It is great. All the arrangements are prefect.
This travel agency communicated promptly and was even reachable via WeChat in China. The price was fair and the itinerary ran smoothly. They assigned us a highly experienced guide, John, and thanks to him we were able to see almost every scene we had hoped for.

Had a great holiday
We had a wonderful vacation in Kenya with Native Africa Tours. We took a comprehensive tour of Kenya, including safaris in numerous parks, each one as magnificent as the next, accompanied by Moses (the person in charge of organizing the trip) and David, our driver. Everything went almost like clockwork: a few regular organizational issues hampered the trip, which were quickly resolved each time, but they did waste some of our time and energy.
Moses did everything he could to ensure the trip went as smoothly as possible; David is a focused and careful driver (perhaps a little too careful, as we were driving really slowly). He was rather quiet and unfriendly (while still remaining kind). Fortunately, Moses was there to chat with us!
Despite these two or three drawbacks, we will have wonderful memories of this vacation and recommend this trusted agency.

A Truly Unforgettable Safari Experience with Spirit of Kenya
One of my mom's lifelong dreams has been to go on an African safari, and Spirit of Kenya made that dream come true. Our planner, Filipa, crafted a wonderful 5 day itinerary that allowed us to explore Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli.
Our driver and guide, Raphael, was phenomenal. My mom really wanted to see the Big Five, and thanks to his sharp eye and experience, we were able to spot lions, rhinos, buffalos, and elephants, along with so many other amazing animals like warthogs, antelopes, gazelles, crocodiles, hippos, and countless beautiful birds. We also witnessed unforgettable moments, from a lion carrying the carcass of an antelope between Land Cruisers to an elephant charging at a female lion and her cubs to defend its own.
We appreciated how Raphael not only taught us about the animals but also shared fascinating insights about Kenya's history, culture, and his own experiences as a Maasai.
On our final day, we encountered a protest on the road back to Nairobi, and Raphael handled the situation calmly and resourcefully to ensure we reached the airport on time for our flight.
Overall, it was a spectacular trip, and we felt so cared for from start to finish. I would highly recommend Spirit of Kenya and Raphael Torome to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Perfect trip! Perfect Jungleroam! Perfect guide Francis!
A truly wonderful travel experience. I highly recommend Jungleroam Travel! I also highly recommend our guide, Francis! His eye for animals is unmatched, and we spotted nearly every animal we wanted to see. We even got tired of seeing lions, and we even got to see elusive leopards up close. He also has incredible driving skills and a fantastic eye for photography, always securing the perfect vantage point for stunning photos. He's always punctual, never late! He always showed up on time for our scheduled departure the next day, which completely exceeded my expectations. He also provided a lot of emotional value along the way, constantly inspiring enthusiasm and passion for the journey. I've already recommended Francis to everyone I know who's thinking of visiting Kenya. I'm sure he won't have time to rest for the next year, as he's sure to be one of Kenya's most sought-after guides.

Grateful Hearts, Wild Lands: Thank You, Oldbeast Vacations
From start to finish, this was an unforgettable experience—truly the trip of a lifetime! Every part of our journey, from the breathtaking wildlife to the delicious meals to the incredibly warm and hardworking staff, exceeded anything we had imagined.
Our safari guide, Julius, was phenomenal. His deep knowledge of the animals and their habitats, paired with his respectful and patient approach, gave us the chance to truly witness wildlife—not just see it. We watched lions nursing their young, elephants playing together, and zebras grooming one another. Julius always found the perfect spot for us to observe without intruding. His passion made every moment feel deeply personal and magical.
One thing we hadn’t fully anticipated was how much the weather varied between locations. Mornings sometimes started out brisk in the 50s before warming up to the 70s during the day. We did experience some cooler, rainy days too, so layering is essential. Check with your tour operator about weather in each area so you can pack wisely.
We were pleasantly surprised not to encounter any mosquitos during our trip—likely due to the cooler weather—which meant we didn’t really need bug spray or preventative medicine. Also, because all game drives are done by vehicle and walking in the habitats isn’t allowed, sun exposure was minimal.
The drives themselves were often bumpy and dusty, with long stretches on rough dirt or rocky roads—but this only added to the adventure and authenticity of the experience.
The accommodations were absolutely fantastic! We stayed in a variety of beautiful places—from elegant hotel-style lodges to luxurious canvas tented camps. We chose the luxury package, and every site had hot water and comfortable amenities that made us feel pampered even in the wild. The staff at each location went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well cared for.
And the food… wow! Each lodge had its own unique touch, but all offered a variety of dishes that could accommodate any dietary needs. Breakfasts and dinners were generous self-serve buffets, and we were always well-fed. Lunches during game drives ranged from warm meals to boxed lunches—though we had more of the latter, they were always plentiful, and we never went hungry!
We wholeheartedly recommend Oldbeast Vacations—and if you're lucky enough to get Julius as your guide, you are in for something truly special. This was more than a vacation; it was a journey that touched our hearts and filled us with lifelong memories.

Good
Our safari across Kenya’s most iconic landscapes—Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Naivasha—was elevated from “incredible” to “life-long memory” because of one person: our guide, Stevo. When it comes to safari expertise, passion, and care, he’s in a league of his own.
