The best driver in the Mara, James Gichina
James was the best driver we could’ve had. Was very friendly and kind!
We turned up for a 3 hour game drive and managed to see so much. The best driver in Masai Mara by far!

Friendly, flexible and reliable, with knowledgeable guides who made our first safari straightforward
We did a 4-day safari with Josana Tours covering the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and had a really good experience.
It was our first time booking a safari, so we weren’t completely sure what to expect. Quite a lot of the organisation was done informally over WhatsApp, which we were a little nervous about at first, but everything worked out absolutely fine. Communication was good, pricing was clear and they made the whole process very straightforward.
They were also really flexible. We decided quite late that we wanted to do a hot air balloon ride in the Masai Mara and they managed to arrange it for us, which ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. They also organised our hotel and airport transfers, which made things much easier.
Charles and Dennis were both excellent guides — friendly, knowledgeable and really keen to make sure we got the most out of the safari. We did have a vehicle breakdown which meant one of our days in Nakuru was cut a bit short, but it was handled efficiently and they went out of their way to make up for the lost time the following day.
We saw pretty much everything we had hoped to see, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, black rhino, elephants and giraffes. The accommodation and food were also both very good throughout.
Overall, we thought it was great value for money and would definitely recommend Josana Tours, particularly if it’s your first safari and you want someone to make the whole process easy and well organised.

Very happy and full of information
The tour of the parks and the accommodation in the mid-range tour were really really good. Our guide Melita was super friendly and reliable.
The communication from the airport to leaving for the parks was very difficult. We were picked up late from the airport and didn’t get a briefing for any information at the hotel.

Smooth ride up to Kruger
Our driver Tiyani was cheerful, informative, and helpful. We were whisked from Tambo to Hazyview with two pleasant short stops. Easy and comfortable. Wish the on-board wifi was a little more reliable.

Available, flexible, professional and trustworthy
I highly recommend this experience. We choose Mara chui and lake nakuru lodges and we did not regret it at all! Everything was well organized: our guide, Edwin Laso, was always on time and rushed whenever he got a call for an animal so we were able to see almost all the big five on the first day! Also, he took us to washrooms at least once a day during the safari and more than that on the way to the park or back to nairobi. Also, we were never out of water inside the car! Moreover, food and rooms in the two lodges were great: hot water, cultural dances and great dinners. The whole agency has been available and flexible to any changes or anything we preferred during the booking process . I would definitely choos them again for another experience!

Excellent experience and what and amazing world
I took part in a 4-day, 3-night safari through the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, and it was truly a fantastic experience. Everything was perfectly organized, and we couldn’t have asked for more.
The safari gave us the opportunity to see so many different animals, including the Big Five, as well as breathtaking landscapes and views.
Our guide, Laso, was exceptional: always available and attentive, making sure we had the best possible experience. He did his best to show us the most beautiful sights and gave us fascinating explanations about the animals, their lives, and their behavior. He was also very friendly and made the whole trip even more enjoyable.
The lodges where we stayed, Mara Chui and Lake Nakuru Lodge, also exceeded our expectations. They were welcoming and comfortable, with hot water and great food.
I highly recommend this safari agency, especially for their great availability and flexibility in organizing the tour. They were always willing to listen to our requests and adapt the experience to our needs.
Highly recommended!
