Ramja Safaris provided personalized and detailed organization with excellent communication.
We picked Ramja Safaris because we were impressed right away by owner Steve's communication. He was transparent, quick to respond, and understood our goals for our trip. He helped us fully customize our itinerary, accommodations, local flights and even provided some options so we could make decisions that best fit our interests and budget. Steve was available via Whats App and email during the planning process. He and his wife Jackie even met us at the airport when we landed at 3:30am just to make sure our trip was off to a smooth start.
We had two guides during our trip, Moses and Isaack. Both guides were extremely passionate about the Safari experience. They were as excited as us for good animal sightings. We really felt that they cared about our experience and wanted us to have a good trip. The were knowledgable, easy going and great people to share our experience with. Thank you for going above and beyond.
You can't go wrong with Ramja! Its a family, locally owned business where you will be given individualize attention by people who are excited to welcome you to their amazing country.

EXCEPTIONAL GUIDE AND EXPERIENCE 10/10!
Steve from Ramja Safaris IS THE BEST TOUR OPERATOR AND EXPERIENCE CURATOR. I have traveled to so many countries where we have taken tours and booked experiences however none of this experiences compared to the care, thought, consideration and attention to detail like Steve and his team. I have to be honest, we were booking a safari for a group of 7 and encountered what could have been a potential dishonest vendor prior to finding Steve! (AND I AM SO HAPPY WE DID!) From the moment you meet and communicate with Steve you know you were in good hands! He was able to navigate our trip without us having to worry about anything from providing us transformation from the airport to our hotel upon arrival in Nairobi, to booking the Safari hotel that we wanted (despite another vendor telling us they were sold out!), to providing Safari game drive experiences and booking our travel to and from the Masai Mara. It felt like we were truly taken care of and did not have to worry about anything! His drivers were all so professional and navigated Nairobi traffic like pros (if you know Nairobi driving/traffic you know what I’m talking about 😂) The biggest highlight of the trip was our Safari game driver I.S.S.A.C!!!!!!! My dream has been to go on a safari and Issac and Steve made my dream come true is exceptional fashion!! We only had 2 days at the Safari reserve which limits your odds of seeing the big 5 but ISSAC made it happen! We saw lions, leopards, elephants, Cape buffalos. The only one we did not see was a black rhino but 4/5 is exceptional!! Issac was chasing our favorite animals and really worked to make this trip so enjoyable!! Not to mention we laughed so hard on Safari! Looking around at other vehicles they were not having as good a time as we were and sometimes that is worth more than seeing the animals!!! In addition, Issac made time for us to see everything we could possibly see in 2 days. We visited the Masai village and that experience was the highlight of the trip for me. After returning from safari Steve surprised us with lunch and truly checked in to make sure we enjoyed our trip and were satisfied. It was clear that he was invested in us having a great experience and this is such a rarity in the world we live in!! Steve, Issac and George thank you so much for providing us with an experience we could only dream of. Sharing your time, kindness and care with us has been so invaluable and we are blessed to have met you. I would ONLY recommend this team and company for anyone I know traveling to Nairobi or the Safari areas in Kenya/Tanzania! 10/10 recommend and I will be back!! ❤️

A local family-owned business, provides a tailored Kenyan safari experience
We used Ramja Safaris for our 7-day trip to Kenya in September 2024. The owner, Steve, was easy to work with throughout the planning process and was very responsive and transparent during our communication via email and Whatsapp.
We started the process by getting a quote for a 6-night safari trip using the SafariBookings website. My wife and I wanted to make a couple of lodging upgrades. Steve accommodated these requests and also suggested itinerary adjustments to optimize our trip.
I was very impressed that Steve and his wife Jackie greeted us at the airport in Nairobi at 4:00 AM to make sure that our trip was off to a smooth start. They also met us at the very end of our trip to hear about our experience.
We had 2 great guides during our safari trip, Moses and Isaac. Both of them were easy going, knowledgeable and passionate about the safari experience. We really enjoyed our safari experience with them and were impressed by the stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and the warm hospitality of the local people.
Overall, we were glad to work with Ramja Safaris, a locally owned family business. If you’re considering a trip to Kenya, we highly recommend them for a personalized experience.
Steve, Jackie, Moses and Isaac - thanks again for your hospitality!

Amazing Experience with Top Notch Hospitality
This safari was one of my best travel experiences ever! Steve’s communication is top notch and ultimately the reason why my group decided to book with Ramja. He not only gave us all the information we needed for the Safari travel, but was even able to answer some of our non-Safari related questions, as we were a big group of first time Kenya visitors. I was unfortunately injured during this trip and walking with a cane, but our tour guide Issac made sure that I was comfortable during each game drive and at the airstrip. Overall this team is very knowledgable and professional & yet still managed to make us feel like family. I’m so glad we booked with Ramja and I’ve already begun recommending them to my family and friends planning their trips to Kenya!

Isaac, is charismatic, flexible and willing! He was knowledgeable of the area. We saw the Big 5!
The safari itself has breathtaking views! Experiencing it with Ramja Safaris made the experience even more worthwhile. Isaac our guide was very experienced and timely. He arrived for each game drive on time and gave us facts about the animals we saw along the way. Our vehicle was fully stocked with water each time.
Steve coordinated the trip for us which gave us a sense of ease. He organized transportation to and from, and lunch on our return as well.
I highly recommend booking with Ramja Safaris! They are welcoming to everyone. Our group felt extremely comfortable because we knew we were in great hands.
All went perfect
Steve is very very helpful. He made a schedule for us based on our own preference . The guide and driver was kind and responsible. Such a great fun!

Best Tour Company Without Doubt - This is the company to go with
Right from first contact, I knew this was the right tour company to go with in Kenya. Steve, the owner, was outstanding - fast and efficient communication. He had an itinerary sorted out quickly; communication was brilliant; payment was simple, and any question was quickly answered. Our tour was also incredibly good value for money. We also had the opportunity to meet Steve and his wife - both professional and friendly people - a real reason to support Ramja Safaris.
The other great thing about this tour was our driver/guide - Peter. He was absolutely the best guide we have ever had. A genuinely really nice guy who went out of his way to look after us and ensure we had a brilliant and fun experience. What made him standout was that he was full of amazing facts and information but was not one of those guides who overloads with information - it was more of genuine conversations and answering questions when we wanted to know something. While finding the wildlife is a matter of luck each day, Peter had an amazing ability to find the animals before other vehicles. He also knew, and was respected, by many people in the parks, which helped him find the Big Five.
Some advice, I strongly suggest you go for the 4WD option as they are much better than the vans. There is also an option to upgrade your accommodation if you want - but we were very happy with all the places we stayed - Sentrim Amboseli Lodge, Elementaita Sentrim Lodge and Mara Sentrim Lodge. All the lodges were very relaxing, comfortable and friendly staff. We would stay at all three places again.
We will definitely be returning to Keyna for a longer trip and will use Ramja Safaris again - no doubt (and hopefully have Peter as our guide/driver).
Our only regret was that we wish our tour was longer - but gives us a good excuse to return to Kenya.
Don't bother looking at any other companies - go with the best - Ramja Safaris.

Hospitality, well organized, flexible, and good price
I understand we stayed at the highest level possible of the hotels throughout. We met a few times with gate 1 travelers in the same hotels where we stayed. I would definity wait 2-3 weeks later to experience great migration. We are just a couple weeks early this year.
