Experience
The safari was truly memorable. We were picked up right from our accommodation, and all of our needs and expectations were met.
Our driver, Jared, was attentive, knowledgeable, and amazing at spotting animals and getting us close enough for incredible views while always making us feel safe. He was always laughing and joking, which made the safari even more fun. He also knew so much about the animals and shared many interesting facts throughout the trip, making the experience both exciting and educational.
We highly recommend this safari and especially Jared as a guide and in June (less people)!

Family Safari Experience 🦒
Returning to the Masai Mara after six years was a wonderful experience, particularly because of how well they organised our entire trip from Nairobi to the Masai Mara. They were responsive and quick to reply from the very first email, accommodating all our requests and offering fair prices. Everything was very well organised, right down to our hot-air balloon ride, which was truly special. Thank you very much, Albert and Jared. Our children (aged 10 and 5), well all of us had a really lovely experience :)

It is especially rewarding to hear that Albert and Jared helped make your experience a memorable one and that your hot-air balloon safari was such a special highlight.

Very nice experience with Jared who knew how to adapt to our aspirations.
Thank you for her answers to my husband's many questions.
A very good memory for us of these 3 days in Massi Mara, including African massage:-)

Highly professional safari operator with an outstanding guide
This was my first safari experience, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better introduction.
We did a 3-night, 4-day safari to Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara with African Home Safaris to celebrate my 10th wedding anniversary, and the entire trip was extremely well organised from start to finish. From planning to execution, everything ran smoothly.
The booking and coordination were handled by Albert, who was consistently responsive and professional throughout a long planning process that involved multiple itinerary changes. All logistics, transfers, accommodations, and park entries were handled without any issues.
We stayed at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge and Zebra Plains Mara River Camp. Both were very comfortable, had great food, and we were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded due to travelling in the off-season. For the price we paid, the overall value was excellent compared to other operators we had explored.
Our guide, Jared, deserves special mention. He was with us throughout the trip and was consistently calm and friendly. His knowledge of the parks, animals, and their behaviour was impressive, and his wildlife spotting skills were exceptional. At one point, I jokingly made a list of animals I wanted to see, and somehow, over the course of just three safari drives, we managed to see almost all of them, including the Big Five.
We saw lions, elephants, rhinos (both white and black), cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, and even the elusive leopard. On the final day, despite missing an early leopard sighting due to a late start, Jared patiently brought us back to the area later and we eventually saw it. That kind of persistence made a real difference.
The safari vehicle was spacious, clean, and very comfortable for long drives. Road conditions were not always easy due to rain, but Jared’s driving was excellent and always felt safe.
Nothing felt rushed, nothing felt chaotic, and the experience felt very well balanced especially for someone new to safaris.
I would strongly recommend African Home Safaris. The professionalism, guiding quality, and value for money were all outstanding.
African Home Safaris: 10/10
Guide Jared: 10/10 (and then some)

Magical Mara Experience
Our trip was amazing. The Mara is filled with epic views and fascinating animals. Our guide took extremely good care of us, pointing out hidden (and not so hidden) animals along the way. It was the trip of a lifetime!

Experience of a lifetime: explore the Masai Mara with the fantastic guide Jared
The 3 day trip to Masai Mara was the experience of a lifetime!
And the person most responsible for making it so magical is driver/guide Jared.
My recommendation is book a safari thru African Home adventure safaris or Enchoro, and request Jared to be your guide.
Jared is warm and charming, he has extensive knowledge of the park and the animals as well as Kenyan culture and history. He drives the 4X4 like he was born behind the wheel. He knows how to sniff out all the animals in the park. He positioned our vehicle perfectly numerous times - to have elephants and lions walk almost right beside the vehicle.
I felt like I was hanging out with a friend and indeed we now are.
He also helped sort logistics and made recommendations for the post-safari leg of the journey.
I booked the safari thru Enchoro, who hires guides from Africa Home Adventure Safari.
Enchoro was really great value for the price. It’s very clean and Jacob at reception and Kevin in the kitchen help make it a great place to stay. The tent is clean and I felt comfortable.
I will always remember this amazing safari in the Masai Mara, thanks to Jared, and also Jacob and Kevin at Enchoro.
Much love to you.

Your Guide, Jared, enjoyed your company as he helped you to experience the beauty of the Masai Mara.

2day maasai mara tour
Our Super Africa safari through Kenya was a wildlife enthusiast's dream come true. The sheer diversity of species we encountered in Amboseli National Park and Samburu Reserve was astonishing. The guides demonstrated an unmatched expertise in tracking and identifying animals, ensuring every game drive was filled with excitement. The lodges were strategically located, offering prime viewing spots. This safari was a photographer's paradise, capturing lions on the prowl, elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, and elusive leopards in the golden light of sunset. Super Africa truly delivered a wildlife spectacle!

Top Notch Tour
My recent trip to Kenya with Super Africa Wildlife and Adventure Safaris was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we set foot in the Maasai Mara, the expert guide Mr David ensured an immersive experience. The wildlife sightings were beyond my expectations, with close encounters with majestic lions, graceful giraffes, and the Great Migration, a truly awe-inspiring spectacle. The attention to detail and personalized service made this safari an unforgettable adventure.
