Well-organized, comfortable, value-for-money, and highly personalized experience by JungleRoam
We recently concluded a 5-day private safari covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha in December 26th-30th 2025, beautifully arranged by Jungle Roam Safaris, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. We were travelling as a family with our aged parents, and the entire trip was handled with great care, comfort, and professionalism.
During the safari, we spent four nights in total- two nights at Sankale Camp, one night at Buraha Zenoni, and one night at Chambai Safari Camp. All the accommodations were well-selected, comfortable, and conveniently located, making our journey both relaxing and enjoyable.
A special mention must go to our guide, Jeff, who was absolutely terrific throughout the journey. His deep knowledge of wildlife, geography, and local insights truly elevated our safari experience. Our successful sightings of cheetahs in Masai Mara and rhinos in Lake Nakuru were largely due to his expertise and the excellent coordination he maintained with fellow guides via radio communication. He was always attentive to our parents’ comfort and adjusted the pace whenever required, which we genuinely appreciated.
I must also acknowledge that, as guests, we were not the easiest group to manage, especially while travelling with elderly family members, but Jeff accommodated all our requests patiently and without any hesitation, always maintaining a positive and reassuring attitude.
A special thanks to Mike from Jungle Roam Safaris, who was extremely responsive throughout the planning phase. He promptly addressed all my queries, shared valuable insights, and even went the extra mile to assist with booking our train tickets from Mombasa to Nairobi, making the entire experience seamless and stress-free.
Additionally, the pricing offered by Jungle Roam Safaris was very competitive and comparatively more affordable than other safari agencies, without any compromise on service quality or experience.
Overall, Jungle Roam Safaris delivered a well-organized, comfortable, value-for-money, and highly personalized safari experience.
Highly recommended! 🌍🦁🐘

Highly recomme
I booked Masai Mara tour with Jungleroam. Everything is arranged smoothly and seamlessly, from the pickup to drop off in Nairobi. Sankale camp, the campsite I stayed is pretty standard. It is clean and comfortable. Foods are well prepared and hot shower is available. A special thanks to my tour guide, Raheem for the Masai Mara game drive. He took his best effort to chase after as many wildlife as possible. I’m able to spot big five except for rhino, which is very rare in Masai Mara. Raheem always able to find the best spot, and I managed to capture many nice pictures of those wildlife. It’s a very pleasant trip!

The tour operator with the best guides for Mount Kenya trips!!
We booked a 4-day Mount Kenya trekking from Sirimon gate to Chogoria gate. We are inexperienced hikers and never reached more than 3000m - so climbing up to 5000m seemed like a real challenge for us. Thanks to the best guides Jimmy and Eric and all the amazing other staff we managed to reach the summit in combination with a great time. Everything was organised very well and it is impressive how good food the chef could make above 4000m. The scenery’s at Mount Kenya are unique and extremely beautiful. We have learned so much about nature, hiking at altitude and in general about Kenya. Because of the high altitude we went up the mountain ‘pole pole’ (slow), with the pace set by Jimmy or Eric. Jimmy also helper us out with any problems that occured during the trip - painkilling spray for my knee pain, Medication for stomach problem and advice on Nausea.
All by all I would recommend anyone with OK fitness levels to give this wholesome experience a try.

Amazing getaway
My wife and I had the most amazing experience from start to finish! Mr Emanuel was great with communications and logistics. Our tour guide Khaalid did an amazing job every step of the way, we saw the big 5 and the ugly 5 countless times under Khaalid’s guidance. Could not ask for a better guide to share our experience. 10/10! Thank you African big cats safaris!!

Well-organized and reliable local safari operator
We traveled with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris
for a safari in the Serengeti and Ngorongoro, followed by a tour to the Hot Springs and Materuni Waterfalls in the Kilimanjaro area (Moshi). Everything was well organized from start to finish. The team was very kind, helpful, and always available to adapt to our needs and answer questions. The itinerary was well planned and took us to truly beautiful places. Overall a very positive experience with a professional local operator. Definitely recommended and we would suggest them to others.

Great 2-day safari but ruined by bed bugs in Marera Valley Lodge
We had a nice 2-day safari with Mellivora’s Ludowig (Ludo for short). Ludo has 10 years of experience in safari tours so he is rich in information about the animals, the terrain, culture and even history. Thanks to Ludo's trained eye, we got to spot all the animals we wanted to see on our safari. We have with us my 5-year old toddler so we had to plan our potty stops with Ludo and he was very accommodating. His time estimates though made us nervous twice (it was 3pm and he said we need 5 hours to get to the airport. Our flight was 8pm. We reached the airport at 6pm 😅)
The Land Cruiser’s cooler did not work so Ludo felt he needed to buy us cold water and juice packs (for my toddler) at the end of the day. This is much appreciated. On the second day, he put ice in it so our drinks are cooler.
The lunch on Day 1 (in a hamper) is really good. We love the rice and the stew :)
Fransiscah is great with her work. From giving us the quotations fairly quick, to adjusting it to our requests, and to following us up. It was because of her persistence that we went with Mellivora, especially as there are so many tour companies and you just do not know who is truly legitimate. She always responds to your queries, before, during and even after the tour. Everything is coordinated because of her.
BUT the three stars is because of the bed bugs in Marera Valley Lodge. Since Mellivora was the one who pitched this lodge as one of our options in the safari package, we expected that they check these lodges regularly AND made sure that the lodge is taking bed bug infestation seriously. But the fact that the lodge would not even respond to Mellivora’s emails and calls about our incident - I doubt Mellivora has a good relationship with them. Marera does not respect Mellivora and their guests. Mellivora cannot NOT take responsibility and just push all the blame to Marera, as you guys are the one who introduced us to Marera. You could have at least given us medications/cream, if refund is not too much.

Unforgettable experience
The safari was an unforgettable experience.
A big part of this amazing tour was thanks to our guide, Mr Kamande. His deep knowledge of the animals, their habits, and the best areas to find them made a huge difference. He was professional, engaging, and very reliable.
The tour was well organized and all the information provided beforehand was clear and accurate.

Serious and reliable tour operator
We booked a 11-days tour of Uganda with Big Apes.
The communication with the office and the organization of the trip have been easy and fast, we changed our itinerary several times and they have been very kind. It has been an incredible experience, made also better by the presence of Ben, our guide. He is extremely organized and always on time, he knows pretty well these places, he gave us explanations about everything, always curious and chatting.
There have been some issues with payments during our stay (due to connection problems using “MoMo”; in fact we have already suggested to give the guides a prepaid credit card) so we had to anticipate money already paid, but they refund us immediately the day after.
Accommodations were as we expected and as we paid for. In every situation we have always felt safe.
We think that the passione they put in their job is an added value that made us feeling in a family, so we recommend this tour operator.
If we come back in future, we will definitely choose “Big Apes” and Ben again.
