A superb and unique experience
5/5

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.

Best of Best- JT Safaris
5/5

We have been to Kenya for the 3rd time, we have just returned, still having the smell of this beautiful country next to us. We will definitely come back and definitely with JT Safari as always. I would HIGHLY recommend Julius from JT Safarii, who organizes trips tailored to everyone individually and in groups, and has wonderful guides- drivers who always adapt to our individual needs. You choose what you want. And if you don't know what to choose - you will learn the best recommendations of the JT Safarii guide, tailored to your requirements, including financial ones. We also got to know Julius from the side of a man who will cordially help in situations where help is needed, even outside the safari, when we rested on Diania.
We went on a trip with JT safari for the first time 13 years ago and when we were recently in Kenya for the third time, as always, we chose his office. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Julius has his office in front of the Neptun Village/Palm Beach Resort hotel. It also provides taxi and drop-off services to various locations in Diani Beach and Mombasa. We were in the Bora Bora park, everything was also arranged by JR Safarii. Next year we will come back again to Kenia and again safarii only with JT Safarii. Asante Sana Julius!

Trustworthy and safe safari office!
5/5

We booked the safari with Julius from the Netherlands via WhatsApp and we were certainly not disappointed.
The man has a wealth of experience and knows exactly when and where to go. There is regular contact along the way with questions about how you like it and whether it is beautiful.
Very reliable and good at communication.
This is the right man, not only for safaris, but also for fishing in the ocean, snorkeling and, for example, guided day trips to Mombasa!
Much cheaper and better than the "big" providers, consultation in advance and evaluation afterwards.
The office is directly opposite the Neptune resorts and you can always walk in.

Unpretentious but incredibly vast network to tailor a safari to your desires.
5/5

Unpretentious but incredibly vast network (drivers, guides, pilots…) to tailor a safari to your desires.

We contacted Julius Tact Safaris during peak holiday season to organize a safari only 7 weeks in advance. We provided an outline of an itinerary we thought might work. Julius Tact Safaris gave the benefits/disadvantages of the provided itinerary as well as several other itineraries similar in spirit to the original one (both upmarket & downmarket). All of the correspondence was efficient and over email.

Unforgettable experience: 5 days in late Feb, Big 5 in 24hrs!

5/5

Amazing Safari in May with the best service from Julius Tact Safaris!
May 2024

Absolutely perfect from beginning to end!

We did 5 days/4 nights Tsavo East/Amboseli/Tsavo West/Taita Hills

Pre-trip communications excellent from Julius, very quick to respond and great advice and consultation to ensure we had the best experience! Julius kept in touch with us during the trip to ensure everything was well. Excellent customer service! Thank you Julius!

Arrangements were all as planned. Our guide/driver collected us from Diani as arranged in a very new and comfortable Land Cruiser kitted out with wifi and power points.

Dominic, our amazing guide, is very personable and so knowledgeable about EVERYTHING! What a great driver too having to negotiate some surprises at any moment en route! We always felt very safe and comfortable! Dominic’s knowledge on the wildlife including all of the varieties of birds was second to none! He really went out of his way to take us to the best spots. Absolutely excellent! Thank you for a wonderful experience Dominic!

From the very first game drive we were in awe!! First encounter was a lone giraffe then several families of elephants at a watering hole rinsing the old red dust off and reapplying, the babies having a little swim - it was just amazing!

We were then very lucky to be so close to a full pride of lions, 6 lionesses and 12 cubs that we could count. Papa was shading himself not far away! Out of this world! And this was the first game drive, 1 hour after arriving at Tsavo East.

All of the lodges/hotels were first class, service excellent and rooms or tents were very high standard and luxury!

Food was amazing, huge choice and very high quality.

All in all I can’t recommend Julius Tact Safaris enough. Julius told me to trust him to give us the BEST experience and that is what he delivered.. thank you Julius for a trip of a lifetime… we waited a long time to do a Safari and it did not disappoint!

Anyone unsure about doing a Safari in May - do it! The scenery is beautiful, so green and lush! Lots of baby animals around and parks/lodges are quieter - I would have no hesitation of doing another one in May and I will 100% choose Julius Tact!!

Once in a lifetime experience
5/5

Great first safari with excellent company. Guide was great and really knowledgeable and went the extra mile to give us the best trip. Accommodations were very high standard and service was great! Seen so many more animals than we expected and whole experience far exceeded our expectations. I can’t recommend Julius Tact highly enough, pick up from hotel and drop off! We organised flights separate to safari and definitely big savings to be made rather than booking through a UK agent!

Fantastic Kenya Safari experience
5/5

We booked with Julius 8 months before our travel. He worked with us to identify the right itinerary given our preferences, suggested various places to choose from, and helped with all the transfers car and flight.

We were picked up by Dominique and our safari trip started at Lake Naivasha (boat ride to Crescent Island), a hike to Mount Longnot, bicycling in Hells Gate, then onto Nakuru for our first safari and then Masai Mara. Dominique was just so knowledgeable and we saw the big five, some beautiful birds, and the Cheetah. Dominque and Julius also informed us that the heavy rains have changed the road situations and suggested a place (Zebra River camp) closer to the gate entrance to make our safari trip at Mara so much more enjoyable.

The only area where maybe Julius could have been better was some proactive communication but he was always responsive throughout making sure we had the best of experiences.
