An experience that will be remembered for a lifetime
5/5

It was my first safari, and I had no idea how it would actually go, I chose the tour literally blindly, and I didn't miss it. We took a safari in Masai Mara Park for 3 days and two nights from Nairobi. The reservation itself was made online using this website and e-mail.

At the agreed time, a driver came to the hotel for us, who took us to the office, where some formalities were completed, after which we got into a jeep and drove in the direction of the Masai Mara. The road is not close - about 6 hours. Upon arrival, a warm lunch and accommodation awaited us, after which we left for the first safari at 16:00. Even though it was an "introductory" short trip, we saw loads of animals, including lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, not to mention the more familiar antelopes and zebras.

The next day is a full safari: early breakfast, departure at 06:30 and return after 18:00. And it was simply magical: we visited almost the entire park, saw 4 of the big five (unfortunately, we did not meet a leopard, but we saw an extremely rare rhinoceros), in addition - crocodiles, cheetahs, hippos and a whole bunch of different birds and animals - including the Great Migration - entire herds of antelopes and zebras move from the Serengeti Park to the Masai Mara in search of food. They even observed cheetah hunting, which is quite rare. Our guide, Robin, was always proactive, talking to other drivers, and as soon as an interesting animal appeared somewhere on the horizon, we were there immediately. Even when it was already time to return to the camp, we made additional stops to look at interesting animals around. Upon our return, dinner and rest awaited us. Also that day we had lunch right in the middle of the park - a very cool experience.

The third day - if desired, you could visit the Maasai settlement, but we were tired after the previous two days (and two more days before that - flights, early ascents, etc.), and decided to skip it. After breakfast, we drove to Nairobi, stopping for lunch on the way. The guide took us directly to the apartments where we lived.

Overall impressions: This is an incredible adventure and despite our fears, everything was very well organized: everything was on time, fast, without delays and such. Accommodation - improved tents in the Lenchada camp (up to 10 minutes drive from the entrance to the park), each tent has a bathroom. It was cool at night, there were also some problems with water and electricity, but the staff helped to solve them, well, against the background of everything else, these are small things. The food is hearty, interesting, with an African flavor. The jeep is comfortable, there were no problems with it, it is convenient for viewing animals and taking photos. Well, the actual safari is an unforgettable experience for a lifetime, especially considering that it was our first trip both on safari and to Africa in general.

Special thanks to Robin, who not only drove us for these three days, but also told us a lot about animals, Kenya, local culture, language, etc. This tour wouldn't be as cool without him. And also thank you to everyone who contributed to the organization of our safari :)

Great Safari
5/5

We had a 4 day, 3 night trip just in Masai Mara, so we have 1 evening drive the day we arrived then 2 full days (stayed out from 7am to 5pm).
We chose not to go to lake Nakuru as heard mixed reviews, but apparently that is the place to find the rhinos! Lots of other animals too.
Enkorok accommodation was really nice - very nice ‘tents’ with loads of space. Had a swimming pool although we didn’t really use it as didn’t have time, as we were out on a drives all day. Food was great and the staff were incredibly welcoming.
Papa was a great tour guide! We told him the things we wanted to see each day and he always found them for us and took us to great lunch spots.
Park fees have gone up a lot since 2024 so it does make the whole trip a lot more expensive, but all the fees are included in the price so no hidden costs.
4x4 jeep was good. Think it has more space than the vans, but not wildly different.
Hot air balloon trip was incredible! It’s pretty expensive but a once in a lifetime thing. You only miss a few hours of a game drive and then you are driven to meet up with your group later in the park.

A very exciting itinerary that will never be forgotten
5/5

A six day trip to Masai Mara, NAkuru, Naivasha, Amboseli .

Our guide is Johnny, traveling with him is definitely very interesting and unforgettable!

In recent days, we have seen a lot of animals, such as elephants, hippopotamuses, giraffes, lions, etc. Observing them up close is an excellent and wonderful experience.

The hotels I stayed in were also very good, a trip worth it, absolutely recommended

The first and best choice when choose your safari trip!
5/5

The communication was so fast, replied emails in time despite the time difference. And they cared us from start to end.
After talking with other people, we found out the price for the trip was super reasonable! We lived in Jambo Mara lodge, Sarova woodlands and Amboseli jumble lodge, with hot water, electricity, various food, all beyond expectations!
About our tour guide, Johny Jackson, he is funny, thoughtful, has good eyesight to spot animal, great taste to find best picture angle! I got so many great photos! We saw all Big 5 and other animals, it was so amazing!
Best thing is he can speak a little Chinese! It’s so helpful when i still haven’t learned all animal names.
Before i set my foot on Kenya, i had so many doubts. But when I literally was there, I feel so relieved and free, then completely throwed myself in this safari trip! All thanks to Jungleroam Safaris and Johny!

Jungleroam has very professional and knowledgeable safari guide.
5/5

We went on a safari from 14 Sep to 21 Sep with Caleb in Jungleroam, he is helpful, knowledgeable and very kind. He worked as a guide for more than 8 years with a lot of connections. On our way from Nairobi->Masai Mara -> Nakuru -> Borgoria -> Naivasha -> Amboseli, we can feel everyone he knows they like him. Caleb is humorous, he even knows Chinese names of some animals. The hotels are also good too, we went to Zebra Plains in Mara for 2 nights, Nakuru Sopa, Bogoria Spa, Naivasha Sopa (Chesi is amazing, she got the room after putting us in the waiting list), and Amboseli Sopa. All good except we didn’t witness the great migration and a lot of flangmigos as what we saw on the internet, there is always a next time! Next time, we will definitely go with Jungleroam Caleb again. Let’s roam in the jungle!
