I booked a one-day safari to Lake Nakuru National Park from Nairobi with Lejama Tours this past July, and it exceeded all my expectations! Visiting during the dry July season was ideal the cool Great Rift Valley weather made for comfortable game viewing, and the wildlife activity around the lake was incredible. Our day began with a punctual early-morning pickup in Nairobi. We traveled in a well-maintained safari vehicle featuring a pop-up roof, which proved essential once inside the park. It offered 360-degree views for spotting wildlife across the acacia woodlands and lakeshore. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and handled the scenic drive down the Rift Valley escarpment effortlessly. Our tour guide Mr Japheth Mwanzia, made the experience unforgettable. He was professional, welcoming, and deeply knowledgeable about the park’s wildlife. Thanks to his sharp eyes and tracking expertise, we spotted rare black and white rhinos grazing up close, Rothschild’s giraffes, buffaloes, lions, and flocks of flamingos and pelicans lining the water. He also drove us up to Baboon Cliff for a panoramic view of the entire lake basin. His pacing was spot-on, ensuring we never felt rushed despite the single-day itinerary. Lejama Tours executed the entire day seamlessly, balancing comfortable transit, expert guiding, and magnificent wildlife sightings. I highly recommend booking with them for anyone wanting a high-quality day safari from Nairobi

In August 2026, my two friends and I had an amazing three-day safari to the Maasai Mara with Lejama Tours from Nairobi. From the beginning to the end, the trip was well organized, enjoyable, and full of unforgettable memories. Our tour guide was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable about the Maasai Mara and its wildlife. He made the game drives exciting by explaining the different animals, their behavior, and the surrounding environment. He was also excellent at spotting wildlife, and we were lucky to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and many other animals in their natural habitat. The safari vehicle was comfortable, clean, and spacious, making our long drives much more enjoyable. It also provided excellent views during the game drives, allowing us to take plenty of photos and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The Maasai Mara itself was breathtaking, especially during the August season. The landscapes, wildlife, and peaceful surroundings made the experience truly special. We never felt rushed and had enough time to enjoy every moment. Overall, my two friends and I had a fantastic experience with Lejama Tours. The excellent guide, comfortable vehicle, and great organization made our safari memorable. I would definitely recommend Lejama Tours to anyone planning a Maasai Mara adventure.
