Excellent, one of my best trips
Julius, our guide, provided excellent service. He spoke Spanish very well and explained everything. The places were incredible, especially the Masai Mara. The hotels and the food were very good; we loved it and will be back.

A personalized, well-organized safari experience with a great guide.
My wife and I had a fantastic experience on our safari. We were amazed by how much we saw over just a few days. Our guide, Hoppy, did a great job throughout. The trip felt very personal and tailored to us, especially since it was just the two of us for the whole safari. We enjoyed getting to know him, and he worked hard to give us a memorable experience. We saw the Big Five and even received a certificate at the end, which was a fun touch and something we’ll be happy to have at home.
The wildlife sightings were incredible. I was blown away by how close the animals actually get. I was sort of expecting to need to look off in the distance to spot them, but the animals were everywhere and right up next to the vehicle in some cases. We saw elephants, rhinos, buffalo, leopard, and lions, along with many other animals. One of the most exciting moments was seeing a group of lions surround the vehicle, snarling at each other. They stopped just outside the car, within touching distance and looked in at us. It was truly intimidating to see their predator eyes that close. We also saw two brother cheetahs eating a kill, which was spectacular. Earlier in the trip we had great sightings of hippos, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, crocodiles, antelope, birds, and many other animals. It really felt like each day brought something special. Staying inside the park at the lodges was fantastic in retrospect and made the safari feel much more immersive.
The only small surprise was that we did not spend quite as much time in the open-air vehicle as I expected. We mostly used the closed air van. That said, the mornings were very chilly, and I think this was done out of consideration for us. When we did use the open-air vehicle, it was very cool and definitely gave a better view and a more classic safari feel. Overall, we really enjoyed the safari and would highly recommend it. Everything was well organized, personal, and full of unforgettable wildlife encounters.

The safari was very well organized
We were warmly welcomed at the airport and taken to our hotel.
The entire safari was very well organized. Everything ran smoothly, communication was excellent, and everything went exactly as we had hoped.
The driver and guide were very experienced and knew exactly where to go to find the animals. We saw the Big Five and many other animals as well.
The vehicle had a minor technical issue once. However, it was handled professionally, and our safari experience was not affected at all.
In the end, we were very happy and absolutely satisfied. We got more than we expected.

Excellent guide, great communication and all Big Five in just two days - a fantastic safari!
We had a truly great experience with this operator from start to finish. Our guide was excellent - knowledgeable, patient and genuinely passionate about the wildlife, which made every game drive enjoyable. Communication was another highlight: the owner stayed in touch with us the whole time, before and during the trip, so we never felt left on our own. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five within just two days, which exceeded our expectations. Everything on the ground matched exactly what had been offered and agreed beforehand - no surprises, no hidden costs. The camps were also really nice, comfortable and well located, with friendly staff and good food. Overall a great experience and excellent value for money. We would happily book with them again and can recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

Unbelievable Safari with Camilius and Lion King
Where to even start - what an amazing safari we had with the Lion King team and our guide Camlius.
Camilius was such a spectacular guide - taught us so much about Tanzania and all of the incredible animals that we saw. He was truly an expert guide which made the trip so awesome. Everything else along the way, the food, the lodging, the people at all the hotels, the animal sightings was amazing. Lion King is a very professional company, and we are so happy that we chose them.
Our itinerary was mid-range, 9 days and 8 nights in the Serengeti. Just truly spectacular! Thank you Camilius for the trip of a lifetime!
Also want to shout out Nickson for doing an amazing job helping us with the quote, Florida for booking everything for us, and then Justin for giving us a ride from the airport.

5 Star Experience
This was an amazing 2 day safari to Tarangire National Park and to Ngorongoro Crater. Across these two parks we saw over 20 different species and managed to see the big 5 in only 2 days. The guides were very friendly and knowledge and looked after us very well. The food and accomodation provided were excellent. And the rep Justin kept in contact to ensure everything went well. I would highly recommend to anyone.

The tour agent Fred and guide nickson were incredibly thoughtful and patient; they waited for us for
I highly recommend Jacmiya Safaris to anyone planning a Kenya safari.
The communication was smooth and responsive from pre-trip planning all the way until the end of our journey. What impressed us most was their outstanding reliability and thoughtful service. Special mention goes to our agent Fred and our guide Nickson. On our arrival day, our flight suffered a long delay. Fred and Nickson waited patiently for us for three hours without any complaints. When we mentioned we were hungry, they kindly helped us buy lunch to recharge.
Guide Nickson looked after every member of our group attentively and cared about everyone’s needs. If anyone felt unwell, he would take us to the pharmacy and even buy medicine for us.
The itinerary was well-planned, and Nickson had excellent wildlife knowledge. He always tried his best to locate animals during game drives. We witnessed countless amazing wildlife encounters including elephants, zebras and other savanna creatures. We believe this tour offers fantastic value for money, with transparent arrangements and no hidden charges.
Unfortunately, adjustments had to be made to our schedule due to the flight delay, leaving us with limited safari time. We only managed two game drives in the private wildlife sanctuary next to Salt Lick Safari Lodge. We were a little disappointed that we ultimately could not visit Tsavo West National Park as we expected.
The team remained flexible and caring whenever we had small requests. If you want a trustworthy operator who treats guests sincerely, choose Jacmiya Safaris.

It is going to be the time of your life!!
We are very happy to have done the tour!
Our tourguide Michael was the best and a man of his words. We saw the Big 5 and a lot more animals.
We recommend the 3 day tour with camping - It was comparatively cheap and 3 days were completely enough for us. And the campsites were perfectly fine. The washrooms couldve been cleaner but all in all it was totally fine.
The organization was also problem-free, we could contact Winnie at any time also it was unnecessary because everything went well:)) Thank you for that!!
Once again a very big thank you to Michael for the unforgettable tour!
