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.

A life experience
Embarking on a Kenyan safari with Ramja Safaris was, without a doubt, a transformative adventure that exceeded our every expectation. From the outset, Steve was a beacon of professionalism and warmth, expertly facilitating our booking with remarkable efficiency, which was particularly impressive given our tight schedule. His presence on WhatsApp constantly reassured us that we were in capable hands.
The true gem of our safari was our guide, Samuel / Samsong. A maestro of the bush, his skill in tracking and spotting wildlife turned each game drive into an episode of wonder and discovery. Sam’s extensive knowledge of animal behaviour and habitats allowed us to witness the raw beauty of Kenya in ways we never imagined possible.
More than just a guide, Sam was a storyteller whose love for his country was contagious. Our dialogues with him delved deep into the heart of Kenyan culture. These exchanges were as captivating as they were educational, leaving us with a profound connection to Kenya’s land and its people.
We wholeheartedly endorse their services to anyone wishing to experience the true essence of Kenya. The memory of this journey will linger with us, like the unforgettable silhouette of an Impala or a Topi !

I will come back!
An extraordinary adventure through the heart of Kenya!
Steve, our point of contact, was attentive.
Our safari guide, Samuel-Samsong, was the soul of our journey. With a keen eye and an encyclopedic knowledge of the Kenyan wilderness, he transformed our game drives into thrilling quests. His stories and insights into the behaviors of the majestic wildlife allowed us intimate encounters that we'll treasure forever.
Samuel-Samsong's passion extended beyond guiding. He suggested that we take the optional walk at Lake Naivasha, and it's really worth doing it.
Without intending to, we made our long journeys on public holidays or Sundays when there are fewer people on the road. It's more pleasant.
The journey was more than a vacation; it was an immersive experience wrapped in the warmth of genuine hospitality. For those eager to discover the wonders of Kenya with guides who treat you like family, look no further than Ramja Safaris.

Not just a tour, but a gateway to the heart of Kenya and its majestic wilderness!
We recently returned from an incredible journey through Kenya, and it was an experience of a lifetime, largely thanks to our tour operator, Ramja Safaris. The booking process was incredibly smooth and accommodating, especially considering we organized it on short notice. Steve, our contact at Ramja Safaris, was very helpful, always available on WhatsApp.
Our guide, Samuel, was truly the highlight of our safari. His expertise and passion for wildlife and the Kenyan landscape made our game drives unforgettable. Samuel’s ability to spot animals from great distances and his knowledge about their habits provided us with unique and up-close wildlife encounters. But what really set Samuel apart was his dedication to environmental conservation and his love for Kenya. Our conversations with him were not only educational but deeply moving, giving us a richer understanding of the country and its people.
This tour was more than just a holiday; it was an enlightening journey. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking to explore Kenya's natural beauty and wildlife.

Excellent personalized service / very responsive to queries / very knowledgeable safari guide.
I selected Ramja Safari from a myriad of other options based on Steve Muinde being very responsive to my queries on WhatsApp and him being very accommodative to my diet requirements.
Steve promptly met us at our hotel and introduced us to our safari guide Peter. After introductions we were on our way to our 7 day safari.
The resorts / lodges that Steve had booked us in were all uniformly excellent with personalized service.
Peter was a safe driver and an excellent safari guide always making sure we get to see the animals of Kenya in their best light. He always accommodated our schedule changes as much as possible and when not possible explained to us the logistical challenges.
On the last day we had a lunch together after we had 6-7 hours to kill before our flight back home. Peter made sure that we were well taken care of before the flight back home - discussing our options and dropping us off in a bar where we could kill some time before our flight.
Ramja Safari did an amazing job and we had a highly enjoyable week in Kenya.
Thank you Steve and Peter.

Friendly, welcoming, professional.
We had an excellent experience with Ramja Safaris. From the very first contact, Steve was super responsive, informative, and friendly. He responded quickly to all of our many queries and adjusted the programme according to our needs.
Our guide and driver, Peter, was amazing - witty, friendly, and super knowledgeable not only about the wildlife but also about Kenya as a whole. We felt welcome and respected the whole time. A true pleasure to spend three days in Masai Mara with him. We strongly recommend Ramja Safaris services.
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!
