  We just ended from an incredible safari starting from Mombasa with Joppa Kenia Safaris, and it exceeded all our expectations. Our guide David was outstanding, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely passionate. Thanks to him, we learned so much about the rich flora and fauna across Tsavo East, Tsavo West, and Amboseli. He spotted animals we would have completely missed and made every game drive educational and exciting. The accommodations were all excellent: Ashnil Aruba in Tsavo East, Kilaguni Serena Lodge in Tsavo West, and Oltukai Lodge in Amboseli. Each place offered great comfort and beautiful views after long days in the bush. This was truly an unforgettable safari experience. If you're considering a trip to Kenya, I highly recommend Joppa Kenia Safaris and David, you won’t be disappointed!

  

  

  

• My Epic 4-Day Tsavo Safari from Diani with the Best Guide George

  Just got back from a 4-day safari with Joppa Kenia Safaris, driving from Diani Beach out to Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Honestly, it was one of the best trips I've done in Kenya. The drive from the coast took us straight into proper bush country. Tsavo East has those wide open plains with the red dust everywhere, while Tsavo West feels wilder with the hills and thicker vegetation. We saw big groups of elephants almost every drive, some relaxed lions, giraffes, zebras, and different antelopes. Caught a couple of leopards too, which was a nice bonus. The birds around the water points were really active. But what stood out most was our guide George. The guy is brilliant – easily the best guide I've had. He spots things from far away that you'd never notice yourself, knows all the animal habits, and tells great stories in the evenings. He kept things fun but also made sure we were safe and comfortable the whole time. Felt like we were out there with a friend who really knows his stuff. The vehicle was reliable, the tents and lodges were decent, food was good, and everything ran smoothly without any stress. If you're thinking of doing a safari from Diani side, go with Joppa Kenia Safaris and ask for George if you can. Real solid team. Would definitely do it again. 100%

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• 4 Days in Tsavo: My Safari Adventure from Mombasa

  My 4-day safari that started from Mombasa and I have to say it was one of the best decisions I made during my Kenya trip. We were picked up early morning from our hotel in Mombasa and driven to Tsavo East. The drive was interesting, you see the change from coastal scenery to proper bush country. The highlight was definitely the game drives. On the second day we got really lucky and saw a big pride of lions just chilling under a tree, and later a leopard walking across the road right in front of our vehicle. Elephants were everywhere, especially near the waterholes. I also loved seeing the giraffes, zebras, and different antelopes. Not everything was perfect though, the roads inside the park are rough, so be ready for some bouncing around! Our lodge was simple but comfortable with nice views over the savannah. The food was decent (buffet style), and the staff were very friendly. Our guide, James, was excellent – patient, knowledgeable, and always trying to find the best sightings for us. He even explained the smaller things like birds and trees that most people ignore. One thing I wasn’t expecting was how hot it gets in the middle of the day. We did early morning and late afternoon drives which worked well. Bring good binoculars, sunscreen, and a hat. Overall, this safari gave me a proper taste of wild Kenya. It’s not as luxurious as the Masai Mara ones, but for the price and the short time, it delivered great wildlife and a real adventure feel. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re based in Mombasa and want something authentic without flying across the country. Would do it again in a heartbeat. 9/10.

  Just back from an unforgettable 4-day safari out of Mombasa with Joppa Kenya Safaris. Everything was top-notch from start to finish. Rachel organized the whole trip perfectly — smooth transfers, great accommodations, and no stress at all. Our guide David was brilliant: knowledgeable, patient, and really went the extra mile to make sure we saw the best wildlife and had a good time. The experience was just amazing. If you're thinking of doing a safari from the coast, I can't recommend Joppa Kenya Safaris enough.

• Awesome 4-day Amboseli Safari from Mombasa with Joppa Kenia Safaris

  I did a 4-day safari from Mombasa booked through Joppa Kenia Safaris and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I made. The whole trip ran smoothly from pickup to drop-off. Our guide was David, and I have to say the guy is awesome. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and had sharp eyes for spotting animals. Whether it was a lion hidden in the bushes, elephants playing around the swamps, or herds of zebra and wildebeest stretching across the plains, David always knew where to find them. He explained things nicely without overdoing it and made sure everyone in the vehicle got good views and photos. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five comfortably during our stay. His driving was also careful and comfortable even on the rough roads. We stayed at Amboseli Sopa Lodge, which was a really good choice. The location is excellent with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro on clear days. The rooms were spacious and clean, the beds comfortable, and the food was tasty with a nice variety at the buffet. After long game drives, it felt great to relax by the pool or just enjoy the lodge atmosphere while listening to the sounds from the park. The drive from Mombasa took time but the scenery changed nicely along the way, and David kept us entertained with stories about the area. Four days gave us enough time to enjoy morning and afternoon drives without feeling too rushed. Overall, I really enjoyed this safari. Joppa Kenia Safaris did a good job organizing everything, and having David as our guide made a huge difference. If you're thinking of doing Amboseli from the coast, I would definitely recommend them.

