Destination expert for both Kenya and Tanzania
We went to both Kenya and Tanzania in an epic road trip we knew we were in for long drives and rough roads and that we would be worn out each day.
The guides, the lodge hosts, the rangers, the Masai Boma hosts and all the people at every stop along the way made it all worth it, we loved meeting everyone and getting to know their story feeling like meeting an old friend after a long time. Seeing the animals was a bonus of an epic road trip combining culture land scape and of course wildlife passing through Masai Mara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti!
We had the privilege to see all off the Africas big 5 in Serengeti in a single day, as well as cheetahs hunting and hyena having a buffalo lunch.
This will stay with us forever and we would like to thank particularly Stanley for organising it as well as both of our guides for sharing their knowledge and driving countless hours along the way whilst feeding us!

Incredible experience
We booked a three night safari at Umkumbe Bush Lodge through Safari Life. The accomodation and safari were breathtaking and the transfers we added to the booking made the whole experience smooth and seamless. Johan had brilliant communication throughout the whole booking process, in the run up to the trip and even during the trip too. Thank you!!!

An Unforgettable Journey Through Eastern and Southern Ethiopia
Starting on October 24, 2026, we spent a total of 15 days traveling through the eastern and southern regions of Ethiopia—a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience.
We would like to especially highlight our guide, Philimon, whose empathy, expertise, and dedication—combined with his deep knowledge and genuine intuition for the country and its people—made our journey so special. Thanks to him, we were able to gather many unique impressions and enjoy truly authentic experiences.
We also owe a great deal of credit to the agency for their professional trip planning and their consistently pleasant, reliable communication. We were particularly impressed by their flexibility: due to the current situation, some last-minute changes and adjustments were necessary, all of which were handled quickly, seamlessly, and with great professionalism.
Our personal wishes and preferences were always taken into account, and we felt well-cared for and supported throughout the entire trip.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for the outstanding organization, the personal attention, and this exceptional journey. We can recommend this agency without reservation!

Great three-day Maasai Mara safari with an excellent guide
I did the 3-day budget safari to the Maasai Mara and had a great time. The park was fantastic and we managed to see all of the Big Five.
Our driver and guide, Solomon, was excellent. He was very experienced and knew the park really well, so he could quickly get us to some of the best places to see wildlife. He also had a very good knowledge of the animals and was happy to answer lots of questions. His driving was particularly good, which was important as we had quite a bit of rain on both afternoons and some of the tracks were very muddy. He also had a good rapport with the other drivers and camp staff.
Overall, Jungleroam were very organised and communication was excellent. They responded quickly to questions and everything worked out well.
The only minor downside was a little uncertainty around the transport arrangements. I hadn't realised that my initial pickup would be by a separate driver in an ordinary car rather than the safari vehicle. The first I knew was when the driver contacted me on WhatsApp. Everything was fine and very efficient, but being in an unfamiliar country, I was a little unsure at first.
Similarly, some people in our group were doing longer safaris, and I didn't initially realise that I would be transferred to a vehicle operated by another company for the return journey to Nairobi while the others continued to Lake Nakuru. Again, this all worked well, but a little more information beforehand would have been reassuring. Importantly, Jungleroam organised and paid for the alternative transport, so everything was covered as promised.
These were only minor things and didn't detract from what was a really enjoyable safari. I'd happily recommend Jungleroam, and particularly Solomon as a guide.

Great tour organizer and guide
We had a great experience with Steve. He helped us putting together our tour package for a 2 day private Tsavo east Trip and stay at voi Safari Lodge and a Landcruiser. Communication was easy and quick via Whatsapp. Steve picked us up at our apartment to finalize the booking. The tour itself was great - Steve as our guide went above and beyond to give us a great experience. Our driver was very professional and the Landcruiser a treat - nice and clean. We got value for money. Steve was always on time - mostly even earlier. Communication during the safari was great - we always knew what is planned and when.
We saw the big 4 - going without an expectations - we saw lions, on both days - having eaten and hunting. Buffalos, giraffes, zebras, even a leopard. And many more animals. We always had plenty time to view the animals and Steve and the driver made an effort to find even more animals.
Great experience.

Phenomenal experience with reliable, competent service, before, during, and after the trip
This was our first safari experience, and also our first trip where we didn't plan all the details ourselves. This was also our most expensive trip so far. And Excel handled every part of the trip from planning, booking, and service during the trip itself very well. It can feel scary to hand over $$$ to a tour operator and hope everything goes well. But Nancy and her team at Excel were great stewards of our money, and did a wonderful job with making this a trip of a lifetime for us.
The single biggest factor that makes or breaks a trip is the quality of your safari guide. Nancy and her team at Excel made sure we had incredible guides that made our trip a great one.
Planning: Nancy and team worked with us patiently to iterate over multiple itinerary options as we played around with different combinations of parks, accommodations, and travel, until we landed on an itinerary that we were happy with. They answered our questions promptly by WhatsApp and were always happy to answer one more question. They had good feedback on what would feel like an overly tight schedule, vs what would feel like too much time in a place. They had good insights about the trade-offs for the tier of lodge and cost. And they were good at recommending parks and lodges based on desired experience.
During the trip: Nancy or her team were in touch with us constantly during the trip during parts that required travel logistics and coordination. It all went off smoothly. We never felt a moment of doubt or apprehension about what the next step might be. They found us excellent guides. The safari experience itself was excellent. And great pro-tip about trying a hot air balloon safari in Masai Mara instead of over the Tanzanian side of the same park.
If and when we go on safari in east Africa again, we would go through Nancy and Excel in a heartbeat. We would be happy to support this woman-owned local business again. Thank you.

Excellent
We had an incredible safari experience with Africa’s Wild Wonders! Our guide, Fred, was fantastic, knowledgeable, patient, and always determined to give us the best wildlife experiences.
The absolute highlight was witnessing the Great Migration river crossing, something we had dreamed of seeing for years and had always been on our bucket list. Watching thousands of wildebeest cross the river was simply breathtaking and an experience we will never forget.
Everything was well organised, and Fred made the entire safari even more special. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Operator was super reactive and helpful! Kind and open for any question!
The best safari guide ever! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I honestly couldn't have asked for a better guide for my three days in Akagera National Park!
Taufique is simply THE BEST. His dedication, passion, and knowledge of the park and its wildlife are absolutely exceptional. He knows every corner of Akagera, every hidden spot, and exactly where to look to give you the best possible chance of seeing incredible animals.
Thanks to his experience and sharp eye, I got to see animals I never even imagined I would spot! He went above and beyond to make every single game drive special, always taking the time to explain everything, share fascinating facts, and make sure I had the most amazing experience.
Beyond his incredible expertise, Taufique is genuinely kind, attentive, patient, and wonderful company. You can tell he truly loves what he does, and that makes all the difference.
Three unforgettable days, countless incredible wildlife encounters, and a true five-star safari experience! 
If you're visiting Akagera, do yourself a favour and ask for Taufique. I genuinely cannot recommend him enough! 
Thank you so much, Taufique, for making this adventure so special! 🦒🐘🦁
