fabulous
I am so happy we managed to find such a good safari tour as they gave us, not just the best but one of the funniest and outgoing guide Albert.
I would highly recommend choosing him as your guide as he has been doing it for 22 years, which is just astounding to hear. That much experience you would think that you surely will see everything, right? Look no further as Albert, with his bare eyes, located every single animal that I couldn't see. He knows so much about these animals with just one glimpse of them, he knows the way around the parks without needing any guidance.
He would always try his best to keep the energy as positive as possible, always making jokes and laughing at ours. Such a great guide and overall person.
He never failed to make me smile once during the entire safari tour and will leave your jaw on the floor at how skilled he really is when put out in the open. Definitely one of the best guides out there and has a good sense of humour as well.
Thank you Albert so much for such a unforgettable experience, that will always have a place in my heart as this was my was my first safari and the BEST one too!

An exceptional safari experience—I can’t wait to return!
My safari adventure with Jungleroam Safaris was absolutely incredible, thanks to our amazing guide, Steve! From start to finish, his expertise, enthusiasm, and dedication made the trip truly special.
Steve’s knowledge of wildlife and the local ecosystem was impressive—he could spot animals from a distance and shared fascinating facts about each species. His passion for conservation and respect for nature were evident in every detail of the tour.
What stood out most was Steve’s professionalism and friendliness. He ensured our safety while making the experience fun and engaging. Whether it was tracking a leopard, witnessing a herd of elephants, or enjoying a breathtaking sunrise, Steve made sure we had the best views and photo opportunities.
The entire Jungleroam Safaris team was well-organized. But it was Steve who made this adventure unforgettable. I highly recommend Jungleroam Safaris, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Steve as your guide!

Steve, the guide of this trip, was very good. He provided us with full emotional value along the way
I was very satisfied with the accommodation during the whole trip. I also liked the scenery very much. I also saw a lot of animals, such as lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, hippos, deer, etc. We were very satisfied with the whole trip.

Highly organized, competent and experienced
Ashu provided a fantastic itinerary from start to finish. All personnel from the scouts to the cooks and guides were highly experienced and personable. If you’re thinking of exploring this magnificent country, look no further.

Things I wish I would have known...
First of all the value for the money was amazing. The customer service and the way they handled our entire trip the whole time was beyond our expectations. Kelvin made us feel secure the whole way and took care of every single stop and transfer without error! If you are considering this operation, purchase without fear!
Now here are some things we wish we would have known before starting out...
1) You are going to be in a Toyota Land cruiser and none of them from any of these companies have air conditioning. Because this is the high elevation tropics, that is usually okay. We were there in July and we could say we got hot in the car maybe once for a few minutes.
2) The mornings can be COLD . Bring at least one set of warm clothes.
3) do the Jeep excursions and not the ones where you're in an open truck strapped to a seat. Those people were at the mercy of the dust on the road and the weather 100% of the time. It looked completely miserable!
4) Don't bother overpacking. You will not be getting out of the car, except at lunch time in a campground.
5) take pictures of your people looking at the wildlife not just the wildlife.
6) hakuna matata... It's a way of life there and you should adopt it. Don't worry about things going wrong. Your safari company will make them right.
7) go to Zanzibar for at least one day, More if you can afford it. The Zanzibar Beach resort experience is incredible! We went for a day before our Safari and a day after and it was a stroke of genius.
8) The road is awful. I cannot stress this enough. The drives are torture for hours. Bring noise canceling headphones and you will thank yourself every single day.
9) bring Euro chargers for your phones. There is amazing support for US chargers but you will regret the day that it is missing.
10) The airport souvenirs were the same stuff but always seemed much cheaper than outside. This is opposite what you would expect. Kenya airport especially is a shoppers dream.
11) English skills here are rough. It may not be what you are used to. If you are thinking of a tour guide with a long canned speech, you should probably change your expectations.
12) do not fear the semi-permanent tent campsites because those were some of the best sleeps that we had and some of the best food that we had.
13) I wish I had carried more of the local currency all the time. Most places take dollars but once in a while they don't when you really need it.
14) The skill of your guide will determine what animals you see. We were very fortunate to have a fantastic one who seem to have a radar for rare animals. Shout out to Frank.
15) you are not going to get out of your car to look at the animals. Ever. That being said the pop tops on all the Jeeps make you feel super close to the animals.
16) The food is actually pretty mid the whole way. Bring snacks and keep your expectations low. However the fruit is the best you will probably ever taste in your life. This is especially true for the bananas and pineapples. You will realize you never tasted real bananas before you got here. And the pineapples are better than anything out of Hawaii.
17) The long airline flights are probably the most comfortable you're going to be on the trip so do not worry about them. They will be dim memories very quickly for us.
18) when you get involved in something exciting like a hunt, abandon all other plans and stay till the very end! You will never regret it.
19) kids around 11 can love this. Ours did. Younger kids probably will not love the drive. Keep the Safari short for them.
20) bugs were completely overstated as a problem. We can count on one hand how many bugs we saw in Africa.
21) Don't worry about using duffel bags. Bring a midsize roller suitcase. It's fine and way better.
22) leave some room in your suitcase for souvenirs. They are cheap and creative here!
23) get a SIM card at the airport so you can have your phone while you are traveling. I would have loved to have data/text on my hours long drives.
Going to Africa is not just about looking at a bunch of animals. It's a complete change of perspective. Your life will be divided into two parts from this time on. That is the time before you went to Africa and the time after you went to Africa. That is how much perspective it gives you and how life-changing it can be. If you are on the fence about an African safari, take this one. The price is amazing, you will scarcely do better! If you are willing to pay more go to a more developed country like Kenya, or South Africa. Maybe the roads will be better lol.

Genes was a highly professional leader.
We were a group of Swiss, German and Tansanien people, 24, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on the Machame-Route. Genes team comprised 84 porters and leaders, who all knew what their job was. They were characterized by exceptionally precise cooperation. Daily medical checks and targeted measures when difficulties arose, endured the well-being of each individual. Everyone of the whole group reached Uhuru Peak!
The all-around care also included very good food for omnivores as well as for vegetarians or gluten-free eaters.
We slept in two tents and were woken up in the morning wirh the question: coffee, tea or hot chocolate? We started the day with a hot drink in the tent!
A short devotional each morning inspired us to hike connected wirh the Living One. The atmosphere was uplifting all seven days, even in the storm that tore a food tent. It was immediately dismantled and mendid.
Looking back on this life-changing ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro, I am still thrilled and draw on the especislly beautiful memories.
I can highly recommend Genes as a tour-leader.

Good.
Our guide is Steve. He was very smart and took us to find all kinds of animals. Boss Chesi is also very responsible and can help to solve problems in time. The whole schedule is great.