  

  

  

  

  

• Unforgettable Safari Adventure with David from Joppa Kenia Safaris – Mombasa to Tsavo East & Amboseli

  My wife and I recently did a 4-day private safari with Joppa Kenia Safaris, starting with pickup from our hotel in Mombasa. We headed through Tsavo East, then on to Amboseli, with a good mix of time in Tsavo East as well. It was our first proper safari together, and we wanted something relaxed but immersive—David was our driver/guide the whole way, and he made the trip feel personal and special. From the moment David arrived (right on time, with a big smile and a spotless 4x4), we felt at ease. The long drives between parks can be tiring, but he kept things interesting—pointing out birds and smaller wildlife along the way, sharing funny stories about the area, and always checking if we needed water, snacks, or just a quick stop. He had this calm, patient way of spotting animals that we would have completely missed: a lioness half-hidden in the bushes in Tsavo East, or a herd of elephants kicking up that famous red dust right beside the road. In Tsavo East, the vast open landscapes and huge elephant herds were breathtaking. David knew exactly where to go for the best sightings without rushing us. Then came Amboseli—waking up to the snow-capped Kilimanjaro in the background while watching zebras and wildebeest graze felt almost unreal. We even had a magical moment with a big tusker (elephant) crossing right in front of us at sunset. David explained the behavior and ecology without ever sounding like a lecture; it made everything more meaningful for both of us. The lodges he took us to were comfortable and well-chosen, with great food and views. Everything ran smoothly—no delays, no surprises, just good organization from the Joppa team. David’s knowledge, sense of humor, and genuine enthusiasm turned what could have been “just another safari” into one of the highlights of our Kenya trip. We felt safe, cared for, and completely immersed in the wild. If you’re coming from the Mombasa coast and want a hassle-free, memorable experience with a fantastic driver who truly loves what he does, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Joppa Kenia Safaris and ask for David. We came back relaxed, with hundreds of photos and even better memories. Highly recommended! A very happy couple from Nairobi

• Our soul-recharging 4 days in Tsavo East and West with Joppa Kenia Safaris and the brilliant Geo

  We had just four days to squeeze in a proper safari from the coast, and choosing Joppa Kenia Safaris turned out to be one of the smartest decisions we made on our whole Kenya trip. From the moment they picked us up at our hotel until they dropped us back, everything ran smoothly without any stress. Our driver and guide, Geo, was an absolute gem. He had this calm, confident way about him that made us feel instantly at ease. What really stood out was how tuned in he was to the bush, he’d spot things we would have completely missed, like a pair of lions resting under a shady acacia or a herd of elephants moving silently through the red dust. He explained animal behaviour, tracks, and even little plants without ever sounding like he was lecturing. We laughed a lot in the vehicle because he had a great sense of humour and genuinely seemed to enjoy showing us his country. Tsavo East felt vast and wild, with those classic open plains and huge herds of red-dusted elephants that are so typical of the area. We spent long, peaceful hours just driving and watching no rushing from sighting to sighting like in busier parks. The highlight for us was an early morning drive where the light was perfect and the animals seemed more active. Switching to Tsavo West brought a completely different vibe: more dramatic hills, thicker vegetation, and that beautiful Mzima Springs area with its crystal-clear water and hippos. The landscapes here felt almost prehistoric in places, especially around the lava flows. We were lucky enough to catch some relaxed leopard activity and plenty of giraffes browsing high in the trees. The contrast between the two parks made the four days feel much richer than we expected. The accommodation was comfortable and well-chosen — nice tents/lodges with that authentic bush feel, good food, and hot showers after dusty drives (which we really appreciated!). Nothing was over-the-top luxurious, but everything was clean, safe, and perfectly suited to a real safari experience. If you’re thinking of a shorter safari that still delivers big on wildlife, scenery, and that “away from it all” feeling, I’d highly recommend Joppa Kenia Safaris and specifically asking for Geo if he’s available. He made the trip personal and memorable in a way that went way beyond just driving us around. We came back relaxed, inspired, and already missing the African bush. Asante sana, Joppa team and Geo, we’ll definitely be back for more!

