TOP Safari
Also the third time again an absolute recommendation. The planning in advance, as well as the years before, was competent, uncomplicated, reliable, friendly, fairly priced... We were on the road for a total of 8 days (Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli). We had (again) a very nice and experienced guide, who our children also took to their hearts. We also saw a lot (leopard, cheetah, lions, rhinos, etc.). He was always open to all questions and was very responsive to our wishes. The choice of camps/lodges was perfect and we really enjoyed our time there. It wasn't the last safari for us, we will come a fourth time and will definitely book through Julius again.

Fantastic safari
I organized our first safari in Kenya with Julius and it was a great choice. I discussed and agreed with him a 5-day program from Nairobi to Diani crossing 4 parks: Amboseli, Tsawo west, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Tsavo east, sleeping every evening in a different camp (Kibo, Kilaguni, Saltlick and Ashnil).
The program we agreed upon was perfectly respected, exceeding all expectations. The driver George proved to be a very expert guide, pleasant and capable of identifying animals, even the most hidden ones, such as the 3 lionesses on the night trail at the Taita Hills. Julius was very attentive texting me every day to check that everything was ok. The Land Crusier Toyota, although not brand new, was still perfectly efficient and perfect for the purpose. I definitely recommend it.

Epic Safari Adventure with Guide George
I had the privilege of embarking on a remarkable safari adventure with Julius Tours, an experience that truly stood out. It all began with a simple WhatsApp message to Julius, and from that very moment, his responsiveness and eagerness to tailor the tour to accommodate not just my needs but also those of my friends were evident.
However, as fate would have it, my friends fell ill and regrettably couldn't join me on the Lake Nakuru National Park Safari tour. Undeterred, I decided to proceed solo, and what transpired was nothing short of incredible, largely due to the exceptional guidance of George, my trusty companion for two memorable days at Lake Nakuru.
From the moment George picked me up, punctuality was his forte, and his deep familiarity with the journey's nuances was evident. Despite the lengthy drive from Nairobi to Nakuru, George expertly navigated the labyrinth of Kenya's roads, deftly maneuvering through traffic snarls with ease.
George's expertise in locating wildlife was nothing short of remarkable. My primary interests were lions, giraffes, and rhinos, and over the course of those two days, we were fortunate enough to encounter all three.
One particular moment stands out: George's extraordinary patience. He suggested we wait for a group of lions resting in the grass, making them difficult to spot. We heeded his advice, and the reward was magical. The lions eventually shifted to a spot much closer to us, and witnessing their graceful saunter on the safari was a sight to behold.
However, the pinnacle of our adventure occurred during the final morning game drive. We chanced upon a pride of lions just after they had feasted, and the spectacle of them quenching their thirst at a watering hole was a rare and exhilarating sight. George explained that witnessing lions drinking water in the wild was an unusual occurrence, adding an extra layer of elation to our experience.
Throughout the safari, Julius, the tour's owner, periodically checked in to ensure everything was proceeding smoothly. This level of attentiveness and professionalism left an indelible mark.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Julius Tours to any safari enthusiast. Their professionalism, deep understanding of the safari experience, and commitment to safety and enjoyment make them a top choice for this incredible adventure.

Wonderful experience, happy to do it again!
We booked 14 days in Kenya + Tanzania with JT Safaris.
After our first inquiry, we quickly received good suggestions and the communication via email and whatsapp was unproblematic. Everything was well organized and went smoothly.
The camps and lodges were conveniently located and we liked them very much.
Our guide Dominic arranged everything for us on site and was great at finding animals and interesting places. His kind care and helpfulness made the trip easy for us.
Julius kept in touch almost daily via whatsapp. We had a wonderful trip and can recommend JT without reservation.

Unforgettable 5 days safari experience in Masai Mara for affordable price but best service !!!
We recently did a 5 days safari in Governors Camp at Masai Mara. Julius offered us a fair price with top service.
They picked us up from Diani Beach to Ukunda Air Strip to fly over to the Musiara Air Strip.
However, the pilot was a bit lost and only let us out at Ol Klombo Airstrip by mistake. Due to days of heavy rain, we were unable to get to Governors Camp by jeep.
After a short call to Julius with description of the problem, we had a driver who drove us to the nearby Mara Intrepids. There we got a coffee and were able to have a look at the lodge. As soon as we had finished our coffee, we were driven back to the air strip. A small plane was already waiting for us to continue our flight.
Only when problems arise you realize how much the booking with Julius was worth and what contacts he has to solve our problem in the shortest possible time!
After 5 unforgettable days at Governors Camp, we returned to Diani Beach. Everything went absolutely smoothly. Julius' drivers were incredibly nice and very punctual. The driving was fast, but always careful. My wife even fell asleep during the drive, which doesn't happen to her when I drive ;-)
As we had changed hotels after the safari, Julius kept our luggage for us for the duration of the safari. Apart from the fair price for an unforgettable experience, Julius didn't charge anything for the extras, but took them for granted.
As Dixon our safari driver is retiring in 5 years we have promised to visit him again before retiring !!!
Of course via Julius....
Many, many thanks again and see you and your team soon !!!

Available, prepared and attentive to customer requests
Our tour included a visit to the two parks Tsavo West and Tsavo East departing from Diani Beach with an Italian speaking driver and private jeep. The first stop in Tsavo West after a very good lunch of Swahili food (chosen by us from the various proposals). They escorted us to the beautiful room on stilts at Salt Lick Taita Hills. Highly recommended for the view and the presence of elephants. The safaris were also exciting thanks to our guide GeraGera, a true expert on animals, plants and a point of reference for all the other guides who traveled around the parks. In the second park, Tsavo East, we stayed at the Ashinil Aruba Lodge also immersed in the park with very kind and attentive staff. Different setting however characteristic and very clean. In the two parks we were lucky enough to meet every type of animal, from lions, elephants, gazelles, buffaloes, hippos, crocodiles, jackals, eagles, giraffes, zebras, we only missed the leopard . The organization of Julius Tact Safari was impeccable and highly regarded by the local structures. Recommended and to be repeated

A superb and unique experience
A big thank you to Julius Tact Safaris, they provided a superb safari for my husband and I in late February. They provided a 14 day itinerary including pick-up at Nairobi airport, then two night stays at Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Aberdares, Ol Pejeta, Samburu, Meru, then return to Nairobi for a day in Nairobi National park, supper at the Carnivore and drop-off at the airport.
Julius was very helpful and responsive, working at short notice to develop and fine-tune the itinerary with a driver / guide, Landcruiser included, plus hotel bookings. The overall cost was very reasonable for a private tour. We paid a deposit of 50% by bank transfer and the balance by cash when we arrived. Throughout our tour, Julius kept in touch daily to ensure that everything was OK.
Our driver / guide, Dominic was excellent, kind, patient and hard-working. We started early and finished late most days to make the most of the best game viewing opportunities. We were not disappointed!
Julius Tact Safaris provided a superb and unique experience.
Thank You. Highly Recommended.
