Heritawi for well organized, affordable safari with excellent 24/7 support for anything you require.
We had a last minute plan to spend a safari holiday with our kids in Kenya. Julius of Heritawi Safaris Ltd. made a very nice proposition for a budget and a mid-luxury holiday including Naivasha, Nakuru and 4 days in Maasai Mara so we could decide how much we wanted to spend. We received a full day to day description within 48 hours. Although the Mara lodging was changed from just outside the Mara to a lodge within as the proposed lodge became full all went according to plan. He also was an incredible help organizing Kenya ETA visa forms within hours as time was critical and we couldn’t wait for the slower official Kenya channels. Our guide/driver Brian was great. Within the first hour in Maasai Mara he got us close to the most elusive of animals, the leopard in a tree with a half eaten impala. We had a comfortable private safari jeep. We travelled with a 4 and 6 your old and Julius arranged high backed child car seats. In the end we didn’t use it as the normal seats are very comfortable. We ended up with the kids standing on the armrests with their heads sticking out the elevated roof with their faces in the wind scanning for animals like dogs sticking their heads out of a car window and their tongues flapping in the wind. Highlights were the walking safari on Crescent Island with Stephen, walking the gorge in Hell’s Gate with Patrick, the food, entertainment, pool and lodging at Sarova Nakuru. But most of all every minute in the Mara. Kids could very well handle long drives from 07.00 in the morning till 15.00 in the afternoon. On our way back to Europe we were confronted with a flight cancellation and Julius could help with useful info to get us with Visa into Tanzania for an available flight from there back home. He is always easy to reach, quick with solutions, reliable information by himself or knowledgeable to see who to contact for required information. We highly recommend Heritawi because Julius is knowledgeable, well connected and hands on. He saved the day more than once for us when we encountered some complications during planning and on the way. His goal is always to have the customers in mind and create the best experience possible for the amount of money you want to spend. Mind you, Safari is not cheap but you can focus your means on experience and comfort. We think he finds just the right balance. Thank you Julius and Brian for an amazing journey. The Kleinjan family.

Professional, knowledgeable and friendly tour operator.
Julius organised the Nairobi National Park half day tour and elephant orphanage at short notice for our family and customised the timings to suit us. All costs were included and all entry tickets arranged for us. The safari long wheelbase 4x4 vehicle with large windows and pop up roof was excellent for viewing. Julius was friendly and very knowledgeable about the park and the wildlife. A great day out was enjoyed by all. I highly recommend Julius and Heritawi tours.

Kind, informational, efficient, easy going
Communication was clear, 100% worth the money it is so effortless. The guide was reliable, I was getting messages from the guide manager throughout the day checking to make sure everything was running smoothly. We did a game drive in the morning, elephant orphanage afterwards and then went out for lunch. It was an awesome day!

Posted on Feb 14, 2026Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honesty.
Following your experience and concerns, Heritawi Safaris immediately took the matter seriously. We personally flew to Diani to inspect the hotel in question and conduct our own independent assessment. After a thorough evaluation, we made the decision to remove this property from our inventory until further notice and until it meets the standards required and approved by the Heritawi Safaris team.
Our guests’ comfort, safety, and overall experience are our highest priorities, and we do not compromise on quality. Your feedback played an important role in helping us take swift action, and for that, we are sincerely grateful.
We truly hope to have another opportunity to host you in the future and provide you with the exceptional experience that Heritawi Safaris is known for.
Kind regards,
Julius
