I strongly recommend the Jorado Safari. Teresa the person who organized our itinerary was very polite, quick response. Our guide Felix was the best and made our trip to Kenya. I did a lot of search before booking the Safari and Jorado had the best price. My boyfriend and I did Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East. We enjoyed each minute of our experiencia. My trip of my life Thank you so much Jorado
Angélica Alves · Canada
Our 7-day Kenyan Midrange Safari with Jorado Safaris was an incredible journey! Raggen was extremely attentive during the planning process, ensuring every detail matched our preferences. John, our guide, was fantastic—his knowledge of Kenya’s wildlife and landscapes was unmatched. We explored iconic parks like Amboseli and Maasai Mara, encountering majestic elephants, cheetahs, and even a rare leopard. The midrange accommodations were comfortable and well-situated, offering breathtaking views and delicious meals. Every moment of this trip felt magical, and we couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.
