Reliable, customer-centric, knowledgeable with extensive safari experience
5/5

We were very fortunate to have Sam as our driver and guide during our week long safari traversing Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara. Sam is well spoken and has a great sense of humour. He has excellent networks which enable him to seamlessly cut thru challenges and ensure a smooth and seamless safari experience. Sam is a safe driver and his patience on what can be very challenging road and driving conditions assured us that we were always safe. Sam is flexible and willingly accommodated changes to our plan due to unforeseen circumstances. As a foreigner travel in remote areas can be very daunting and having Sam with us gave us a feeling of safety.
We will recommend Sam and Jamlan Holiday Safaris to our friends and family and look forward to using his services when we next visit this beautiful country. If you are looking for a safe and memorable wildlife experience, it just does not get better than Jamlan Holiday Safaris. Thanks Sam for looking after us and we look forward to staying in touch with you and wish you the best in growing your amazing business.

Magnificent and Friendly adventure
5/5

It was an amazing experience to witness the migration with my friend Jayden.
Our driver John was quite knowledgeable and kind. He accommodated all our requests and managed to find all the big five for us even after witnessing the migration.
I would definitely recommend him and Jamlan holiday safaris. Teddy who was our consultant was quite helpful too and recommended amazing accommodations for us .

Excellent journey and unforgettable experience in Maasai Mara
5/5

We booked a 3-day trip with Jamlan and the lodge we stayed at 1st night was fully booked. So Isabella recommended another luxury camp to us which was much surprisingly fantastic. The driver/tour guide is experienced and kind. The balloon company they booked was also professional. I will rate 10 out of 10 to the journey we had.

Very responsive
5/5

Our family had a wonderful time in Kenya. Bella was very responsive and always answered my messages quickly. If I had one suggestion, it is to have more discussion with Jamlan upfront about desires, needs, travel times between locations, and modes of transportation. We were not expecting to spend as much time traveling as we did. That was not the fault of our agent, but perhaps we’d have developed an itinerary better matched to our family’s needs had we had more discussion at the beginning with Jamlan. Kenya is an amazing country with much to see and experience!

My family and I recently had the pleasure of visiting Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Park, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience, all thanks to Isabella and the incredible team at Jamlan Holiday Safaris.

From the moment we started planning our trip, Isabella's expertise and attention to detail were evident. She took the time to understand our preferences and crafted a personalized itinerary that perfectly matched our interests. Throughout the entire process, she was extremely responsive, addressing all our questions and concerns with patience and professionalism.

Isabella's dedication to ensuring that we had a memorable and seamless journey was truly exceptional. Her passion for providing outstanding service was evident in every interaction we had, and it made a world of difference to our overall experience.

If you're considering a safari adventure in Kenya, look no further than Jamlan Holiday Safaris for an exceptional and personalized experience.

Thank you, Isabella and Jamlan Holiday Safaris, for an incredible journey that we will cherish for a lifetime.

Once in a lifetime Safari didn’t disappoint.
5/5

We had a 4 day safari - Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and had an amazing time
Firstly I would say that the extra £500 we spent on having a private jeep rather than sharing was well worth it.
It gives you more space to move around, a view for everyone to look out both sides of the jeep and space for everyone to stand up while touring. It also means that the flexibility of the schedule that was necessary due to a little rain, and excellently accommodated, was in our control rather than having to negotiate with other passengers. Especially the early starts as we were keen to use entry second of our trip and not be delayed by other passengers being up late or slow at breakfast.
We saw everything we wanted too and much more, the big 9 and loads of birds.
Thanks to John’s constant communication with other drivers on the Masai Mara we saw an extraordinary lion hunt and kill, and a resting male lion lying next to his Hippo lunch.
The Masai Mara was far the best part of the trip as there is the ability to go anywhere and follow the animals rather than sticking to roads. It was slightly frustrating in Nakuru being just too far from some animals to see them clearly and get good photos after being spoilt on the Masai Mara but that is the case in many more managed parks.
That’s not to say the more controlled Nakuru wasn’t good but just not as wild.
The Masai Mara village visit was well worth it as was the boat trip at Naivasha but I would also recommend adding the conservation walk for around $20 a head as walking so close to the animals was magical and great for photo ops.
The hotels were lovely and well styled - especially the Navaisha hotel where you shouldn’t miss a hippo walk after dark which finished off seeing them from the boat wonderfully.
One point to note is that many roads are not the best in Kenya, which is just how they are, but don’t used Google maps other anything similar to calculate journey times - they widely underestimate, unlike John who knew the times all to well.
Finally the communication via WhatsApp was rapid and constantly helpful.
Well done Jamlan Safari’s
