Good experience, attentive staff
My safari experience to Maasai Mara was well-organized and enjoyable. The staff was attentive, responsive, and always made an effort to ensure our needs were met, which made the trip comfortable and smooth.
The drive from Nairobi to Maasai Mara is long, but the scenic views of the Kenyan landscape made it an adventure of its own. The staff ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey, which helped make the ride pleasant.
The tour guides and drivers were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. They were dedicated to helping us spot wildlife and shared detailed insights about the animals and their environment, making the game drives both exciting and informative. Their professionalism, patience, kindnesd and effort were evident at every turn.
Overall, the safari was a memorable experience, and I would recommend it to anyone planning to visit Maasai Mara. The team’s competence and attentiveness made it worthwhile.

Unforseen expenditures with your tour guide
Great exploring with your tour guide. He was amazing and humours. Takes you to an astonishing experience ever in your life. You can see various of wild life such as lions, elephants , giraffes, rhinos, hippos, eagles and so on.
When it comes to sleeping and staing in accommodation and tent, a lodge was a bit hot, no AC but there is fan. Tents are enough big for two people but a bit tight for three adults.
Last but not least, food and drinks are generally good and authentic african food every evening during touring. For breakfast, you can enjoy with some coffee and nice pancake, eggs, breads, and some sausages. But do not expect lunch 😅 lunch is same all the time and chicken was overcooked and a bit rough.
Overall, I would like to recommend you to come this tour for chasing new experiences!

Still recommended, but need more improvement
I booked the 7D6N Safari Tour with Jocky
Tour, covering Maasai Mara -Lake
Naivasha - Lake Nakuru - Hell's Gate-Amboseli.
Good Experience:
The first 5 days of the safari, guided by
John from Jocky Tour, were very good.
John's deep knowledge of wildlife and his
ability to explain the behavior and
characteristics of the animals made the
experience truly enriching. He was punctual,patient, and responsible, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey.
Bad Experience:
Unfortunately, my experience during the last two days in Amboseli were disappointed. After the Hell's Gate trip, I was transferred to another
tour agency: Cover Kenia Safari. The guide,
Kikitu from Cover Kenia Safari , did not meet my expectations.
On the first day's full day game drive, he was 40 minutes late, which impacted not able to see much animals as by the time we arrived at Amboseli National Park, the weather was too hot, animals was hide at somewhere else.
Besides, on the final day pre-morning game drive, the schedule was cut short to
accommodate one of the participant in this group traveling to Tanzania. As a result, the whole group only had an hour in Amboseli before heading to Tanzania border. This change significantly affected my itinerary, as we returned to Nairobi at 12 PM instead of the originally planned end time of around 4 PM.
Not only that, Kikitu's driving skill is too dangerous. Even driving in the road outside safari, also extremely fast which make the participants felt extremely unsafe.

12 days Uganda experience with Lulu Safaris, it was a great adventure
We did a 12-day tour which was completely taken care of by Lulu Safaris. Together with our guide and driver Samuel, we have been to all the interesting places in Uganda from Kampala. What a wonderful experience that was. Samuel completely unburdened us and expertly drove past rhinos, giraffes, elephants, chimpanzees, gorillas and what not. With a lot of expertise he showed us what beautiful birds there are. During the rides in nice conversations he told a lot about his country, life in Uganda and many other interesting things. 11 days together in a car could lead to discussion or unpleasant silences. That was not the case with us, we talked about anything and everything and got along just fine. We made the trip with the two of us and the nice thing about this setup is that you also make the game drives with your own vehicle so that you can stop where you want and take as long as you think necessary. The planning with all lodges and organizations was perfectly arranged, we were expected everywhere and were on time for all appointments, which deserves a compliment. The car in which we made the tour was an original Toyota Land Cruiser 70 series with a roof that could be opened, perfect for the game drives and completely in style for an optimal experience. We really enjoyed our trip through Uganda and thank everyone who contributed to this.

Amazing safari experience from an amazing team.
My wife and I had been looking for a vacay when we started searching on internet before landing at Roamroars social posts. We inquiring for their packages, and they were sent to us real quick. We wanted a safari and a beach relaxation both combined and they created a custom one for us. Jack our 4*4 driver and tour guide, was with us all along and really showed us great love and guidance throughout our safari until the last day we parted at the Kenyan coast. Honestly, this safari exceeding our expection. We thought Kenya is a very very hot place but we really enjoyed the warm weather. There were also no mosquitoes in the camps that we slept. This is absolutely value for money. Should you need a safari, get roamroar do it for you. There are a lot of things that they helped us in bookings that we couln't have done it by ourselves.

Great budget option to see Maasai mara
Alex was a great tour guide, he invested a lot of energy in ensuring we had a great time exploring the reserve. The accomodation was also good, food plentiful and the staff friendly. One downside was that the accomodation was overbooked so I had to share a room despite paying for private accomodation.
Very customer friendly and willing to accommodate special requests and tailor the experience.
Berlinda is focussed on the customer and accommodating individual schedules and interests. She is also great at keeping you up to date as you plan the itinerary and finalise the trip.

Friendly, knowledgeable, responsive, attentative
My husband and I did the 10 day Kenya & Tanzania safari. We truly enjoyed the Kenya portion of the safari. The accommodations and the food were all very good, although the boxes lunches can get a little old after a while. 2 out of 6 being hot lunches. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, & quick to the animals.
We knew going into the Tanzania portion that accommodations would be budget (meaning tent camping). We had no issue with that. The food was also very good. The new guide was friendly & could spot the animals from afar. A little bit of a language barrier so made conversation a little difficult.
The only thing we would complain about is the condition of the safari vehicle. It almost felt unreliable. Gages didn’t work, roof leaked, seats were very uncomfortable, windows were hard to open. Just seemed very aged compared to the almost new vehicle in the Kenya portion of safari. With most of your time spent driving you felt fairly uncomfortable by the end of the day. Not sure if it was a super eagles vehicle as it had no Super Eagles logos.
Over all would recommend for midrange safari.
