5 day, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli - mid range
A big thanks to Naomi and Paul for this wonderful tour. Very smooth tour (except for a hiccup at amboseli, which we ended up sorting out). We went with a mid range option and am very glad we did. The accomodations were incredible. Particularly Osero Camp in Masai Mara. But all were fantastic, and offered great food.
Our favourite park was Masai Mara, the wildlife is so abundant, we saw so many things just driving to camp!
I would skip Lake Naivasha next time, it was a nice place, but didn't offer nearly as much as Masai Mara. We chose the boat ride option, and would recommend skipping it. It's expensive for what you get. You see hippo in Masai Mara and Amboseli.
Amboseli was amazing for the view. There are also so many elephant here, we saw a group of 60 at one point, incredible.
We were well looked after with this tour company and recommend it to other travellers.

3 days Masai Mara Safari!! The place itself just makes everything worth it, but the cherry on top was just the amazing service provided by Heritage of African Jungles. Naomi, our coordinator, was very flexible in preparing our trip as we wanted it and the communication was just great. She for sure understood and exceeded our requests. Franz our game driver in the Safari was also very nice, with lots of knowledge of the camp and the animals.
When I go back again to Kenya, I have no doubts I will make all of my tours with them.

Fantastic 3 days private Safari in Masai Mara with our guide Francis
Naomi was great! We booked the safari very last minute, just the day before, and Naomi was able to organize everything at the top of the service.
Our guide Francis picked us up early in the morning and was great in organzing the entire game drives. We did the first game drive in the late afternoon and had a glimpse of the beautiful panorama of the Masai Mara. The next morning we had a whole day game drive. We were able to see all the animals at sunrise and it was beautiful! We had lunch under a tree in this amazing park and continued discovering animals and nature in the afternoon.
The last day we had an early game drive and drove back to Nairobi.
I highly recommend the amazing service of Naomi. The hotel was also great and beautiful.
It’ really worth it!!

Excellent service
We booked our 4 day safari trip for Masai Mara and Nakuru with Heritage of African jungles. One of our friends recommended them to us and after exchanging many mails we decided to book our trip with them. Naomi patiently answered our queries and gave us a good tailor made plan. Naomi received us in the airport and made us feel welcome to their country. Our driver Francis was excellent. He has good knowledge of the wild ..was very friendly and disciplined .He showed us all the big 5 and made the trip very memorable for us. We highly recommend their services and are looking forward for our next Africa trip with them in a couple of years.

Professional Service and Guidance
We booked our Kenyan safari with "Heritage of African Jungles" and it was well planned and organised by them and we spend a week from 23rd June to 29th June-2018 and we are very happy with the service that they provided to us. We will definitely recommend their service to our Sri Lankan friends if someone wishes to visit Kenya. Special thanks to Peter, for his extended support given to us when locating and identifying birds. I guess he is the perfect fit for our safari. We saw most of the big animals, except leopard, but that is the nature, you have to accept what nature offers to you. The lunch on last day was not a part of our tour package, but they were generous enough to provide us the lunch at L. Naivasha on 29th. We are very much appreciating that.
We recommend "Heritage of African Jungles" as one of the best tour organisers that we have met.

Excellent service, amazing safari
We would like to highly recommend Naomi and her Team. She has made all our wishes come true and she has reacted perferctly to all our changes which we made at short notice. She gave us the best price-performance offer compared to approx. 20 other companies. Communication and realization were very smooth. We would also like to thank especially our driver, Francis. He does his job with heart and sould and has given us a lot of unforgottable moments during our Safari. Thank you very much. Tanja and Drago

This I will remember for the rest of my life
We had a lovely experience in Kenya with this company. They had chosen the parks to visit very wisely and our driver Francis was a fantastic guy and provided us with a lot of nice info and facts and knew his way around. We were slightly confused when arriving to Nairobi and our contact was nowhere to be seen, but they arrived soon enough. Also one of our lodges was a bit less than perfect (the rest were simply perfect!), but that was due to us booking the safari so late and the better lodges already booked full.
This company gave us a way better deal (private tour, cheap) than the other offers we got and I cannot recommend them more! If I would go again, this would be the company I choose.

Considerate, careful and wonderful travel
I contacted 40 travel agencies to make quotes and plans for our trip. Naomi responded to me very fastest, She helped me plan the trips and hotels ,She arranged for us plan were very beautiful and affordable. We are going to Africa for the first time So we have many questions. Naomi is very attentive and responds to all our questions in a timely manner via email.Our English is not good, she will try our best to let us know. She arranged the itinerary for Kenya and Tanzania. The driver guide Peter can always meet our requirements. The animals and the scenery are very good, and take good care of us. During the trip to Tanzania, we had some problems with another driver. Naomi Was very quick to help us solve it. We are very grateful. If we come to Africa again, we will choose Heritage of African Jungles again.

They made our trip a very good and impressive experience for the Kenya Safari!
It was our first trip to Kenya and I was very frustrated when finding a tour operator there as I have no idea on this kind of business there while having to do everything online. Finding Heritage of African Jungles is a good luck for me and my crew. They are very responsive and reliable since they one when I requested for price proposal. With better price comparing to other offers, they could provide a nice accommodation.
We had some changes before the trips such as number of people for few times but they could accommodate us any way we wanted. The transportation looks a bit old but in very good conditions. The drivers (we went on two trips with different drivers) had high experience and skills, especially the one to Maasai Mara as the road condition was not good but he knew what to do. Naomi is also helpful and backstop us from Nairobi at all time. Payment was also easy using both credit card (for deposit) and cash when we firstly arrived. I really recommend this tour operator if you are looking for a Safari trip in Kenya!

Excellent organization, wonderful safari. Highly recommended!
We embarked on a 10 safari together with Heritage of African Jungles and our holidays were amazing thanks to Naomi, Francis and Gift.
We found Heritage of African Jungles after careful screening of companies organizing safaris in Kenya and Tanzania. From the very beginning of our inquires Naomi appeared as a very knowledgable and helpful person. We decided to go for a mid-range personalized safari and she offered us all her knowledge to help craft the best itinerary possible. Her replies were always rapid and extensively answered all questions.
When we arrived to Nairobi she greeted us personally and briefed us once more for our trip. After that, Francis, our guide, took over. He is one of the best human beings we ever met and definitely is in the top tier of safari guides in Kenya. His knowledge about national parks, animals, local culture was extensive, but most importantly he didn't treat us as another customers. Instead, we were his best friends visiting his country and he kindly and with joy offered to show it us. Wonderful experience, if you go with Heritage of African Jungles, you should ask Francis to be your guide.
In Tanzania our guide was Gift and he was also great.
All vehicles were in a good condition and we had no problems with them. Lodges were we slept were great and offered nice mix of camps, lodges, basics and deluxe. We are vegetarian and food was always great and cooks went extra mile to satisfy our antelope-like tastes ;)
I highly recommend Heritage of African Jungles for your safari operator. We will be coming back to them.
