe, jackal, dikdiks, buffalo, topi, elephants, lions, cheetah, hippo rino,crocodile and everything that i am not remembering right now. Alhamdolillah our trip was marvelous from the start to the end and we couldn't hv asked for a better group to work with so thank you Ruru Holidays esp Ms Ruphina and Mr Fred for all your efforts to make this trip , a trip of lifetime.

Absolutely fantastic safari experience – Lucy was responsive, prompt, knowledgeable, friendly and customized a perfect itinerary for our first safari. Her choices were excellent.

The driver, Mr. Clement, was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, comfortable and safe; ensuring we had the safari experience we expected. He was very patient with our requests, always trying to give us the best experience.
I would definitely recommend this company. As a team, Ruru Holidays Adventure Safaris (RHAS) allowed us to feel safe, relaxed, and to truly say ‘hakuna matata’ on our safari adventure. Thank you!
