Great experience
We had the pleasure of traveling around Kenya with Jaz as our guide. It was a great experience, and having someone who is genuinely enthusiastic about photography and wildlife was fantastic, as it's the best way to learn and enjoy. This was clearly evident in our case. Additionally, our driver in Kenya was a good choice by Jaz, thanks to his experience and contacts in the country. It was comfortable spending time with such people, and we had fun and wonderful moments to remember.

Massi Mara to Nakuru to Amboseli
The tour was well organised with the transport vehicle and drivers being excellent. We did the ballon ride in Ambesolie which is a must. Champagne breakfast to go with it in the bush was a real treat.
Remember if you are travelling around, these distances can result in long hours being spent in the land cruiser.
If you can afford an upgrade in accommodation go for it, as the food in the budget camps can be disappointing. Otherwise this is great value for money.

Kenya is beautiful, modern, and rugged at the same time
Diani beach in Kenya is spectacular. We wish we had spent more days at Southern Palms resort at the end of the trip. 2 nights there was not enough.
Masai Mara is delightful with beautiful scenery and wildlife. Tsavo and Amboseli are a bit more rugged and bush-like. Difficult to see game life at time, and the roads can be rough. But the scenery of both parks is amazing . Particularly, the red elephants in Tsavo east and Mt Kilimanjaro sightings in Amboseli.
Nairobi has wonderful restaurants and malls, and Uber is used fairly. But don’t spend too long in Nairobi. 2 nights should do it.

Memorable experience
We had a fantastic experience on our trip to the Masai Mara. Raymond took us on tour drives and was an excellent communicator, answered all our questions about the animals, and was quick to jump on any opportunity to ensure we had a close view of the animals. In the two days we were there, we managed to see 4 of the big 5, which was amazing.
We were given three meals a day, including lunch on the days we were travelling which was a much-appreciated surprise.
We got the opportunity to visit a local Masai village (note to bring money if you want to do this, as they charged us an entry fee for it once we arrived) and learnt a bit about the Masai culture.
Camping was very basic ‘glamping’ style, and although we did have our own toilet the facilities were very basic. Also important to note that electricity was only available for a few hours during the day, and was turned off at around 10pm. We didn’t mind at all as we thought it was altogether fantastic value for money, and were expecting either something similar or potentially a bit worse. I’m mentioning it as it is worth noting for others who may be uncertain whether this tour is for them, and who may want to spend a bit more money for more luxury camping.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend this more. All the staff were friendly and amazing, and it was definitely a memorable experience!

Fessal is a kind gentle man with a proud love for his country and great english to be able to give l
I met Fessal while hé had not yet starten his own company so was working at that moment for another company but if O look at how hé was then, how enthousiastic and talkative I can only imagine with his own business hé is even more so.

A flexible operator, willing to deliver and adjust to our desires
Elida was recommended by our colleagues, and having to arrange details of the tour from abroad was no problem (with WhatsApp). They were willing to adjust to our specific demands, and we ended with a very enjoyable tour, mixing van, walking and riding safaris. Cost was as high as expected, with as few as possible extra to pay. While elephant and rhino were elusive, we had the opportunity to watch four lionesses hunting (but failing). Walking among zebras, gnous and velvet monkeys was a great experience, too!

Upcoming but kind, friendly and professional
Saja Safaris offers an exceptional safari experience that I thoroughly enjoyed. From the moment I contacted them to inquire about their services to the end of the safari trip, I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. The team headed by the bubbly Elvis at Saja Safaris went above and beyond to tailor the safari itinerary to my preferences, ensuring that I had an unforgettable adventure. He has yet to send me the photos he promised lol.
The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the local wildlife and ecosystems, with their off the whimsical animal anecdotes, provided fascinating insights into the animals world we encountered and the conservation efforts in the area. The accommodations provided by Saja Safaris were comfortable and well-appointed, allowing me to relax and unwind after exhilarating days of game drives and exploration. Let's not forget to mention the accent and Matooke. All was on point.
Overall, I highly recommend Saja Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable safari experience. Their dedication to customer satisfaction, coupled with their passion for wildlife and conservation, sets them apart as a top choice for safari enthusiasts. I look forward to planning my next adventure with Saja Safaris, if I ever get that all expenses paid trip again. But seriously there is a lot to learn about them wild cousins.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Matthias
It didn't have that wow factor you'd expect from reading about it or watching TV documentaries. Wildlife depends a lot on where the great migration is at the moment. You will still see animals (leopards, gepards, hyena, elefants, giraffe, gazelle, hippo) but not in abundance if you are not at the right spot. Also there are lots of tourist cars.
