Tman! Excellent guide, knowledgeable and fun. We saw so many animals and learned all about them.
Tman worked very hard to make sure we not only saw as many animals as possible but enjoyed the drive too. We really enjoyed how all the tour guides cooperated together and seemed to really enjoy the people and respect the natural habitat.
I highly recommend the company, the tour and the guide.

Honeymoon Safari
We had a really good experience with Jambo Masai Tours overall. Communication was good throughout, and our guide, Shaban, was great. He listened to what we wanted to see and made a real effort to tailor the safari around that.
The accommodation was generally very good, with the exception of one place that wasn’t quite to the same standard as the others. Overall, we felt the safari itself was good value for money and we really enjoyed the experience.
The only thing I probably wouldn’t recommend is the hot air balloon experience, as we didn’t feel it was worth the additional cost. Aside from that, we were very happy with the safari and would recommend Jambo Masai Tours.

Excellent
Kelvin is an absolutely amazing safari guide!He has an incredible eye for spotting animals from a great distance and can accurately predict their movements, always positioning the vehicle perfectly for the best views. He also went above and beyond to help us find the specific animals （lions, cheetah, leopard, bat eared fox）we were hoping to see.Since our English is limited, Kelvin was extremely thoughtful and patient. He explained all the fascinating wildlife information using simple words, which we appreciated so much.We are incredibly happy and satisfied with this safari experience. If you are planning a trip, we highly recommend Kelvin as your guide!

Such a great company & guide!
We went on a 14-day safari (Samburu, Ol Pejete, Lake Nakuru, Mara North Conservancy/Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli), entirely with Beyond the Plains (except in the conservancy, where we were required to use a local guide). This company was a pleasure to work with, and our guide Douglas was a surpassing gem! Andrew was very responsive to emails as we were setting up the trip, answering any questions promptly and fully. He did a great job helping structure a trip for us that was just what we were looking for. Douglas is a superlative guide; he won't tell you this intentionally, but he is one of only 25 Gold-level guides in all Kenya. Exceedingly knowledgeable, friendly, cheerful, accommodating, and a very good driver. We didn't realize how good until we rode with someone else for 90 minutes or so to get to a separate excursion one day--a good driver is essential on safari roads!
We would 100% recommend this company, and hope to safari with them (and Douglas!) again one day.

Amazing Guide
We booked a 7-day safari with Khareem via African Migration Ventures, and overall had a fantastic experience.
We booked through Amos, who was very flexible and accommodating when our flights had to be rebooked to different dates due to the situation in the Middle East. He rearranged everything at no extra cost, which we really appreciated. The booking process itself was smooth, although there were a couple of mix-ups with the accommodation, and on two occasions we were provided with accommodation that was different from (and slightly lower in quality than), what we had originally agreed. The documentation that Amos sent, and the narrative wrote in the literature, did cause some confusion, as we had went to Tanzania to see the Great Migration, which the itinerary mentions throughout (and the name of the company alludes too), so not being able to witness this was sad. So just as a point to improve on for the company )perhaps a little less use of AI might be helpful), as well as potential safari-ers when you’re booking.
The safari vehicle was definitely an older model, and this showed at times, as we broke down on several occasions, our guide had to do hasty repairs, and were rescued by three different tour guides! However, we honestly took this as part of the safari adventure, and it didn’t spoil the experience for us at all.
Our guide, Khareem, was absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly kind, friendly and gentle, and made us feel very well looked after throughout the trip. He ensured that we saw all of the Big Five, while also doing his best to accommodate our requests to see specific other animals.
Khareem made sure that our first safari certainly won’t be our last. We had a fantastic experience overall, and if we ever book another safari with African Migration Ventures, we would definitely ask for Khareem specifically.

very professional
Although we chose this company for its affordability, they delivered a wonderful safari experience in the Masai Mara.
Our guide and driver, Clinton, was highly professional throughout the trip.
The organization was clear and precise, the driving was safe, the food was very decent, and the tents at Miti Mingi Camp were very functional.
We saw plenty of animals during a long day of game drives.
Honestly, we have no complaints—we highly recommend them 👍

Jocky tour nice and reliable
We had a truly delightful tour with Geeman, filled with wonderful experiences for the whole family. Communication with Jocky Tour beforehand was also seamless; they responded very quickly to emails and made it easy to organize the itinerary exactly as we wanted. Our guide was very attentive and helpful in every regard; he went out of his way to give us a close-up view of all the animals. We thank you for everything.
