Super
Julius was incredible in organizing the Safari for us. The guide Simon who spoke Italian and the driver Raam who managed to find the most hidden cats were really super. Thank you Julius for making us carry this Safari to our hearts. I highly recommend it!

We did a 3-day private safari from Mombasa (Galu Beach) through JT tours in February, and we can definitely recommend it! Communication was easy via WhatsApp. We opted for the Landcruiser, which turned out to be no unnecessary luxury.
The first night we stayed at Salt Lick Safari Lodge, Taita Hills. What a beautiful lodge this is, truly a “once in a lifetime” paradise. And delicious food. The second night we stayed at Sentrim tented lodge in Tsavo East, a much smaller scale and more of an outdoor experience. Extremely friendly staff and delicious food. You are in the middle of the savannah, so don't be afraid of insects.
We saw plenty of wildlife in the parks. We saw lions in both parks, and the amount of elephants in Tsavo East was unprecedented.
We are very happy that we chose the 2 night safari. It is quite a drive from south of Mombasa, it would have been a shame if we had gone shorter. It costs a bit, but then you get something. We had a great time!

Amazing Kenyan safari with driver George
We are couple and we have been on safari with Julius agency in February for 7 days/5 nights. Everything from the beggining was amazing. We visited 4 national parks: Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Of course we have seen amazing nature, lots of animals and of course famous big5. Our driver George was amazing every second - very good and carefull driver on crazy Keniyan roads, puctual at every time, he stops whenewher we wanted in the park and the most important - he knows the animals behaviour so we always had the nicest place to observe animals among all the cars in national park. We were sleeping in amazing lodges inside parks, which was truly beautiful experience. I can recommend Julius & his agency anytime.

Cannot recommend this company highly enough. Everything they promised, they delivered. First class!
Very easy to deal with from the UK, clear communication throughout the booking process. Had an excellent driver/guide and the vehicle to ourselves (party of two). Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed!
Unpretentious but incredibly vast network to tailor a safari to your desires.
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!

Outstanding experience from start to finish
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
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
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.
