A unforgettable wildlife experience with our great tour guide, David!!
We did a Masai Mara-Nakuru 4 days tour.
Our tour guide, David, was such a nice, patient, and friendly person and we loved him. He was so nice to our 6 years old son as well.
His game drive skill was perfect and we could see all of the wildlife that we had wanted to see in Kenya!

I left a piece of my heart in the Mara
I planned my trip to Kenya with the same meticulousness as a bride planning her wedding. I considered going on safaris in Kenya to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I wanted to gather every bit of information, manage every detail, and ensure that everything went perfectly. Managing a client like me must’ve been a nightmare, but OnlyOne not only met but also exceeded my expectations.
When I first began planning, I had limited knowledge of Kenyan safaris. Our agent, Rodney (aka Rockstar), truly lived up to his name. We exchanged dozens of emails, and he answered all questions—no matter how trivial or detailed—promptly and thoroughly. His extensive knowledge of Kenyan tourism helped me build a basic understanding of all the national parks we visited. Trusting someone I'd never met and who lives so far away was a challenge, but Rodney’s professionalism and expertise made that trust easy to establish.
In Naivasha, Nakuru, and Masai Mara, we were fortunate to have Njoroge as our guide—the human encyclopedia. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in great hands. He was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. I had one specific goal for this trip: to see lion cubs. While I needed luck on my side, this mission wouldn’t have been possible without a top-notch guide. Njoroge went above and beyond to fulfill my wish, and I couldn’t have asked for more. When we had issues with our camera on day two, he even came to the rescue and saved the rest of our trip. I cried when I had to say goodbye to him. I left a piece of my heart in the Mara, and I can’t fully express how deeply this land moved me. Without Njoroge, our experience wouldn't have been as incredible as it was.
In Amboseli, we had Bonfrey as our guide. He was laid-back, friendly, and funny. My request for this leg of the trip was no small task: finding the big cats in Amboseli. Like Njoroge, Bonfrey did everything he could, and we were lucky enough to spot big cats three out of the four game drives. We truly appreciated his effort. When I lost my bag in an Uber after our trip, it wasn’t his responsibility to help, but he offered anyway, showing his genuine care for his clients.
I’ve never fallen in love with a place the way I did with Kenya. Of course, anyone who visits will be captivated by the breathtaking landscape and the incredible wildlife, but what truly made this experience unforgettable was the team of professionals who prioritized their clients' needs, demonstrating a strong work ethic and deep respect for nature. Rodney’s promise that we’d be in good hands with OnlyOne wasn’t just kept—it was exceeded in every way. Thank you, OnlyOne, for giving us memories that will last a lifetime.

Amazing time in Masai Mara
My party of 6 had an amazing time in Masai Mara. It was everyone’s first safari and I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience.
We had a great time in the park and saw far more animals than I had expected - multiple groups of lions, elephants and baboons, a leopard, a cheetah, and altogether everything I think we could have realistically expected to see.
The camp where we stayed was basic, but clean and safe. There was consistent power and hot water, and the food (including for vegetarians/vegans in our party) was delicious every meal.
Peter, our guide, brought the whole thing together. He was knowledgeable and prepared throughout the trip, and well-connected to other guides to find animal sightings (but also had an incredibly keen eye himself). Outside of the park, he got us through both the Nairobi traffic and bumpy backroads with ease.
When there was an issue (due to my error) with overpayment, the office team was very helpful and resolved it as soon as they were able.

Serengeti Smile is a professional, passionate tour operator that offers an unforgettable experience
I had the most incredible experience on safari with Serengeti Smile, and our guide, Champion, was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we were picked up, Champion's passion for wildlife and knowledge of the Serengeti was evident. He expertly navigated us through the park, making sure we saw everything from the Big Five to rare birds. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made the entire experience unforgettable. We felt safe, informed, and truly immersed in the beauty of the Serengeti. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a better company to share this once-in-a-lifetime adventure with. Highly recommend!

He was so kind and had a lot of knowledge about the wildlife and about the country itself any questions we had he knew the answers he took so many photos of us to we didn't even have to ask he always made sure we where happy and comfortable the whole trip the trip would not have been the same without Chris we will miss him on our travels and hope to come back to Uganda in the future.

Excellent operator, professional tour guide and highly recommend for people who plan to visit Kenya
Our group of five experienced an unforgettable journey through Kenya and Tanzania with Ramja Tours in October 2024. From the initial smooth and responsive pre-trip communication to the customized itinerary planning, everything exceeded our expectations. We were warmly welcomed at the airport by Steve and our professional guide Patrick, who ensured everything was meticulously prepared. Both Patrick in Kenya and Isaya in Tanzania demonstrated exceptional expertise, helping us spot the 'Big Five,' 'Ugly Five,' and sharing invaluable knowledge throughout our game drives. Their profound understanding of the ecosystem and wildlife made every moment educational and exciting. Ramja proved to be a trustworthy company that delivers not just a vacation, but a transformative African safari experience.
Beyond just a safari experience, we witnessed the delicate balance between wildlife conservation and human communities in these regions. The ongoing challenges between the Maasai people and lions remind us of the importance of sustainable tourism and conservation efforts. I encourage all future visitors to support initiatives that protect the magnificent Masai Mara ecosystem while respecting local communities.
