Knowledgeable and very responsive. Janet, our agent, was the consummate professional throughout our experience. She was attentive and accommodating during the planning process and made any requested changes in a timely manner. She was in constant contact with us throughout our trip and made sure to keep us informed of our itinerary and any changes that might have occurred. Our accommodations were first class. If you’re headed to Masai Mara request the Sarova Lodge and thank me later. The value for the money was superb. All of our guides and drivers were knowledgeable, professional and just good people all around. Our transfers were seamless. The safaris, mountain hikes, visits to local villages and beach experiences and everything in between were simply amazing. We highly recommend Janet and Javiva Adventures when planning your trip to Kenya and Tanzania.

Kindness！ I participated in the Amboseli Safari Tour for 3 days and 2 nights, starting in the afternoon. My flight arrived at the airport around 11am, so to save time and money, I chose to have the agent pick me up at the airport (free of charge). When I arrived at the airport, the agent called me on WhatsApp (there is FREE WiFi at the airport). I also received a message because I couldn't answer the phone. Perhaps because there was a waiting time, they arranged an Uber to a nearby mall and I decided to wait there (the Uber fare was paid by the agent). There was also a supermarket in the mall, which was very helpful in figuring out the prices. They clearly told me when and to whom I should pay the remaining tour fee (some of which I had paid in advance as a deposit). Also, if I had any questions during the tour, it was easy to ask them on WhatsApp. On the way back from the tour, they took me directly to my accommodation in Nairobi, which saved me time and money.

Experience the breath of the wild on the African savannah，it is worth it! We had a group of four people, two men and two women, and spent seven days and six nights on our safari, mainly visiting Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Bogoria, and Masai Mara. Overall, the safari experience was great; we saw many animals, and our guide, Caleb, was enthusiastic, humorous, and very attentive. Whenever we encountered animals we wanted to see, he would stop and let us observe before moving on. He also introduced us to a lot of knowledge about wildlife, local customs, and was also good at finding suitable parking spots in crowded areas so we could get a good view of the animals. On our way to Masai Mara, we passed by Caleb's hometown, and he invited us as guests to his family home. We felt the warmth of his family, which was an unexpected surprise in our itinerary. The four of us in one Land Cruiser felt very comfortable, with charging facilities available, and the open roof allowed us to view the animals without obstruction or feeling cramped. The accommodation varied in quality but was generally acceptable. The best place we stayed was Bogoria Green Resort at Lake Bogoria. The food provided every day was good, mostly buffet style. We also paid extra for a balloon safari experience, getting up at 3 AM, but it was worth it. As we were on a pravite tour, our guide Caleb would discuss the next day's itinerary with us at the end of everyday safari and helped us avoid city protests. The only day we spent almost entirely in the car was the long journey from Lake Bogoria to Masai Mara. Other than that, we had daily activities at sightseeing spots. Overall, the experience was great. We spent 1.5 days in Amboseli watching elephants and leopards, 0.5 days at Lake Naivasha taking a boat ride and interacting with animals up close on the island, and 0.5 days at Lake Bogoria primarily observing flocks of flamingos, which was spectacular. In Masai Mara, we spent a full day seeing lions, crocodiles, wildebeest herds and so many other animals, and experienced a memorable hot air balloon safari on the last morning. The memories were unforgettable and truly worth it. And the cost is 1960 USD per person in the high season, balloon safari fee not included.
