Perfect!!! Choose this agency and you’ll never regret it!
Paul is a very reliable friend! He gave us a reasonable price (We've compared 4 agencies) and deliveried a perfect arrangement! Our safari guidance was Victor, he is a very professional guidance and a nice person. We got all BIG FIVE collected, and saw lion hunting, hyena and vulture fighting for food, lions mating.....and we took many wildlife pictures as we expected! That was a wonderful experience and exceeded expectations! I recommend this agency to all of you!!!! Friends in China, you have made the right choice. Paul who contacted us is very reliable and the guide is also very professional! Let's go!!

We
Brian planned our safari exactly according to our wishes, from the airport pickup in Nairobi to our departure for the journey home. He invested an incredible amount of time, answered every special request and question, and was always extremely attentive. Communication via WhatsApp was outstanding—he replied almost immediately and always offered helpful suggestions and solutions. We honestly couldn’t have imagined a better contact person. He even checked in with us regularly during the safari and went the extra mile by arranging a restaurant reservation for our last day in Nairobi. From the very beginning of the planning process until our safe return home, we felt exceptionally well cared for.
Our guide, Victor, was truly outstanding. On our drives to the parks (Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli), he shared an amazing amount of knowledge about the country, its people, and its wildlife—there was nothing he didn’t seem to know. He was an excellent driver, and we always felt completely safe and comfortable in the car. He took care of every detail, stayed with us at the lodges until after check-in to make sure everything went smoothly, and was always punctual the next morning, ready with our lunches. Thanks to him, we had an incredible experience, saw the Big Five, and learned so much about Kenya. He consistently went above and beyond to make our trip truly unforgettable.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Ramble—especially Brian and Victor. It was an absolute joy to have them make our safari such a memorable experience!

A Good Safari Made Better by Great People
We recently travelled with Ramble Africa Safaris and had a memorable experience overall—I’d rate it 4 out of 5.
What went well:
Both Paul and Victor were extremely responsive and supportive throughout. Victor, in particular, deserves a full 5 stars—he was not only an excellent safari guide but also incredibly kind and accommodating with our children. He handled everything with calm and care, including helping us when our daughter unexpectedly fell ill—he guided us through hospital visits and ensured we were comfortable and looked after.
The hotels were well chosen—beautifully located and surrounded by wildlife. The safaris themselves were a highlight, and Victor’s warmth and deep knowledge made them even more special. When we couldn’t travel to Amboseli as originally planned due to our daughter’s illness, Paul swiftly arranged flights for us the next day, allowing us to still enjoy that part of the trip. That kind of flexibility and service was deeply appreciated.
Where things could improve:
There were a few logistical issues that were difficult, especially with young kids:
- No one showed up to pick us up at Nairobi airport, and after a long international flight, we had to use roaming data and arrange our own Uber.
- The first day’s 7-hour drive to Masai Mara was rough, and by the time we arrived, the hotel said we were too late for lunch. Victor did his best, but it couldn’t be fixed—tough after such a long journey.
- In Naivasha, we didn’t get connecting rooms, which made things tricky as a family.
- On the drive back from Naivasha to Nairobi, we didn’t receive packed lunches—apparently because we had used them the previous day when we stayed back due to our daughter’s illness. Unfortunately, no one told us, and with no food stops on the way, it turned into a long, hangry journey. Plus, the driver (who wasn't Victor) told us to relax in the restaurant and eat, misjudging how much time we had. We took a takeaway to eat at the airport and just barely made the flight.
- None of the rooms we stayed in had air conditioning, which made a few hot afternoons and nights quite uncomfortable—this might be worth clarifying in advance, especially for families travelling with young children.
Final thoughts:
Despite these bumps, I would still recommend Ramble Africa Safaris—especially for Victor’s kindness, competence, and heart, and Paul’s responsiveness. With some improvement in logistics and clearer communication on comfort levels, this could easily become a 5-star experience.

Amazing Safari Experience
Embarking on a trip with Ramble Africa Safaris was an absolute delight! From breathtaking landscapes to captivating cultural experiences, every moment felt tailor-made for discovery. Our guide Victor was not just knowledgeable but a true storyteller, bringing each location to life. The adventure took me on an incredible journey through Maasai Mara's vast savannas, where I witnessed the mesmerizing wildlife. Lake Nakuru's vibrant birdlife left me in awe, and the majestic elephants of Amboseli against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro created unforgettable moments. Each destination was a unique slice of East Africa's natural wonders. What sets Ramble Africa Safaris apart is their commitment to creating not just a tour but a genuine connection with the destination. It's more than a trip; it's an immersive experience that lingers in your memories. I highly recommend Ramble Africa Safaris

