The greatest holiday of our lives
5/5

Communication: Was wonderful, we contacted David about needs in the build-up, and was always reachable when we were at the hotel etc. On the safari he was as knowledgable as he was personable, a joy to spend 7-days with. Every question we asked he had an answer to, and went above and beyond to share his insights.

Service: As above the service David provided was impeccable, timely pick up from the airport, a clean luxury car (with Wifi), there wasn't one thing we would change. The hotels provided were also best in class.

Value for money: This was great, we thought it would cost alot more, and looking at the prices of the hotels online we are surprised how affordable it was. No complaints and would book again.

Reliability: 10/10, nothing else to say.

Tour: The tour was fantastic, from the airport to Sambura, stopping at a village before undertaking our first game drive. We saw Lion's every single day, and managed to see all of the big-5 including the elusive Leopard in the Masai Mara.

David must stand for DVD + AI (entertainment + knowledge)

Exactly what we needed!

We had an amazing 3-day trip to Maasai Mara with Journeymark Tours. Everything went smoothly, from the pickup in Nairobi to the well-organized itinerary. Our guide Davis was fantastic, very kind and knowledgeable, and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. The whole experience felt easy, safe, and unforgettable. Great value for money. Highly recommend.
10/ 10!

David was a friendly, thoughtful man with good knowledge of animals, their behaviors, and ecosystem.
5/5

Just returned from an unforgettable family safari in the Maasai Mara this July. The highlight was undoubtedly witnessing the awe-inspiring Great Migration, with countless wildebeest and zebras courageously crossing the river – a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Our guide, David, a wildlife veterinarian and the owner of the tour company, possessed an impressive knowledge of the animals, their behaviors, and the ecosystem. He didn't just point out animals; he shared interesting insights, making every sighting meaningful. We saw a staggering amount of wildlife, far too many to list, but the sheer volume of impalas, buffaloes, gazelles, hippos, and baboons, alongside specific sightings like five lions, four leopards, eight crocodiles, nine hyenas, dozens of elephants and giraffes, and a wide variety of birds speaks to the incredible access we had.

David's dedication to wildlife protection was evident; we even saw him offering guidance to other tour operators to ensure the animals' safety. Beyond his expertise, David was incredibly friendly, had a fantastic sense of humor, and showed genuine high morals and ethics throughout our journey. He truly went above and beyond to ensure we had an enriching and memorable experience.

A tip for future travelers: booking your accommodations well in advance is highly recommended to secure the best options. We can't recommend this safari experience enough – it was an adventure our family will cherish!

What a Safari
5/5

My 1st ever safari and what an experience it was with David our tour guide and driver. The Masai Mara experience with Journey Mark tours was just second to none, we saw 2 leopards up trees with and 6 lions asleep below the trees, and then a female leopard who had just killed a wildebeest and was resting after her kill ! Drove through a herd of wildebeest, saw elephants, giraffes, zebras and a lone Tsava Cat!

True People Oriented
5/5

While I reached out to many companies to book my safari, it was the staff of Journeymark who answered promptly and courteously.
David, the owner, served as not only a guide, but a patient and well versed fountain of knowledge.
His patience and charisma made the safari more than just a trip but rather an unforgettable experience.
I highly recommend Journeymark.
