Incredible!
We owe James five incredibly intense safari days full of unforgettable experiences. His private safari for our family of six was well organized and we saw far more than the "Big Five" - including two leopards and a cheetah up close. Thank you for your professionalism, friendliness and driving skills - off the road and in the „jungle" of Nairobi!

Thank you James!
I’ve enjoyed a 9 unforgettable days with James.
We have visited Masai Mara, lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo and everything was amazing.
James was a very attentive guide, a very knowledgeable person and a very pleasant company for this experience.
After working for over 20 years in the field under the big companies, he decided to open his own little family run company.
So you’re not only a number like you would, but you will get to build a real connection with him and you will feel a real part of the project.
So the tour can be customised according to all your needs. He can basically built a tailor made experience for you.
I’ve contacted him via WhatsApp and then we planned together the safari. He answered at my 45827269 questions ( sorry James

Wonderful Trip!
We spent 5 days on safari in Kenya with James as our guide. We traveled to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha. The trip was our first time to Africa and the experience of a lifetime! Every single day exceeded our expectations and was better than we could have hoped. Our group included 4 adults and 2 children (8 and 11 years old).
James was very well organized and responsive to all our requests. He facilitated an excellent itinerary and was flexible anytime we had new requests. He is an excellent driver and we felt safe and secure trailblazing across Kenya with him.
He has expertise in finding and spotting animals and helped us see more than we hoped. We saw lions (2 prides), leopards (2), black (2) and white (8) rhinos, and countless elephants , water buffalo, wildebeests, hippos, giraffes, zebras, flamingos, monkeys, baboons, and many more. My children especially loved the many baby animals we saw. I personally love birds and James was able to spot and identify many birds for me which was a personal highlight (Fish Eagle, Helmeted Guineafowl, African Spoonbill, Peid Kingfisher, Sacred Ibis, Fish Eagle, Gray Crowned Crane, and more).
James was incredibly informative and answered all the questions we had. We greatly enjoyed our time spent with him and learned a lot about Kenya, animals, culture, and history. We started the trip as strangers and left feeling like James was a life long friend.
I would highly recommend this company and can confidently say you can expect a wonderful experience.

Very good knowledge of everything and a lots If fun!
Our experience in Kenya was so wonderful in every way! Our guide James was an expert driver, and was great at tracking the potential locations of the animals to get us very close to the action. He is truly a professional. He was so knowledgeable about the area and knew all there is to know about the animals we saw. He was funny and just amazing really! :) Thanks again!
We also were very happy with all the accommodations we stayed at, from the food to the staff, every place we stayed at was super!
Overall, everything went perfectly and truly exceeded our expectations.

James was kind & very knowledgable and we felt very comfortable traveling with him.Definitely A+ exp
We had the most remarkable family tour with james ( marurumi safaris). Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide cared about us, both the kids and adults, and did his best to make this trip memorable.
For our well-traveled children (age 2-9) and adults this definitely has become the most eye-opening, adventurous, and stunning journey of our lifes - something we will remember, draw upon, and cherish for many years to come. James was amazing from airport pick up to drop off .
We definitely will be back!

A beautiful, educational, and never to forget trip!
We went on a 5-day private safari tour with James and could not have wished for a better tour guide. He always has a smile on his face and made us feel very comfortable at all times.
He knows all the parks we visited very well and took as much time we wanted to see even the smallest bird. He educated us on animal behaviour and the different species in each park and showed us the most beautiful spots. The highlight was the leopard he spotted himself.
He is flexible when it comes to scheduling the drives and asks his clients constantly for input.
Highly recommended!