• Just back from an incredible 4-day safari from Mombasa with Joppa Kenia Safaris – worth every minute

  We had only a few days left after our beach time in Mombasa and decided to squeeze in a proper safari instead of just relaxing by the pool. Best choice we made the whole trip. We booked a 4-day package with Joppa Kenia Safaris and they handled everything from pickup at our hotel right through to dropping us back. From the moment our guide George collected us early in the morning, you could tell they run things properly. The drive out of the coast into the red dirt roads felt like we were leaving one world and entering another. We spent the days between Tsavo and Amboseli (I think that’s the usual route they do), and honestly, the contrast hit hard, one minute you’re seeing massive elephant herds kicking up dust, the next you’re staring at snow-capped Kilimanjaro in the distance while zebras graze in front. George guide had this calm way of spotting things way before we did. He’d suddenly stop the vehicle, point into the bushes, and there would be a lioness with her cubs or a family of giraffes moving so gracefully it felt unreal. We got lucky with a couple of really close cheetah sightings too, which made the whole group go quiet with excitement. Even the smaller stuff, the warthogs running with their tails up, the colourful birds everywhere, the hippos grunting in the water — stuck with us. The lodges they chose were comfortable without being over-the-top. We loved sitting on the balcony in the evenings watching animals come to the waterhole as the sun went down. Food was decent, beds were good after long dusty days, and the vehicles were reliable with open roofs for proper game viewing. What I appreciated most was that nothing felt rushed. Joppa let us enjoy the bush at our own pace, and our guide was always happy to answer questions or just let us sit in silence soaking it all in. Communication before the trip was clear, no surprise costs, and they were flexible when we wanted to stay a bit longer at one spot. If you’re based on the coast and thinking of adding some real wildlife time without flying across the whole country, this 4-day safari from Mombasa is the way to go. Joppa Kenia Safaris delivered exactly what we hoped for, a proper, raw taste of Kenya’s wild side. We came back tired, dusty, and smiling ear to ear. Highly recommend.

  

  

  

  

• Family Safari in Tsavo East & Amboseli – George Made It Special with Joopa Kenia Safaris

  We did a wonderful safari in Tsavo East and Amboseli with our young son, and Joopa Kenia Safaris organised everything perfectly for us. George was our guide the whole way, and he really made the trip memorable. We started with two nights at Voi Wildlife Lodge in Tsavo East. The location is fantastic right next to a busy waterhole where elephants, buffaloes and other animals come to drink. Our son loved sitting on the balcony watching them. The rooms were comfortable and the food was good. From there we moved to Salt Lick Lodge, which felt like a real adventure with its raised rooms overlooking the plains. We saw plenty of wildlife right from the lodge itself. The highlight was our time in Amboseli at Serena Safari Lodge. The views of Mount Kilimanjaro were stunning every morning, and the game drives were excellent. George knew exactly where to go and had a great eye for spotting animals. He was patient with our little one, explained things in a simple way, and kept us safe and comfortable throughout. The whole safari felt relaxed and well planned. We saw the Big Five, beautiful landscapes, and lots of birds. Joopa Kenia Safaris kept the pace family-friendly without rushing us. Everything from transfers to meals was taken care of smoothly. If you’re travelling with kids and want a reliable safari company in Kenya, I’d definitely recommend Joopa Kenia Safaris and ask for George as your guide. It was a fantastic family experience we’ll never forget. 10/10– Highly recommended!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• An Unforgettable experience of safari with George of joppa team

  We did a 4-day safari from our hotel in Mombasa with Joppa Kenia Safaris and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our whole Kenya trip. From the moment we were picked up early in the morning until we were dropped back at the coast four days later, everything ran smoothly. Our guide George was the real star of the show. This guy has eyes like a hawk and endless patience. He spotted animals we would have completely missed — from a lone lion resting under a bush to a family of cheetahs hidden in the tall grass. He explained everything clearly without ever sounding like he was reading from a script, and he always made sure we had the best angles for photos. What we loved most was how relaxed he kept the pace; he never rushed us when we wanted to sit and watch a herd of elephants for longer. Tsavo East felt wild and endless those famous red elephants kicking up dust everywhere, big herds of zebra and giraffe, and a couple of exciting lion sightings. The landscape is so different from anything we’d seen before. Moving to Tsavo West was like entering another world: greener hills, the beautiful Mzima Springs with hippos and crocodiles, and more dramatic rocky scenery. We even got lucky with some black rhino views, which felt very special. The lodges were comfortable, the food was tasty and plentiful, and the vehicle was clean and reliable with a good pop-up roof for game drives. Communication with the Joppa team before the trip was quick and helpful too. If you’re staying on the coast and thinking of adding a proper safari without flying all the way to Maasai Mara, this is a fantastic option. Not too long, not too short, and with George behind the wheel it felt like we were in very good hands the whole time. We came back with hundreds of photos and even better memories. Would definitely book with Joppa Kenia Safaris and ask for George again without hesitation.
