Budget safari without having felt for 1 minute that this budget was - Super from start to finish. Elias was altyd ready to answer one of my thousands of questions. Pick-UP EN to hotel was smooth, up to masaai mara rij DEn was cozy and sleepy in the tents was authentic. Elias has given us guidance to numerous animals (lions, antelopes, buffalo, elephants and a phenomenal sunset). We are e EN belgian gezi EN of 4 (2 adults and a daughter of 9 and son of 7). Also DE kinder EN thought it was magisterial and now have a much deeper meaning to ‘hakuna matata’! This was a budget safari but really nothing to criticize (either it should be that we didn't have a fridge in DE car (but an extra seat) or that we had a nice lunch on a picnic blanket instead of folding chairs):)

Unforgettable Safari with the Best Guides! - We had an amazing time with JungleRoam Safaris! Everything was well-organized, the lodges were comfortable, and the food was great. But what really made the trip unforgettable were our guides, Andrew and Jeff—they were fun, reliable, and incredibly knowledgeable. If you're looking for a well-priced adventure with the best guides, this is it!

Unforgettable Memories of the Masai Mara! Thanks Stanley!! - Who you chose to book with matters, and the tour guide assigned, matters just as much. I booked the tour directly through Jungle Roam Safaris. The communication with the staff in the months and weeks leading up to our trip, was excellent. They promptly answered any questions/concerns I had. They placed us at ease long before we arrived in Kenya. For the full duration of the Safari, we were assigned Stanley as our tour guide! We really, really got lucky!! Stanley is a seasoned guide, with many years of experience under his belt. He used this experience to ensure that we went to the places that gave us the best opportunities to see as many animals as we could; we did not drive around aimlessly as we saw other less experienced tour guides doing. We saw many animals, and even a couple of game hunts! Amazing! He also used his is experience and knowledge to give us great insights into not only the animals we saw, but also the places we visited and the people we encountered particularly the Maasai people. We stayed a the Lenchada Tourist camp. We were fully prepared to stay in a tent, but were given an actual room with an attached bathroom and shower. Yeah! The staff was very friendly, however the food (which does not include a complimentary beverage) was bland, and there wasn't a variety. The trip to the Maasai village is a must! They have such a rich history, and their daily life is deeply rooted in tradition. We got to dance and sing with some members of the tribe, sit by the firepit in their home and even pet their animals, which is the lifeblood of this tribe. Overall we had an amazing experience, and would recommend this tour, the company Jungle Roam Safaris, and the Tour guide, Stanley, to anyone planning a Safari to Kenya!

The best tour guide ever! - We had an amazing time on this tour with Stanley! He is very knowledgeable and got us very close to the animals. He was very kind to us and made sure we had An amazing experience. In the three days 2 of the days we are on the reserve. You are allowed to switch out the Maasai village and pay another 100$ for the entry but I don’t recommend missing the Maasai village. We saw 3 of the big 5… lions, water buffalo, and elephants. We saw multiple hunts from lions which is Amazing to see the strategy from the lionesses. The only thing is we stayed at camp lechanda I believe is what it’s called- I have no problem camping out but it’s is very much camping you are on real beds and some cabins have bathrooms others you share the camp bathroom. The food wasn’t that great and they shut off the power at a certain time. I would say if you can spend the extra money please do so. All In the tour company was amazing and our tour guide was the best on our whole trip!

Top rated tour operator with expert guide John! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Unforgettable Safari Experience with Guide John! Our Jungle Roam Safari was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the real highlight of the trip was our tour guide, John. His deep knowledge of the local wildlife, keen eye for spotting animals, and friendly, professional demeanor made the entire experience both educational and exciting. John went out of his way to ensure we had the best views and photo opportunities, while also keeping everyone safe and comfortable throughout the journey. His passion for nature is infectious, and he shared fascinating facts about the animals and ecosystem that really enriched the tour. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, and so much more—all in their natural habitat. The memories we made on this safari will stay with us forever. If you're planning a safari adventure, I highly recommend Jungle Roam Safari—and definitely ask for John as your guide!

Incredible safari experience as solo traveller - Jungleroam made my solo traveller safari experience smooth and comfortable from start to finish. Good communications with the office and our guide James was awesome. I was looking for an easy, 3 day budget but comfortable and safe experience with lots of animal sightings. My expectations were exceeded! We were in a tented camp with a comfy bed, mozzy net and built in private washroom. The food was fresh, catered for gluten free needs and staff really friendly. There were other options for higher end accommodation but I was more than happy sleeping in the nature. More importantly we saw LOADS of animals!

Amazing Safari - We had an excellent time on the safari. Our driver, Robin, was very kind and we were thrilled to see all of the Big Five. The 4x4 vehicle was comfortable and in great condition, which made the experience even better. We had an amazing adventure and I would definitely recommend this safari. Suggestion for improvement: It would have been helpful if Robin was more communicative—explaining the itinerary, upcoming stops, and sharing more information throughout the day would enhance the experience even more. And also, would be nice if the company provided binoculus, or tell us to bring ours
