Wonderful experience with the best service
We are a group of four friends who went on a safari through the main parks of Kenya.
Both our driver, Felix, and our guide, Sami, were fantastic travel companions who showed us the best of each park. We even managed to see the Big Five!
Wambuy, the woman we contacted from the beginning, answered all our questions before the trip and created a tour tailored to what we wanted to see and do in Kenya, including transfers and accommodation for the last few days in Diani Beach.
This company is 100% recommended.
Thank you for everything, Jimela!

A fantastic week discovering Kenya
We spent seven days on safari with Jimela Africa Safaris and had a truly wonderful experience. It was a very complete trip, with beautiful landscapes, incredible wildlife and many moments that we will remember for a long time.
Our guide, Wilson, was excellent from beginning to end. He was professional, kind and very knowledgeable, and always made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying every part of the safari. His explanations about the animals and the different places we visited added so much to the experience.
The Masai Mara was spectacular. We were able to see an amazing variety of animals, and having Wilson as our guide made it even more interesting, especially because he comes from the area and knows it extremely well. It was undoubtedly one of the highlights of the trip.
We also visited Lake Nakuru, where unfortunately the weather was not on our side, but even with the rain we were lucky enough to see four of the Big Five. Amboseli was another unforgettable experience. Seeing so many elephants with Mount Kilimanjaro clearly visible in the background was absolutely beautiful and one of my favourite memories from the safari.
The only part we would reconsider was spending a full day at Lake Naivasha. Most of the activities there required an additional payment and, in our case, the ones we did were not particularly successful, so we felt that this part of the itinerary could perhaps have been organised differently.
Apart from that, we were extremely happy with the trip. We felt it was good value for money and came away with wonderful memories of Kenya. I would happily recommend Jimela Africa Safaris and, in particular, Wilson, who did everything possible to make our week such a special experience.
An unforgettable 7-day safari with an amazing guide
We had an amazing 7-day safari experience with Jimela Africa Safaris, and we would definitely do it again. A huge part of what made the trip so special was our guide, Wilson. He was fantastic throughout the whole week – extremely knowledgeable, friendly and always willing to explain everything and make sure we were enjoying the experience.
The Masai Mara was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife and, as Wilson is originally from the area, his knowledge of the park, the animals and the local environment made the experience even more special. He knew where to go, what to look for and shared so many details with us along the way.
We also really enjoyed Lake Nakuru. Unfortunately, we had quite a lot of rain that day, but even with the weather we managed to see four of the Big Five, which was incredible.
Amboseli was another absolute highlight. We were very lucky to have a clear view of Mount Kilimanjaro, surrounded by elephants and beautiful landscapes. It was one of those moments that you simply don’t forget.
The only part of the itinerary we personally would have changed was Lake Naivasha. We felt that one full day there was a bit too much for us, especially as several of the activities were not included in the safari price and had to be paid separately. The activities we chose also didn’t work out particularly well, so compared with the rest of the trip, this day felt less worthwhile.
That said, this was a small part of an otherwise fantastic experience. Overall, we felt the safari was absolutely worth the price, we came back with incredible memories, and we would happily do it all over again. A special thank you to Wilson for taking such good care of us and making these seven days so memorable!

Wilson
Our animal safari experience was absolutely incredible, largely thanks to our amazing tour guide, Wilson! From the moment we set off, his passion for wildlife and the environment was admirable
. Wilson's knowledge of the animals, their habitats, and behaviors was outstanding, and he shared fascinating insights throughout the tour.
What really set Wilson apart was not only his expertise but also his fantastic sense of humor. He kept us entertained with funny stories and jokes throughout the day, making the experience even more enjoyable. Beyond that, Wilson has a remarkable ability to connect with people and create special relationships. He made each of us feel valued and engaged, fostering a sense of camaraderie within the group. Wilson has a unique ability to create a sense of community, and by the end of the safari, we felt like one big family, sharing laughter and unforgettable moments together.
Thanks to Wilson, we saw so many amazing animals up close and learned a great deal about the local ecosystem. I highly recommend Wilson to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari adventure. We absolutely loved Wilson and hope to see him again!

Incredible
I just returned from an incredible trip to the Maasai Mara village and I couldn't be more grateful for the amazing experience I had, thanks to the incredible guidance of Wilson! His knowledge, passion, and warmth made our visit truly unforgettable. From spotting majestic wildlife to learning about the rich Maasai culture, Wilson went above and beyond to ensure we had an authentic experience. The village was stunning, and the community's warm welcome left a lasting impression. If you're looking for a genuine African adventure, look no further! 🌍"
