Unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience
5/5

From the moment I was greeted at the airport by Charles to being dropped back off 10 days later, this was truly a once in a lifetime and incredible experience delivered by Charles and his team. Throughout the booking process, they had communicated extremely promptly and were very flexible to our own plans, timeline and desired itinerary - guiding and advising us through this process. Arriving a few days earlier than the rest of my group, Charles went out of his way to greet me at the airport and help me plan and organise various activities that are very difficult to do from abroad (e.g. booking a train ticket to Mombasa) - this was fantastic service and above and beyond.

The tour itself was an incredible experience - all of the accommodation and food was top, and a special thanks for making sure the vegetarian in our party had plenty of options in advance. Our driver and guide, Jon, was extremely knowledgeable, an amazing spotter of animals and always seemed to be in the right place at the right time! By the end of the trip he felt like one of the group and it was sad to leave him behind! Thank you Jon for making the trip so incredible - thanks to him we were able to see literally every animal we had dreamed of - cheetahs, lions, leopards, rhinos, hippos, elephants and many many more.

Thank you Jamlan Holiday Safaris for an unforgettable and once in a lifetime experience!

Unforgettable Mara safari with Jamlan
5/5

Amazing safari experience at Masai Mara with Jamlan tours! Charles arranged a 7 day private tour for our family of five adults to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli. Charles was extremely helpful with the safari arrangements & even with arranging internal train bookings. Both Charles & Isabella were there to greet us at the airport & to help with formalities. Our guide & driver John, a Masai himself, made our safari a memorable experience with his knowledge of the parks & patience answering all our questions. We were able to see all of the big five and more during our safari. The accommodation arrangements were mostly good, with some minor glitches. We thoroughly enjoyed our Safari experience with Jamlan tours and absolutely recommend Charles & his team for visiting Kenya. Thanks Charles & John for a wonderful safari experience.

Very responsive
5/5

Our family had a wonderful time in Kenya. Bella was very responsive and always answered my messages quickly. If I had one suggestion, it is to have more discussion with Jamlan upfront about desires, needs, travel times between locations, and modes of transportation. We were not expecting to spend as much time traveling as we did. That was not the fault of our agent, but perhaps we’d have developed an itinerary better matched to our family’s needs had we had more discussion at the beginning with Jamlan. Kenya is an amazing country with much to see and experience!

10 out of 10!
5/5

Wonderful Safari experience! Everything arranged for us in advance by Isabella. All we did was arrive in Kenya at the airport - everything from that point on was covered, from transportation to food to water to lodging to a spectacular guide named Philip. We felt safe and cared for in every way. What a beautiful experience up close with the animals. Life-changing!

Excellent journey and unforgettable experience in Maasai Mara
5/5

We booked a 3-day trip with Jamlan and the lodge we stayed at 1st night was fully booked. So Isabella recommended another luxury camp to us which was much surprisingly fantastic. The driver/tour guide is experienced and kind. The balloon company they booked was also professional. I will rate 10 out of 10 to the journey we had.

5/5

I and my sisters took a safari with Jamlan holiday safaris in December 2022 and had an amazing experience! Our guide George was so kind and comical that we enjoyed every bit of the safari. We saw all the big five and several other animals.
The food and the accomodations were top notch! Charles who helped plan the safari was always responsive and swift. He incorporated our ideas in planning and executing our safari Thank you so much Team Jamlan holiday safaris, you are the best!

Very professional, committed, organised and result oriented!
5/5

My family and I booked a 6 day private tour in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli with Jamlan Holiday Safaris. Isabellah was always available to answer to our questions both on mail and WhatsApp. We asked her to suggest for us good midrange accommodations which she did perfectly at a fair price.
The land cruiser that we travelled in was in good shape and George our guide was so knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife. He answered all our questions and was a good driver too. We took a hot air balloon safari in Masai Mara.
Accomodations and foods were good. The staff in the hotels were also welcoming made sure we felt comfortable.
I recommend this company to anybody planning to visit Kenya.

Best safari ever!

This was my third safari in the Kenyan parks and I must admit it is the best of all. Even though it was a group tour, it exceeded my expectations. The tour was well planned by Isabellah despite booking on a short notice. Our guide George was very knowledgeable about the wild animals and where to find them within the parks. He listened to our concerns and made sure we were all comfortable. I sincerely recommend this company will God willing book a private tour with them again next year.

Excellent trip ever.
5/5

Amazing experience with Jamlan Holiday Safaris!

We want to say big THANK YOU to Team Jamlan Holiday Safaris as we had a great experience with them. Our 7-day Safari to Samburi National reserve, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Our driver-guide Omosh made our trip unforgettable and enjoyable. We managed to see the Big 5 alongside other wildlife. I loved Masai Mara most. Next time I would prefer 4 days in Masai Mara. Our tour was perfectly planned and organized, we stayed in perfect and luxury camps.
It was unique and unforgettable tour! Thank you Isabellah for your planning & organization skills. I will still choose Jamlan Holiday Safaris.
