Exceptional service, beautiful camps, knowledgeable guides
We traveled as a group of ten, and our trip was meticulously planned, allowing us to relax without worrying about a thing. The camps we stayed in were beautiful and impeccably clean, and the staff was not only friendly but also attentive to our every need. Our guides were exceptional—knowledgeable, patient, with fantastic sense of humor. Overall, it was a 10 out of 10 safari experience!

Our guide and driver mtinangi was great - he knew where to stop for the animals and where to take all the best photos, he’s also very funny.

He was a very funny and entertaining operator
My operators (Joseph & Matina) were both amazing operators. They showed the park really well, answered all the questions and were doing their job with a big smile on their face.

Hell's Gate and Lake Nakuru Safari-an unforgettable experience!! 😍😊😊
All of this was really great! Starting the journey from Nairobi, visiting Hell's Gate and Lake Nakuru National Park, every moment was thrilling and amazing. The breathtaking scenery and cycling experience at Hell's Gate National Park was quite different. It is indeed a rare experience to see wild animals on high cliffs, hot springs, and open wilderness. Then a flock of thousands of flamingos and the movement of rhinos in Lake Nakuru was a sight to behold. The 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep was undoubtedly the best for the game drive, giving us a great travel experience. Night camping was also great—the sky-high stars and the tranquility of nature made the whole experience even more exciting. All in all, it was a great trip! This is definitely an ideal trip for those who love adventure travel in the midst of nature and wildlife.

Excellent! Highly recommended to hike Kilimanjaro
The best tour company to book for a Kilimanjaro hike. It was well organized and the company was really helpful in updating us from time to time. We were picked up from the airport and gave us orientation on the day. Swalehe's (lead guide) team are the best! Shukuru (Asst. guide) was also knowledgeable about the Kilimanjaro and other about Tanzania, making our hike really entertaining and engaging. The team prioritizes your safety and dreams to reach the roof of Africa!! Our cook Dennis prepared really well, healthy and delicious dishes. Charles, our attendant makes sure we have all our needs and ensures we are fed well and entertained. We took the Marangu route for 6 days and it was the best experience of our life. Also, shout out to all the porters (Musa, Sagati, David, Salem, Turuki, Rider and Chisano - hope I got it all spelled right) who make this hike very possible and memorable, they're a really strong and very important part of the team. My friends made it on top! We have also seen a lot of wildlife and unique plants along the way

He provides an excellent service!
I arrived in Tanzania on Sunday 23 February, and had a plan but nothing booked. The next day I got a business card from someone at a local supermarket in Moshi who organised a hike up Kilimanjaro and safaris. I checked online that evening and made contact and booked a hike that started 2 days later. The hike via the Marangu route was an unforgettable 5-day experience. Led by guide Rama and with the help of great cook Goodman and helper Luca, it was excellently organised. I reached the top and am richer in experience. Thanks for that! When I got back, I indicated that I also wanted to do a safari and that was quickly arranged. The safari to Maswa Game Reserve, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater was also excellently organised with delicious meals and a guide who made sure that we saw all the animals and drove beautiful routes. Thanks again! In short, book with these people and you will have a great time!

Excellent experience! Kudos to Dexter and Charles
I came with a group of friends and we all had wonderful time.
Dexter speaks excellent English and easy to talk too. He’s also a great driver who always finds perfect photo spots for us. I had some of great pictures taken because of his help.
We had such great time in Kenya and saw all big fives the second day when we’re arrived. Thanks to Dexter and Charles.
I’ll definitely see Dexter again if I ever come back!

Flexible and professional
I went to Samburu National Reserve with Green Places Adventures on a three-day private safari. It really was three days, even with the long drive from Nairobi we managed a good long game drive the first evening and the same again on the final morning. Everything was very easily organised by email, Elijah in the office always responded quickly and was very helpful and efficient. The trip itself was really good value and everything was excellent, a problem with a mysteriously draining battery in the vehicle overnight for example was quickly resolved and no time was lost. I am a birder so I wanted to look at slightly different things to a typical customer, I sometimes asked for very frequent stops and to look in places safari vehicles maybe wouldn't typically go, and this was all fine and no problem at all for Jackton, my driver / guide, who was fantastic. On the final day, with a long drive ahead and potentially late finish in the evening, there was no rushing or pushing to leave. The camp, Samburu Riverside Camp, was 'no frills' but lovely, great staff, great simple food, really comfortable bed, no complaints there at all. Thank you all, it was a really memorable tour.

Amazing Company and Drivers (James and Lawrence)
Before our trip, we compared offers from numerous safari companies, and Marurumi Safari stood out by far as the best choice. They impressed us with their quick and high-quality responses, a detailed and well-thought-out itinerary, and a highly competitive price.
Our safari lasted 6 days: 2 in Amboseli Park, 1 at Lake Naivasha, 1 at Lake Nakuru and 1 in Masa Mara (last day was travelling back to Nairobi)
Our guides, James (for Amboseli park) and Lawrence (for the remainig part), were fantastic! They were incredibly friendly and passionate, providing engaging and insightful commentary about the animals we encountered. Their expertise truly enhanced our experience—they always seemed to know the perfect spots and times to position the vehicle, allowing us to get remarkably close to the wildlife. On several occasions, animals passed right by our car, making for unforgettable moments.
Overall, we highly recommend Marurumi Safari—it’s excellent value for money, and the experience was absolutely top-notch!
