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.

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.

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.

JT delivered great services for Safaris trip
The trip was amazing. Lodging Accommodations are great although we didn't spend much time rather than sleep. Great food with caring staffs at all the lodges. We had 4×4 and experienced driver/tour guide. Since Roads are rough, 4×4 is a must. Our driver George knew his roads well, knew where to find animals. We saw a lot of animals even the lion hunting and the kills. Drives from one park to another is rather long. But it worth seeing the country side. Communication was a little delayed at times from JT, but expected as we are in different continent. Overall, Julius is very accommodating to our needs. I would highly recommend JT Safari and George the driver. We all had a great experience.

Trip of a lifetime!
We have just had the most incredible week in Kenya on safari organised by Julius and his team. I contacted Julius after deciding that using a local tour guide was the best option for us, in March .We had booked our flights but didn’t quite know how to proceed. Julius quickly came back with a suggested itinerary that would make the best use of the time we had, possible places to stay and prices, which seemed so reasonable, we didn’t bother looking elsewhere! I have to say that I was slightly nervous about sending a large deposit by bank transfer to someone I hadn’t met, all the things you are told not to do! However we were reassured by the trip advisor reviews and our trust wasn’t misplaced! Harrison, our guide, met us at our airport hotel and we put ourselves into his capable hands. He drove us to all the parks , gave us fantastic information about both the country and the many animals and Through a combination of his skill and knowledge and good fortune ( after all when you are dealing with wild animals nothing is guaranteed! )we got to see the big 5 and so much more, coming away with some amazing photos. We can’t speak highly enough of Harrison and the way he looked after us all week. Julius checked in regularly by WhatsApp and calls which was very much appreciated we really felt like we got excellent service that worth every penny that we had paid
Fantastic Service from JT Safaris
This was probably one of the most memorable holidays I have ever had, thanks to the detail and organisation by Julius and his team. I had previously sourced quotes from some UK travel companies, but these were all for shared, small group safaris. I really wanted a private safari and, after a lot of research, I decided to contact JT Safaris. To my surprise, Julius provided me with a quote for a private safari in the Masai Mara and a beach stay in Diani at much less than the previous quotes for the shared safaris. This included all internal flights, transfers etc so all we had to do was arrange our flights to Nairobi. Initially I was a little sceptical at booking something that I knew very little about but I was reassured by other reviews. At times communication was a little slow but I have since learnt that this is just how things are in Kenya - the internet can be intermittent and Julius is a busy man. Do not worry if he doesn't get back to you immediately - he will definitely make sure that everything is organised. I was also a little worried about transferring a large amount of money to an unknown company, but transferring via Revolut was quick and easy. As promised, we were picked up by our drivers at every point in the holiday and felt safe and secure at all times. The highlight of the trip had to be our safari driver Harrison, who is just the nicest man! He made sure that we had the trip of a lifetime and worked tirelessly to meet our needs. We learnt so much from him about the animals and the Kenyan way of life. He had a great sense of humour and amazed us with how much he knew about the Masai Mara roads. As a result of this, we managed to see the Big 5 and so many more! Our accommodation at both Fig Tree Camp and Diani Sea Resort was fantastic - again all organised by Julius who also came to visit us at Diani to check that everything was ok.
If you are looking for a bespoke service with everything organised for you then this is the company to book with. In addition to this, you will get a great price and memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you Julius, Harrison and your team.
Perfect Safari with JT!
The journey has been wonderful! Thanks to Julius who organized everything perfectly! We had the best guide Abdul - polite, attentive, funny and supportive. We spent 10 days on safari, traveling from park to park. All accommodation was excellent, no complaints.

Efficient, caring and excellent
We booked our 3 day 2 night safari to the Masaai Mara through JT Safaris before we had left home for our holiday because JT offers great service and price! Actually this is the second time we had booked a safari with JT Safaris as we were impressed with the service on our first booking.
The booking was smooth and easy. Julius kept in touch on WhatsApp so that communication was good.
The safari at Governor's Camp was fantastic, as much wildlife as you would want to see including the big 5.
We can't thank JT Safaris enough and recommend to anyone thinking of booking a safari in Kenya.

Amazing Masai Mara Experience
The safari in Masai Mara was wonderful. The agency had everything quite organized. The Fig Tree Camp was amazing!! Great food, the tents are great and comfortable, the service is outstanding. There are so many trees and a beautiful river, so it is a great place for birding....
My guide was Lucky. He is a Masai and knows so much about wildlife and also he is an expert on birds which was a big plus for me!!! I also learned a lot from him about the Masai culture.
I was a solo traveller and I felt quite comfortable. I really recommend Julius Safaris as a serious agency with high standards that offers good prices for the safaris!!
