Amazing unforgetable experience!
Wow! It's been over two months since the end of our safari and I still haven't stopped thinking about it. It was perfect every step of the way. We took the 7 day economical tour and we got more than our money's worth. James met us at the start of the tour and was super friendly. Robin was our guide for the trip and I couldn't say enough good things about him! He was kind, fun, and had an absolutely insane eye for spotting animals! We not only saw the big five, but the big nine, and more! The accommodations were great too, not super posh, but more than acceptable and comfortable, with good food, and such great people. I would recommend them to anyone and when I go back, they're the first people I'll be looking up!

Great and safe safari experience.
My daughter and I had the best experience with Mararumi Safaris. Robin (Robinson), our driver made it a lot of fun by customizing it for us. We chose this company because of their great communication and prices. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. I would recommend them and I would go with them again.

An absolute value for money!!
What an incredible value for money!! Right from the moment we asked for a quote for our safari we were treated with kindness by the owner, James, who provided us with detailed information on the parks, the lodges, the pricing, the route etc. so we had a good understanding of what we could expect and stayed in touch with any further relevant information. Upon arrival at the airport we received a warm welcome by James and Robin, our guide and driver during our stay in Kenya and were given a thoughtful and typical welcome present. We started our safari in Amboseli and continued to Lake Nakuru and then Masai Mara, which according to us is absolutely the best route and we would not recommend the other way around as many other tour operators do. The car with open roof was well taken care of and made clean every day. It offered a lot of space for our family and was equipped for the off-road terrain. It even had chargers, unlimited bottles of water, extra pillows for comfort etc. The lodges were excellent! All fairly luxurious, located in great locations in the parks or right next to the park and amidst the wildlife, with amazing views, very good food, comfortable and clean lodging and with plenty of facilities like swimming pool, bar, etc. Robin was an amazing guide! A calm driver, very friendly, well organized, with a lot of knowledge, always available, great with our children. They actually missed him when we continued our trip to another country. Robin was also keen on making sure we saw all that we came for. Don’t hesitate and book with Marurumi!

Memorable and amazing
Amazing trip with so many memories. Robinson, our driver and guide, was fantastic. He helped navigate the way and helped us understand what we were to do next. Each place we went to offered a different experience.

Amazing trip
I had an amazing trip with my guide Robie. The entire trip was well organized and Robie was very attentive. The hotel at Masai Mara was over booked, but Robie explained to me very well and I got to stay at another hotel (Simba Mara) with amazing experience.

Absolutely amazing!
We had a fantastic time with Marurumi! As this was our first time on safari and in Africa we were initially apprehensive, however there was no need to be as we were in very safe hands with our guide Robin and absolutely everything exceeded our expectations. Communication prior to our trip was excellent - James was always very prompt and happy to answer any questions we had. On arrival in Nairobi, we were met by James, Robin and Ivy. James provided thorough introductions and reviewed the itinerary, ensuring we were happy before we left for our safari. Across our six days we stayed in 3 different camps and visited 3 different parks (Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara) all of which were fantastic. The hotels were of exceptional quality with fantastic food, service and amenities (we chose the budget package, but the hotels and service were anything but!). The staff's hospitality was unmatched, they regularly asked how our safari was going, what we had seen that day as well as consistently inquiring about our well-being and ensuring our comfort. Opting for a private safari granted us the flexibility to tailor our itinerary. Robin expertly suggested timings to maximise our experience, yet graciously accommodated our requests if we fancied a later start. The game drives were exceptional. We saw over 40 different types of animals and not only did we see the ‘big 5’ across the first 4 days, we were also extremely lucky to see all 5 in one day during our last day at the Masai Mara - very rare and absolutely amazing! This was in large part down to Robin and his knowledge of the locations we visited. Considering the size of the parks and the sometimes elusive nature of certain animals Robin expertly guided us throughout the day as well as providing information about the animals and parks and sometimes being our photographer! Finally, we must extend special recognition to our fantastic guide Robin who really made our trip unforgettable. Robin's brilliance and tireless dedication ensured that our trip surpassed all expectations - nothing was too much trouble, and we couldn’t have asked for better. Robin was extremely professional but also very personable and friendly and it was great to get to know him over the week. His commitment to our satisfaction and his fervour for showcasing all that his country and its parks had to offer really made an impression on us. He eagerly shared insights into safari and Kenyan culture, even going the extra mile to teach us a few phrases in Swahili (despite our sometimes-faltering attempts!). Robin's unwavering enthusiasm and genuine care made him an invaluable part of our experience. Throughout the week, Robin consistently went the extra mile to ensure our trip was truly exceptional. A small example of his dedication was on our departure day when, despite our evening flight, he stayed with us until 7 pm, ensuring we weren’t waiting around at the airport. We had a fantastic trip with Marurumi and can’t thank them and Robin enough. We wholeheartedly intend to recommend them to our friends and family. We were very sad to leave Kenya and our guide Robin - but we will definitely be back!

Amazing safari experience!
The safari with Marurumi safaris was amazing! The communication was fast and clear and they arranged everything perfectly. Mr Robinson was our guide and was a great tour guide. He went out of his way to show us all the animals, which he could all identify, really took his time and was always friendly and patient. The accomodations we slept in were also great. It was a good mix of different surroundings, the food was always good and the staff very friendly. It was especially very special to sleep in a hotel where the girafs and zebra’s just walk around! I think the price-quality ratio was very good. We would recomment Marurumi safaris

Perfect experience
We booked a seven day private Land Cruiser safari throw the Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo west parks. Marurumi is an ambitious agency that perfectly manages to combine the solidity of a stable company with the attention of a family business. They organize sartorial experiences with obsessive attention to detail and professionalism. The organization was impeccable, we felt like family. Our guide James followed us with care and great professionalism, managing to show us over 70 different species of animals (including all the big five) giving us precise explanations of their behaviour. All accommodation and facilities were above expectations. Highly recommended!

Great experience with Marurumi Safaris (Private Tour 6-days Amboseli, Nakuru and Masai Mara)
We chose this company because of the low price, fast and detailed communication. And we were not disappointed. We had an amazing driver/guide Robie who became a friend over the 6 days of the safari. He was very sweet, a great driver and we were often first in the games. Although the car was old, it was clean. We always had enough water in the car. Robie solved all technical problems quickly and with a smile. The accommodation exceeded expectations, especially the Masai Mara. The food everywhere was delicious and there was a large selection. A suggestion for improvement would be to have at least 1 pair of binoculars in the car. I recommend that you ask about the car before the safari, it is always better to choose a 4x4 jeep, because it will be easier to pass on difficult roads, especially after the rain, and the windows are bigger.

Top safari
Went on safari with James for 7 days in January. He is also the owner. Always cheerful, knowledgeable, helpful and a good driver. Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Super lodges selected. Unfortunately we just didn't spot the big 5. But otherwise had a great experience. Do you want to go on safari in Kenya, Marurumi it is! Thanks for everything...