Surreal and Magic
Where do I start? Let me begin from the beginning. Kenya and Masai Mara have been on our travel list for many years but every time we planned, we had to cancel it because of some reason or the other. Usually stupid reasons like time, weather, vaccination, visa etc etc but this time around, it was different.
From the word go, Ramble Africa and Paul helped us with all the details and requirements. Let me first talk about Paul. My wife and I are passionate travellers, we have travelled to more than 30 nations in the last 10 years or so and our basic assumption when interacting with people from other nations is that people are inherently good and helpful. Now, if you start with that assumption any small gesture would make you feel special but in the case of Paul, it was extraordinary. He is calm, he listens to respond and not react, he is helpful, he is responsible and then he works hard to make your plan and memorable one. So a big thank you to Paul.
Moving on, we booked a private Luxury tour by road from Nairobi to Mara and back to Nairobi. The pick-up was from our hotel in Nairobi and then a road trip. They say for any road trip to be memorable two things are critical: 1. Company and 2. Music. Well, for the company, I have married my best friend so that is usually sorted but this time we had two Masais with us: Edward ( the driver and the guide ) and Dickson (the Guide ). Both of them are nothing but godsend human beings, they made sure our trip was full of fond memories and epic pictures. Edward, now I call him Dr Bush is an outstanding off-road driver and Dickson is just humility and goodness personified. They both knew Masai Bushes like the back of their hands and they helped us witness 3 Killing: one Cheetah, One Leopard and 1 Lion Killing ( here they literally took us to the Pride dining hall). We had booked about 4-5 game drives in 4 nights along with a Village tour, bush dinner etc. Each of the activities was done with precision and love. Not once did Paul or Edward or Dickson avoided our calls or WhatsApp messages ( which is usually the case with tour operators ) neither did i ever find them bored or less on energy considering it is their everyday job. They were always happy to help and guide. We spotted so many animals that NAT GEO might be envious of me if i show them my pictures ( which i will not, these are my precious)
It only says that Ramble Africa is a product of passion: Passion for Masai Mara, Travel and Emotion to make people smile and leave Kenya with a promise to come back again and again and again.
My wife and I will always be indebted to their support and plan and cannot thank them enough for the experiences and memories we have come back with.
In a nutshell
With Ramble Africa : Masai Mara Tour : Hakuna Matata.
and Ya, Music: Edward has one of the best country music lists. hands down.
Thanks

The perfect and unforgettable Africa experience.
An excellent experience for our first time in Africa. From the booking process, the guide service, and administration's attention. Everyone at Ramble was impecable; their goal was simple: make our African adventure be perfect and smooth in every aspect.
They adapted our needs and wishes to build a perfect itinerary, keeping our budget and wishlist as a priority. Since before landing we felt good and taken care of, BRIAN was always checking in on anything that we would need in our process. Our guide VICTOR was a 10/10, we've travel a lot, and guides like VICTOR are hard to find, he is excellence when it comes to quality and passion, we could feel how passionate he was on showing us the beauty of Africa with another perspective, where we were learning so much every day throughout our trip.
The Hotels and accommodation were picked perfectly for what we needed, all of the meals excellent, and the itinerary fit perfectly with what we wanted to see on our trip. There wasn't any better way for us to feel completely comfortable, it is the definition of only relaxing and enjoying the ride. We were able to just live the adventure of what an Africa Safari offers. (Ramble has a lot of inside tricks to get out the best of nature).
There are no remarks I could give to the service and experience we had. If you want to go on safari Ramble is the way to go. I am only eager to go back again, and when I do, I know for a fact that Ramble will be the first ones to call. Thank you BRIAN, thank you PAUL, and special thanks to VICTOR. You all have made possible our dream come true. Thank you Ramble!

Fantastic Kenyan safari experience
When booking, it was easily customisable to what we wanted and they were very transparent with the price. They followed the full itinerary as agreed. The guide Victor was absolutely excellent. He was very knowledgable about the wild animals, different landscapes and the history of Kenya. We would highly recommend the company and the guide Victor.
Additionally, they made my birthday week special by getting the hotel to do a little celebration for me. It was a beautiful moment.

We loved our guide Jack, he's soft, knowledgeable, patient and knows where to go spot game.
When I visited Kenya, first time in Africa I had a wild experience.
A friend referred me to this team, Brian was very responsive, he was keen to factor my input and advise accordingly. We had a great moment, with great hotel choices with nice staff. We loved our guide Jack, he's soft, knowledgeable, patient and knows where to go spot game. I would go on and on but I'd certainly recommend this team.

Great safari experience
A very special thank you to Maurice, our guide in the Masai Mara. He was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and environment, and always shared fascinating insights that made every game drive exciting and educational. His sharp eyes helped us spot animals we might have missed, and his calm, professional manner made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout.
Our overall experience with the safari was excellent, and Maurice played a big part in making our time in the Masai Mara truly unforgettable.

We had the most incredible safari thanks to the seamless organization by Paul Oduor. He was so helpful in planning the perfect trip for our family of ten—myself, my wife, our three children with their spouses, and our two grandchildren. The logistics were flawless, and the entire experience was a dream come true for everyone.
The journey itself was unforgettable, taking us through the breathtaking landscapes of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Samburu, and Amboseli. Each park offered a unique and spectacular experience, from the vast plains of the Mara to the iconic elephants of Amboseli.
A huge part of what made our trip so special were our amazing driver-guides, Victor and Morris. Their knowledge was exceptional, and they knew exactly where to find the wildlife, making every game drive an adventure. They were also so patient and kind with our whole family, especially our grandchildren, and their passion for the animals and the environment was contagious. They truly went above and beyond to ensure we all had a fantastic time.
This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that created memories we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend this experience and extend our heartfelt thanks to Paul for his expert planning and to Victor and Morris for being such incredible guides.
