Wow is the best way to describe my experience this past week with Marurumi Safaris.
At all times, James went above and beyond the expectations of a safari guide. He has been guiding for a long time, knows where the best spots are to take you, and his English is flawless.
We did the 4 day Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, budget tour. We spent a lot of time browsing options before booking our trip and we are so grateful we chose this tour.
James, the owner of the company was our guide. He was timely on pickups, flexible with the schedule and allowed us to see more than we would have with any other guide.
During the first evening game drive, he got us up close to a black rhino, family of elephants, multiple groups of giraffes, zebras and more. The best part of the evening was the endless amount of cool facts James knew off the top of his head about each animal. Watching the sun set over the savanna while watching ostriches run right in front of our tour van was also a highlight.
Every restaurant he brought us to had great food, a nice private seating, an awesome vibe, and great scenery views. The safari accommodations were by far the nicest and cleanest places we stayed in Nairobi, which was a perk as well. I also appreciated his dedication to cleaning out the van every night, restocking the water cooler, and giving us the option of what time to start the day. We usually started between 6:45-7:45am.
The last 3 days were a blur of good experiences as well… the next day game drive was BEYOND exciting, our van was 10 feet away from with a lion eating a zebra for breakfast, then we saw hippos, leopards, gazelles, hyenas, warthogs, the Tanzania border, parked in the road and had a family of ~13 lions walk around us (on either side), had an awesome picnic lunch and then learned about the Masai culture with a personal tour guide and by visiting a village.
The lake navasha tour was super unique, being on the boat and seeing eagles swoop to grab fish right besides our boat, and cruising past hippos at sunset was amazing.
I highly recommend the Hells Gate Bicycle tour, as we biked past zebras and giraffes, saw some rock climbing, collected obsidian rocks, and learned about the history of the Hells Gate national park.
The short hike at the end of the bike tour had jaw dropping views of Africas version of the Grand Canyon.
Last but definitely not least we had the opportunity to do a walking safari before heading back to town… standing 5-10 ft away from giraffes, zebras, antelope and more was an unexpected and amazing surprise. Seeing a 7 hour old zebra and a 8 day old giraffe was precious.
To top it all off, after dropping us off at our hotel that evening, James offered to take us to the train station the next afternoon at 3pm.
All in all, James and his team are amazing and if you ever get the chance- book a safari with Marurumi safaris, it won’t disappoint you!!

Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating.
The entire booking process with Super Eagles was very smooth. It was so comfortable to work with Richard to make the booking and during the safari we appreciated the valuable inputs from him and Simon. I highly recommend them to travellers looking to book excursions.

Amazing Experience, book now!
Amazing experience and reliable tour company. I booked our trip through Raphael on WhatsApp and the process was so easy! Everything was customizable and easy to adjust based on my group’s preference. We chose a private mid range 7 day safari and was perfect!! Our tour guide Ernest, was professional and made sure we saw everything on our list. He was patient and ensured our expectations were realistic and met. Every lodge we went to was amazing and the lunches we had were scrumptious. Highly recommend booking with Safari soles!!

Our guide, Gilbert, who is super experienced and expertise on animal, he always full of passions to search and introduce animals, the most amazing part is he is such a lucky person who drive us to meet all animals on our wish list! Really happy to have Gilbert be our guide to make us a wonderful memorial Tanzania!!
Super helpful and responsive
Whilst we didn't end up going on a tour with Indigo Safaris I wanted to write a short review to say how amazing and responsive Kerry Wyatt and the team were. We set them an almost impossible task and Kerry was on to it and came back with excellent options. From that experience I would have no concerns booking a tour with Indigo Safaris when we go to Africa.

Did a 7-days safarutour with an excellent driver. The company was really helpful if you needed any help during the tour. I would say 6-day tour is enough, the last day is a bit the same as the others. But reakly nice safari, the massaivillage was lovely, the living was better then expected! Almost the same food everyday but it teasted well.

2 Week Family Private Safari with Ezekiel
We are a family with extensive East Africa safari experience. We chose Suricata to design and deliver a private custom 2 week safari. Focussed on game viewing in the Serengeti. Suricata Exceeded our high expectations through Ezekiel, out guide and driver. He has great knowledge of all things Tanzanian. And continuously varied the experience to explore all corners of the Serengeti. They organized stays in Elewana camps, which we highly recommend. Compared to the bigger luxury operators, we think Suricata delivers better value and customized experiences.
