Flexible
The booking and communication was very easy. They were always available. The lodges fit the price. Once i was staying at a complety different lodge then my group which wasn't that practical. A thing i didn't like is that when i got picked up by the taxi driver i had to tip him almost 2000 kenyan shillings. This driver was organized by Moraj Travel. I could have done it cheaper.

Everything was perfectly organized.
Our driver Dullah was a driving encyclopedia. He saw even the smallest bird and stopped for us. Totally cheerful drivers. We couldn't have had it better.

One of the finest places to do a safari
We stayed in the Mugie Conservancy of the Laikipia paleau, a magical place mainly because of the lack of tourists. We have stayed here for 10 nights, doing morning and afternoon safari's every day and had to share a sighting with at max 2 other vehicles. The chances of seeing lion and elephants are good, cheetah decent, leopard rare and rhino is not present in this area.
But I loved the feeling of being the only visitors in an area ruled by animals.
A slight negative thing about the Mugie Conservancy is the tar road splitting the conservancy. With influences the bush vibes slightly. Also there are lots of local farmers present which btw did not bother me at all. In fact, it's very interesting to see how the conservancy makes sure farmers and wildlife can co-exist in the same area.
The possibility to off-road in this area is also very nice and give greet opportunities. All in all a very nice place to visit!

Fantastic
We had a lovely experience with Lungie thank you, he put in every effort to make sure we had the best angles to view the animals and get photos. He picked us up at the correct times and made effort to make sure we was prepared for the dust.
A very lovely man that gave us a wonderful experience who was very educated about the animals and the area, we learnt a lot from him. The camp was also very beautiful and clean.
Amazing value for money. But maybe need a new car soon
Make sure you read the full quote as sometimes the return flight isn’t included.
Many thanks

Rose was very professional and very responsive, and helped tailor the trip to our needs
Working with Januz safaris was very easy, great responsiveness and good adaptability. The tour operator helped tailor the trip to our needs as we had a tighter schedule. Value for money is there, most of the accommodation we stayed in was great, however a couple were not so good (weak to no wifi/bad food). Another point to add is that the driver/tour guide did not seem to have a lot of experience, not much information while on the safaris unless he was asked, and was a lot of the times rushed to end the day and messed up the itinerary a little, but was good at finding animals that were difficult to find and we saw lots of great scenes. This particular tour guide was free lance so we hope that Januz Safaris will employ or work with more qualified tour guides in the future as they have a fantastic team and great potential.

Good in sticking to planned tours and all friendly staffs! Cleans our room nicely
Very good value for money and delicious food. The only slight thing i would say is the showers. The water temperature in the shower changes to too hot and then to cold constantly. The tour guides (Great and Mr Lambs) were very friendly and we wish them all the best!
The sunset drive was spectacular with Andrews and Gift. Followed by the Kruger drive with Mr Lambs - we saw Casper the white lion, leopard, wild dogs, and other animals.
The food was delicious, and shout out to the cleaning lady who made our beds and nicely packed our suitcases when we came back from a long day.
The panorama tour was nice, lots of driving tho.
I would definitely recommend this to my friends who haven’t been to the kruger/Hoedspruit before!

Very good price basic service
I booked with them the Kilimanjaro and 4 days safari.
Everything was fine there, I only would have preferred to feel more reassured during the reservation and during the whole process. Nelson is nice but makes everything easy, while you're 5000 km away and have no idea of what will happen.
The price is very good compared to other companies but for this reason every service is ok but not amazing.
Still a good deal for me.
The guides, the drivers, the cooks and everyone else there have to chill about tips. It's not mandatory and they become aggressive and annoying if you don't tip.
Very bad, this thing have to change, not just for them but for the hole country.

Great and affordable Safari
We hired the 6 days safari. It started really good. They were genenerous to give us another hotel night since our flight arrived at an inconvenience time. They picked us up at the airport and our safari guide was Ricardo, he started explaining life in the city since we met him. He was very friendly and very informative. We had a problem with our bags and they were very helpful with that as well.
During the safari, Ricardo was very eager to show us all the animals. He gave us a lot of information about the animals's behaviour, tanzanian culture and also about plants. He was an excellent guide and driver.
The food was very tasty, we really liked it.
If I have to say something negative, it would be that in many hotels we didn't have hot water to shower. And some days it was hot during the day and we didn't have a cold bottle of water. They were always warm. We didn't have sodas after day 3 so that sucked. And the last thing to improve, you should definitely have more binoculars. We were 4 in that car, including the guide and the cook, and we had to "fight" for it.
Overall, it was a great experience. We saw the big 5 and lots and lots of animals.

amazing
The guides for the Mari Triangle and the staff of & beyond resort were fabulous. Their attention to detail and courtesy were the best I have seen in years! Game drives never failed to delight! The variety of animals, watching their behaviors without needing binoculars, was a reminder of the variety of creatures in the world that one hopes will remain safe always. Go, expand your mind and heart in Kenya!

Amazing, especially the forests, rivers, lakes, chimps and gorillas. Bwindi is unforgetable. Kazinga channel, with so many elephants is wonderful.
Tubale safaris is great!
