It was an amazing experience to witness the migration with my friend Jayden. Our driver John was quite knowledgeable and kind. He accommodated all our requests and managed to find all the big five for us even after witnessing the migration. I would definitely recommend him and Jamlan holiday safaris. Teddy who was our consultant was quite helpful too and recommended amazing accommodations for us .

Reliable, customer-centric, knowledgeable with extensive safari experience
We were very fortunate to have Sam as our driver and guide during our week long safari traversing Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara. Sam is well spoken and has a great sense of humour. He has excellent networks which enable him to seamlessly cut thru challenges and ensure a smooth and seamless safari experience. Sam is a safe driver and his patience on what can be very challenging road and driving conditions assured us that we were always safe. Sam is flexible and willingly accommodated changes to our plan due to unforeseen circumstances. As a foreigner travel in remote areas can be very daunting and having Sam with us gave us a feeling of safety. We will recommend Sam and Jamlan Holiday Safaris to our friends and family and look forward to using his services when we next visit this beautiful country. If you are looking for a safe and memorable wildlife experience, it just does not get better than Jamlan Holiday Safaris. Thanks Sam for looking after us and we look forward to staying in touch with you and wish you the best in growing your amazing business.
