Excellent service, very knowledgeable
Our guide, Owen, was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and always smiling. He is multi talented- electrical engineering background, plays music, and above all, he knew everything about the animals—their behavior, unique characteristics, and sounds—and even amused us by mimicking birds and animals. He always respected our interests and made sure we had the best opportunities for photos. I learned so much from him, including the story behind Serengeti Shall Not Die and the father-and-son filmmakers. Owen also made sure we were comfortable, checking on everyone during the “African massage” on bumpy roads. Communication was easy, and his calm driving, excellent wildlife spotting, and clear explanations made our safari smooth, safe, and unforgettable. We felt very lucky to have him.

An unforgettable safari with a guide (Kush) who truly goes the extra mile
We had an amazing 7-day private safari with Kush from JungleRoam, visiting Samburu, Hell’s Gate and the Masai Mara, and could not have asked for a better experience. A huge part of that was our guide, Kush, who really was the definition of going the extra mile.
From the beginning, Kush did everything he could to help us get the absolute maximum out of our safari. We usually entered the parks as early as possible and stayed until the last possible minute. He planned the routing extremely well, making sure we arrived and left at the right times, and was always flexible in adapting the days to what we wanted to see.
What we especially appreciated was that it never felt like we were simply ticking animals off a checklist. Kush regularly asked us what we were interested in and gave us plenty of time to actually observe the animals and their behaviour instead of immediately rushing to the next sighting. His passion for wildlife was obvious. He explained the animals, their behaviour and the environment in great detail, and you could really see how much he cares about them.
One particularly intense moment in Samburu showed us just how much he cares. We were watching a cheetah with its cub when it suddenly started walking towards a group of lions. One of the lions spotted the cheetah and immediately began chasing it. Everything happened incredibly quickly. Kush instantly got in touch with the other vehicles around us and helped coordinate an intervention to separate the lion and the cheetah. It was a very intense experience to witness, and his quick reaction may well have saved the cheetah’s life. Given how vulnerable cheetah populations are, we greatly appreciated how seriously Kush took the situation and how quickly he acted.
He was also constantly scanning for wildlife and somehow seemed to spot animals everywhere. Whenever there was an interesting sighting, he gave everything to get us into a good position, often before many of the other vehicles arrived. During the week we saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hyenas, crocodiles, hippos, ostriches, vultures, lots of different gazelles and all of the Samburu Special Five.
We were also lucky enough to experience some really memorable moments, including predators feeding on their kill, lions mating and warthogs with tiny piglets.
For anyone interested in photography, he is an excellent guide as well. He regularly gave us tips, positioned the Land Cruiser so we had the best possible light at sunrise and sunset, adjusted the vehicle whenever the animals moved, and anticipated where they were likely to go next. On several occasions this meant we had exactly the right angle when, for example, a lion suddenly turned or started walking towards us.
The three parks also complemented each other really well. Samburu gave us the arid landscapes and the Samburu Special Five, Hell’s Gate was completely different with the cycling safari, and the Masai Mara was incredible for the big cats. We genuinely enjoyed all three rather than feeling that one was just included as a stop on the way to another.
Our private Land Cruiser for the two of us was clean, spacious and very well equipped. There were power ports, a good pop-up roof, reclining seats, plenty of drinking water, picnic blankets and camping chairs. Kush also consistently found great places inside the parks for breakfast and lunch, which made the game-drive days even more enjoyable.
And despite the long days, there was never a shortage of entertainment. Kush was constantly joking and made us laugh throughout the week. If you appreciate sarcasm, he is definitely your guy.
The only small thing we think JungleRoam could improve is Payment option. It was either in cash or by online transfer with an additional 5% surcharge, neither of which is particularly convenient for a safari of this value. It would be great to have an easier card/payment option without such a high surcharge.
Thats only a minor point compared with what was an exceptional safari. Kush put an enormous amount of effort into making the seven days special for us, and it genuinely felt like he cared about us having the best possible experience rather than simply completing an itinerary.
We would absolutely recommend JungleRoam, and especially Kush. If we were to do another safari in Kenya, we would happily book with them again - and would definitely ask for Kush as our guide. Thanks, Kush for making us feel like family.
