A family safari beyond expectations: Marurumi Safaris is highly recommended
We had a truly amazing safari adventure with Marurumi Safaris, and felt so safe and comfortable from the very first contact and throughout our safari.
We are a family of four, with two girls aged 15 and 18. We chose the 6-day tour exploring Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Each park had their own character, both in terms of nature and wildlife, so I would definitely advise to explore more than one park when on safari in Kenya. The drive through the countryside from park to park was also a huge part of the experience, seeing the African daily life unfold.
We stayed at Sopa Lodge in Amboseli and Nakuru, Mtito Mara Camp in Masai Mara and Sopa Resort in Naivasha. They were all very lovely and clean, with great food and service. The latter had sebras, giraffes and waterbucks roaming freely around the hotel premises, and lots of hippos coming up to grass at night, inside a fenced area for safety.
We reached out to Marurumi Safaris with our date of arrival and departure in Nairobi, and brief wishes for the safari experience. They tailor made the trip for us, including all accommodation, transport, game drives and other experiences. Everything was thought through and taken care of, and communication was great.
We were greeted at the airport by our guide/driver John and Ivy from the office. John was an excellent guide, very friendly and experienced, sharing insight into the wildlife in addition to Kenyan culture and everyday life. Half way through our safari, John had to attend to urgent family matters, so James, the owner of Marurumi Safaris, stepped in as our guide. He was just as experienced and friendly as John, and we had many interesting and insightful conversations.
After a week on safari with Marurumi ,we are left with our cameras and minds full of amazing memories and experiences. We got to see all the big five, including several close encounters with the "lion king". Amboseli's big tusker Craig is another highlight - and so many more.
We give Marurumi Safaris our warmest recommendations!
Marurumi made this trip absolutely breathtaking
We really enjoyed our trip to Kenya, James from Marurumi Safari made it special - he showed outstanding knowledge of his country, shared with us some fascinating stories about Kenyans and animals, made us fell in love with the country. Absolutely recommended. Tip: don’t plan activities for absolutely every day, just make sure to stay in one of the beautiful lodges, relax and take your time! Marurumi will make every day you plan special.
6 DAY SUPER SAFARI
We organized this fantastic Safari thanks to the help and experience of Maruruni Safaris, which we selected after contacting several agencies! A perfect choice! The itinerary I proposed to them included two days in Amboseli, the park that surprised us the most for the variety of environments, a walking safari on the shores of Lake Naivasha, a game drive in Lake Nakuru park, where we were able to admire the rhinos and, for the grand finale, the Masai Mara, the park that most of all stimulated our dreams of adventure and that fully met the high expectations we had. James was a superb guide, demonstrating great knowledge of the habitats we visited, a rare sensitivity with our 5-year-old child and infinite patience in trying to tell us about Kenya despite our poor knowledge of English. The itinerary was certainly intense but it allowed us to see the big five and the ugly five. Personally I think it would be difficult to ask for more from this unforgettable experience.
In addition to the safari, we asked to organize for the day we arrived in Nairobi, a one-day tour with three stops: the Kibera slum (a crazy experience that showed us a world without filters, truly far from our daily life), a visit to the giraffe center (overrated, especially going to see giraffes in their habitat), a visit to the Nairobi street kitchen (a cluster of catering and artisanal activities in a truly well-organized location, even if very European in its target). Finally, I would like to truly thank all the little Maruruni for the beautiful adventures that she made us live and the precious memories that we will hold dear forever!

Great experience!
Great experience. From the first contact, communication was very good. They adapted the script according to my request. Robie is the most polite and helpful guide you can find. Thank you very much.
Wonderful experience!
Good communications, always response on time by email. Good service, our guide James was very kind and experienced, we were able to see all the animals we wanted to see including the big five during our safaris! The whole trip was in very good value for money as well! I will recommend this company and our guide James to everyone who wants a great experience in Kenya!
