Aramatti was easy to work with, John provided an honest and helpful description of all our options for camps and activities, so we got exactly what we wanted in the budget that worked for us. The guide they provided was professional, knowledgeable, and spoke english very well. Where John helped plan a great safari, our guide (Bonnyface) executed the safari perfectly. The truck was clean, comfortable, and functioned without issue or concern (we passed many other safari companies on the side of the road who weren't as lucky). Overall we felt it was a phenomenal experience that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty & wonder of the Massai Mara without any hiccups or distractions.

Aramati Safaris worked extremely hard to ensure our group of 11 (9 high school students and 2 chaperones) had a memorable experience. The itinerary they planned for our group was fantastic, combining both the fun and the culturally impactful.
They were attentive to our needs and questions, and we greatly appreciated that we got to have authentic experiences, providing a complete picture of life in Kenya. The accommodations were excellent, the drivers incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and we always had access to clean drinking water.
The safari itself was fantastic with a stay at a resort that exceeded our expectations. And despite being out on safari for only a day and a half, we were able to see most of the animals you would hope to see, including: lions, elephants, rhinos, zebra, giraffes, hippos, alligators, hyenas, water buffalos, antelopes, gazelles, wildebeests, and much more.
We highly recommend working with Aramati Safaris for your trip, and will hopefully return to Kenya with new groups of students in the years to come!

This was our first ever safari, and it exceeded our expectations.
John was a professional throughout the planning process, helping us figure out the best way to spend our time.
We ended up doing a 4-day safari of Lake Nakuru National Park and Maasai Mara. We stayed at Sopa Lodge and Sekenani Camp, respectively.
On our first day, John showed up at the pick up place to introduce our driver and guide. He had the agreed upon program laying out what to expect each day.
Our guide and driver, Kim, was amazing. He was patient with us and just excited to help us sight the wildlife. He connected well with our kids, 9 and 14. He had that dedication to keep driving and searching out for the animals that he had likely seen thousands of times just to give us our first time experience.
We ended up seeing every animal we had hoped to see, including the elusive leopard! It was truly an amazing trip and I would recommend Aramati Safaris without reservation.

Aramati Safaris gave me the experience of a lifetime. Their kindness, hospitality, knowledge, and attention to detail made me feel safe and at home over the 2 weeks we stayed in Kenya. Our tour guide, John, was an amazing person to talk to for information, advice, or just a friendly conversation. I highly recommend planning a trip through Aramati Safaris to anyone who wishes to visit Kenya.

Aramati's Safari exceeded my expectations with their personalized trip plan, thoughtful suggestions, and impeccable attention to safety. From the moment I arrived, John, my knowledgeable host, made sure I felt well taken care of. His expertise and passion for assisting added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience. I highly recommend Aramati for an unforgettable experience.

Logistics can make or break an experience. I have had the pleasure to be able to work with Aramati Safaris on 2 trips to Kenya. The first experience was with a college class trip that traveled around Nairobi for approximately a week before heading to more rural areas, concluding the trip with a safari on the Maasai Mara. The trip in total lasted just over 3 weeks. Our accommodations were excellent, transportation was efficient and safe, we developed personal relationships with the drivers. Working with John and the staff at Aramati Safaris enhanced our learning experience and was foundational in making me want to travel back to Kenya again. I returned to Kenya in 2015 and used Aramati Safaris services again. This is a great company that will go above and beyond to accommodate a desired experience. I look forward to the day when i will be able to work with them again on a future trip. I highly recommend this company.

Our trip to Nairobi National Park with Aramarti Safaris was a once in a lifetime experience! They picked us up at our location on time and in clean, well maintained vehicles. They provided pre-paid expedited entrance to the park so we were able to get in early when the animals were most active. The drivers were extremely knowledgeable about the animals in the park and very accommodating about when we wanted to stop to take pictures. I asked the driver if he ever gets tired of the park, he said Never! Because he gets to see something new every day. They even arraigned time for us at the giraffe center and the elephant rehabilitation place. I highly recommended this trip company!

We were a group of 15 that included 5 kids under the age of 12 all based in Singapore. This been the first trip for most to Africa, there were a large number or questions and concerns that needed addressing.
The group led by John was patient, professional and attentive. They pulled together a great program and delivered well above expectation. We traveled through Nairobi, Amboseli and Masai Mara over a 11 day excursion. The people, the venues and the overall experience left each of us with a memories for a life time.
We were delighted with the overall experience and would have no hesitation recommending them to our family & friends

Aramati Safaris definitely gives you the most reliable and spontaneous safari tours. John was such a friendly face and our group quickly formed a strong connection with him and the drivers. The views were spectacular and the food was delicious. If I ever were to travel back to Kenya, I would for sure tour with Aramati again.

The organization of the trip was great. It met our expectations with the guide /driver who was really professional and friendly. All hotels were top qualities. Of course we were astonished by the wildlife and sceneries. I really recommend Aramati Safari.
