Great experience of safari in Kenya
Our 9-day safari journey, starting from Nairobi and traveling through various national reserves, was unforgettable. Given the possibility of last-minute changes in our group, my friend took charge of communicating with Amazing Memories. The staff were proactive in coordinating and finalizing our itinerary, ensuring a smooth trip.
Special thanks to our guide, Peter. His instincts were like a built-in GPS, especially in the Masai Mara, where he could always pinpoint the locations of the animals. Under his guidance, we saw lions, cheetahs, and leopards and many other animals. The sight of lions lounging lazily under trees, leopards hiding in the bushes, and cheetahs drinking by the river were truly memorable. The most awe-inspiring moment was witnessing lions feasting on a buffalo. It was a raw display of nature’s brutality and beauty. In Amboseli, we saw herds of elephants roaming the savannah, with the majestic silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. It was like a living postcard of Africa.
Peter was not only knowledgeable but also very enthusiastic. He shared so much about animal ecology and behavior, making the trip even more fascinating. From the tranquility of Sweetwaters, to the vibrant colors of Nakuru, to the vastness of the Maasai Mara, to the romance of Naivasha, and finally to the breathtaking Amboseli, every part of the journey was filled with surprises. The stunning landscapes and wildlife encounters in the Masai Mara are etched in our memories. Peter’s professionalism and passion added so much to our experience. We highly recommend Magic Peter. He will surely make your journey unforgettable.

Excellent
The communication with the touroperator was correct en he answerd always quickly. The tour was only more expensive than I accepted but the tour was realy good and the guide did a good job. He was friendly, correct and a good driver. We saw a lot of different animals. Only for tvo days is it a long drive from and to Nairobi. 3 days is better. The lodge was perfect.

Once in a lifetime experience!
The simple version:
We had a great experience with an amazing safari guide (Francis) that was a once in a life time experience.
The detailed version:
We went on a four day three night safari and there 5 of us in the group
We were picked up on day 1 promptly on the pick up time and the majority of the day was spent travelling to the first camp site with a few stops on the way. After arriving we had our first game drive for two - three hours before returning for dinner
The second day involved a full day game drive. It was fantastic and we saw every single animal that you could. This included Lions(male and female), Cheetah, Leopard, Hippos, Crocadiles, Babboons, zebras, elephants, giraffes and many more!
The third day was mainly spent travelling from the campsite to the next accomodation. We were given the option to visit the Maasai or visit Lake Navaisha but personally we wanted a more relaxed day. The hotel we stayed at was great! There was a rooftop bar/restaurant and a swimming pool which felt luxurious
The last day involved a short game drive in Nakuru national park where we completed the big 5 when we saw both white and black Rhinos as well as flamingos, Pelicans and a few more lions! After this we travelled back to Nairobi
A big shoutout to our safari guide Francis. He made the trip truly special. He would ensure we had the best views of the animals. He was actively monitoring the radio to make sure that we didn’t miss any exciting animals. He answered all of our questions and he had a massive amount of information on the animals and wider topics on Kenya. He played music when we asked and even broke into song a few times himself.
I feel like the guide you have can have a massive impact on your trip. This was my first time on safari so it’s hard to say, but I feel that Francis is definitely one of the best and you should look to see if he’s available.
A quick note on logistics. Everything is truly covered by the experience, plenty of filling and delicious meals and lots of water available. The only thing you need is some money for tips (a small amount can go a long way) and to buy yourself an additional drink or two (which goes down lovely in the evening)

Very friendly and welcoming with great knowledge of the safari.
This was such a great experience! Our guide made such an effort to ensure we saw as many animals as possible during our time, and taught us lots about them. He was also very easy to communicate with, being fluent in English. We also learnt some words in Swahili which was really fun! Great driving, out of camp for a good chunk of the day to make sure we saw everything.

Well organised to high standards
Everything was well organised and worked to perfection. Esther was very helpful and always there to provide assistance. The transfer to and from airport worked very well and flight to Mara was easy and on time. Ilkeliani camp was great. Luxury tents with loads of attention from staff. Food was simply delicious and the guides experienced. The location on the Talek river inside the reserve makes it very easy to reach places where plenty of animals could be spotted, including all big cats. Security, a very important aspect, was kept all of the time especially at night. I felt comfortable throughout the stay and enjoyed a great safari.
Difficult to see any negative aspect. Maybe more detailed upfront information on the reserve would have been nice.

hight recommended to everyone!
On the booking stage Chris supported all the way with itinerary ideas for us to experience the best safari for our requests and budget, very helpful and even after we had a mishap with the payments he managed to find a quick work around
Our Driver “David” was very knowledgeable about Kenya, the route, parks and mostly about the Animal and their habitat, he made our trip very enjoyable
He is also a very skilled driver that made the some atrocious road more tolerable, he told that the Pothole are part of the experience and can give you the best “African massage”, we had plenty of “massages” and while the car (4x4 land cruiser) made easier he surely help to navigate the road puzzle, we was a great driver that I believe the car had an automated gear box and at the end when I pay attention to it I realized it was manual all alone
We been on 4 days (3 night) safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara (2 nights) then lake Nakuru (1 Night) and back to Nairobi, even if the weather was poor we had lost of rain we still managed to see plenty of animals and exactly when and where David told us.
We really had a trip of a lifetime, and we like to thank SunUp Adventures team, Chris and David for it!

Perfect tour operator
Pamoja took care of everything. The 13 day trip included 5 national parks in Uganda. All meals and accommodations were taking care of. We had a private guide (Leticia) was amazing. We saw everything promised and much more. The food was excellent. The lodging was budget, but was much better than we expected. All lodges and luxury tents had large queen beds,hot and cold water and plenty of room to stretch out and relax. The lodges all had fantastic view's and perfectly located to all the parks we went to. We got to see all the big5 easily. The mountain gorilla's in Bwindi was 1 of the highlights. Along with the Rhino's, nile crocodile, hippos, elephants,zebras,lions,leopards,chimpanzees, giraffes, warthog and so many more. We saw hundreds of animals everyday. Pamojatoursandtravel did exactly what we had been promised and delivered! It was the perfect safari also very educational on the people and culture of Uganda thank you
Sperito , Regina and a special thanks to Leticia our guide,teacher and new friend. Because of her it was an amazing trip of a lifetime we will never forget. Marty&Rose 🇨🇦

Better than anything I'd imagined
With all the tour operators out there, it's hard to choose. If I had any advice, go with Jungleroam Safari for any safari and ask for Steve (or simpleboy) as your driver, you won't be disappointed!
Value for money couldn't be better.
I spent 3 days in Masai Mara, including 2 days in the park. Our driver took us to the right place at the right time. We were able to see as many animals as possible, it was magnificent. Steve was great, sociable, interesting and attentive to our needs.
Nothing to say about the driving.
For accommodation, I stayed at Lenchada camp, which I recommend. Nice little camp in the middle of nature. Just the right level of comfort. Very pleasant, attentive staff. The food was simple and good, accessible to all, with some Kenyan discoveries! Campfire in the evening to share (or not) moments with other adventurers.
On the way back, I chose to visit the Masai village. I don't understand people's opinions on this subject. Yes, it's all programmed, the welcome, the dances, the jumps etc... But I took it as a desire to share their traditional way of life. It was beautiful and interesting.
And yes, during your stay you'll be able to buy Masai objects. As soon as there's tourism, there's business, it's normal everyone does the same, how can you blame them. If you're not interested, you just don't buy.
