Day 1
Your driver-guide reports to your hotel for the start of the safari, with a departure for a picturesque drive descending the Great Rift Valley and onwards to the Masai Mara, Kenya's famous game reserve. Stop briefly en route at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of an enormous valley system said to be visible from outer space. You'll arrive in the Masai Mara in time for lunch. After lunch, you'll go for an afternoon game drive, which will allow spotting of the magnificent wildlife in the park. The reserve is known for providing excellent predator sightings thanks to its relatively large population of lion, cheetah, and leopard. Bordering Tanzania, the Mara is in the northern extension of the Serengeti and forms a wildlife corridor between the two countries. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the camp.

5.0/5Safari with Jacmiya Safaris was the adventure of a lifetime and the fulfillment of our dreams. Kenya has something truly extraordinary about it and will remain in our hearts forever—we will definitely return one day with more friends. We are very grateful for the meticulous planning of our trip, which was exciting, colorful, and full of unforgettable experiences. Jackie, our contact person was truly amazing. She was able to respond to all our questions, changing itineraries time by time until we were fully satisfied with what we wanted. She could even send us messages during the safari just to ensure we were safe. We really felt at home with them ,a very hospitable team indeed. Special thanks go to our guide, as the success of this journey was largely thanks to him. Julius showed us far more than we expected—we saw the Big Five and many other animals, always had the best views, were close to the wildlife, and were able to take beautiful photos. Julius is a wonderful person who truly cared about making our trip unforgettable. Thank you Jacmiya Safaris, we will visit again and definitely book with them

We visited Kenya for the December holiday with my wife. We were met by our guide John at Tamarind Hotel in Nairobi where our excellent safari had just began. Having such a knowledgeable and friendly guide just added to our experience. We travelled to the Masai Mara arriving at the Sarova Mara camp which was very relaxing and comfortable with great staff. We had 2 days Safari there seeing some beautiful animals lions,Cheetah, Elephant, Hippos,Warthogs, Hyenas and lots more. We then travelled to Lake Nakuru staying at the Sarova Lion Hill Lodge and on our game drives managed to see Rhinos, Lions, Baboons and lots of bird life. We would highly recommend this package and taking the option of a private Land Cruiser. Booking a group safari might sometimes turn out not fun since there's no flexibility at all. John was very attentive and he played a big role to the success of our trip. My wife and I really enjoyed we will definitely come back again. Thank you JACMIYA SAFARIS for making our safari a success!

In January we set out on our second trip to Kenya and once again we were blown away by how well everything was organised. This time we booked online through Jacmiya and Joseph who set everything up did a fantastic job putting the whole trip together for us. He really listened to what we wanted, adjusted the itinerary until it was exactly what we were looking for and made the whole process feel easy and stress‑free. We were lucky enough to have John as our guide, and he was just as good, His knowledge of Kenya, the wildlife, and all the parks was brilliant. He’s one of those guides who can somehow spot animals from unbelievable distances pointing out things we never would’ve noticed ourselves. He looked after us from start to finish and made everyday fun, relaxed, and memorable. Jacmiya did a fantastic job with the overall organisation and every swap of location was as seamless as our first trip, they make it look so effortless. That same level of care absolutely came through on this second visit as well. Just like before, we always felt at ease and well taken care of from both Jacmiya and their team to all the people we met along the way at lodges and hotels that were chosen for us to which we must say were amazing. After two incredible trips, we can confidently say that Joseph, John, and the whole Jacmiya team are exceptional. Whether it’s your first safari or your fifth, you’ll be in great hands.

My 6 days safari with Jacmiya Safaris just left me with endless memories. I was a solo traveller and they truly took good care of me. Joseph, the guy who was in contact with me during the planning stage was really quick with his responses. I could message him with several changes and still get them done promptly. Much appreciation to John, my tour guide who did all he can to make the safari a success. John knew nearly everyone in the park, and that made me feel like he really knew his work well and very famous. He could make calls to his colleagues asking for best spots and within no minute, we were there. I was lucky to see all the BIG FIVE and the most interesting part was seeing the killing- very rare sightings as I was informed. Thank you Jacmiya Safaris, I will surely recommend them to my friends.
