Lian was extremely responsive, accommodative and always suggesting good options.
We received excellent service, communication and suggestions for the trip. Lian and her team had done outstanding job in developing and planing our trip of 8 couples from all around the world. The accommodations were great in Kenya (excellent in Tanzania).
The drivers were the highlight of our trip. Aaron, Fred, Elvis, Dixon and rest of them took extraordinary efforts so we can watch animals in the closest possible proximity.
We all had great time
And would strongly recommend them for anyone willing to go to Safari.

Nice and wonderful
It’s wonderful, we saw so many animals being so close to us. And the guide has good sight, always finding animals for us. At the end of our safari, we even saw a leopard just walking beside us.

Fantastic safari experience with reliable, thoughtful service in Kenya
We had an absolutely wonderful safari trip with Jungleroam Safaris across Kenya. The communication was responsive and clear throughout the whole booking and traveling process. Our guide Elias was very knowledgeable about wildlife, great at spotting animals, and always made sure we were comfortable. All arrangements including hotels, transportation and daily safari drives went smoothly. Great value for money, we would highly recommend this operator to anyone planning a Kenya safari.

Wonderful safari
We had a wonderful experience on our private safari in Selous/Nyerere National Park!
We enjoyed several activities, including a boat safari, which was a really beautiful experience, as well as the game drive itself. We were accompanied by a guide and a driver. They shared so much information about the animals and the park throughout the safari, which made the experience even more interesting.
I was a little nervous before the safari, but they immediately made us feel comfortable and safe. We felt completely safe and well looked after throughout the entire experience.
We also really enjoyed the lodge. It felt much more authentic and personal than some of the larger, more touristy lodges around the park. The welcome was very warm, the staff were lovely, and we really enjoyed the atmosphere.
Overall, we had an amazing time as a couple and loved having a private safari experience. It was a very special part of our trip to Tanzania, with great value for money. We would definitely recommend it!

Laizer did a great job organizing everything
A high-quality safari!
The tour operator handles all the arrangements; all we had to do was let them guide us from the plane to the jeep.
We were able to easily see the Big Five animals several times throughout the day.
Lunch was also excellent, and the guide provided interesting information about the different animals.
We even spotted a leopard for several minutes, a magical moment!
Thanks to Laizer for the organisation.

African Scenic Safaris - Absolutely Fantastic
Booking from overseas was super easy, clear, and completely transparent (thank you very much, Nembris!). They’re incredibly flexible and happy to build a safari exactly around your needs - short or long.
And their commitment to sustainable tourism is real. One standout example: no plastic water bottles. A small detail with huge impact.
We had the absolute joy of travelling with Jackson. He’s unbelievably knowledgeable, full of fascinating facts about every animal we asked about, endlessly patient, and genuinely caring. It felt more like a family trip than an organised tour.
And the sightings… unreal. Litters of baby lions, baby cheetahs, several leopards, massive elephant herds with tiny 3–4‑month‑old calves - all thanks to Jackson’s fantastic game‑drive skills.
Their Land Cruisers are also in great condition and clearly well maintained.
Couldn’t be happier. African Scenic Safaris is a brilliant choice.

Absolutely Unbelievable Tour!
My wife and I joined the 12 day safari starting and ending in Nairobi and visiting the following national parks: Amboseli, Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Maasai Mara. The tour was absolutely unbelievable. Our two guides (James in Kenya and Johnson in Tanzania) were amazing. The guides were so informative and they were great at finding animals. We were fortunate and viewed the Big 5. We actually viewed three leopards on three separate game drives. We also viewed a cheetah with her four cubs. The guides made sure we were safe and comfortable. The accommodations throughout the safari were fantastic. The trip couldn't have been better.

Amazing Rwanda experience from end-to-end, including amazing lodges, chimpanzees and gorillas
Going to Rwanda to go gorilla trekking was a dream trip for me. I had been considering it for about a decade -- and even started planning a first version with Kathi and African Welcome Safaris back in 2019. I ended up pausing at that point, and only finally came back late 2025 to plan our August trip. Kathi has always been incredibly patient and helpful. I came in with a starting budget and based on the first itinerary realized that I wanted to go with a higher tier of lodges that would need a bigger budget. I worked with Kathi on what that right range would be and found a sweet spot that worked for my budget and level of luxury I was looking for. This included about 4-5 different iterations before making my final decision. Note: This is the second time I've worked with Kathi, as she also planned our 2017 safari in Sabi Sands. Kathi communicated clearly on costs, itinerary and payment timelines, which all went smoothly.
As for the trip itself, it went off without a hitch. Our driver -- who we had for the full week and appreciated the consistency -- met us at the airport upon arrival without any issues. He brought us to our first hotel (Hemingways Retreat Kigali) and briefed us on when he would pick us up the next morning and plan for the day. Our room at Hemingways was above and beyond thanks to Kathi. We were in the Royal Suite, where King Charles has stayed, and it was spacious with it's own plunge pool. Our driver took us around Kigali for the day with a planned itinerary while also being flexible to things we wanted to add in. Each day when he dropped us off, he would tell us the time and plan for the next day -- so we always knew what was coming without needing to worry or keep track of details. From Kigali, we went out to Nyungwe forest where we stayed at the One & Only property there. It is among the best we've ever stayed at and was a recommendation from Kathi for a not to miss. We went chimpanzee trekking in the area (excellent!) and spent time relaxing at the hotel where they have many included activities (we did a tea tasting, drum performance and hiked around the property). After two nights there, we drove up to Volcanoes National Park -- making a stop at Lake Kivu for lunch, which was beautiful to see without needing to spend an overnight. We stayed at Wilderness Sabyinyo, a recommendation from Kathi. This was the perfect match for us based on cost, luxury and service. The lodge is community owned, so profits go back to support the people in the area with things like education, water, financial literacy and more. About 90% of the staff is from the local area, and they are fantastic and incredibly caring. They also had gaiters, gloves, rain jackets and pants for guests when trekking. It was truly full service. Now, the gorilla trek! It was unbelievable and so so special. Looking back, I would have ideally done two gorilla treks with a golden monkey trek in between as a rest day. (Albiet that comes with cost and vacation time.) Then, we drove directly from the lodge to Kigali airport on our departure day -- which was quick and smooth. The whole week was seamless and well managed, and we felt taken care of at each and every stage.
I enjoy working with Kathi and appreciate her flexibility to go back and forth on the itinerary to ensure it meets our needs and budget. And I plan to continue working with her for future Africa trips. One thing I would have appreciated was a bit more information up front before we left on things like who our driver would be, that we would have one driver for the week, hiking gear provided by each lodge, etc. The preparation document that was shared was more general and not specific to our trip, which would have been helpful. I ended up doing more of my own research through lodge reviews, blogs, etc -- and then trusted that Kathi had taken care of everything else. (Which she did!)

Very organised and flexible. Our ranger was fantastic
We had a great time experience both planning our trip and making adjustments within the trip.Edwin our Guide was lovely and knowledgeable. We did the water and walking safari on our last day and it was beyond our expectations. Our guide Justin was an encyclopaedia on animals and birds.

Excellent organization from start to finish - everything was seamless, and perfectly planned.
This safari was, without a doubt, one of the best experiences of our lives! A huge part of what made it so unforgettable was our incredible driver-guide, Jacob. We honestly felt like he had a sixth sense for the savannah! He always knew exactly where to take us. Thanks to him, we witnessed some truly breathtaking moments that we will remember forever. His knowledge, instinct, experience, and passion for wildlife were exceptional, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the entire journey. Jacob is the real king of the savannah! 👑🦁
