Amazing experience - I had an incredible 3-day, 2-night safari experience in the Masai Mara with Joyina Safari, and I would highly recommend them. From the very beginning, they showed exceptional kindness and professionalism — especially when I encountered visa issues at the airport. They were patient, understanding, and truly supportive during a stressful situation. The safari itself was amazing. Our driver-guide was highly skilled and knowledgeable, and he went above and beyond to help us explore the best of the Masai Mara. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see 4 out of the Big Five animals, which was unforgettable. One important point to note: the park entrance fees must be paid directly to the agency either in US dollars or in Kenyan shillings — and unfortunately, this wasn’t clearly communicated in advance. We were not allowed to pay by card or M-Pesa, even though we know for a fact that this would have been possible at the gate. It caused some unnecessary stress, so I would advise future travelers to clarify the payment method well ahead of time. If I had one additional suggestion, it would be to improve the overall organization and communication between the driver and the group. There were a few misunderstandings that led to some tension among participants, but it didn’t take away from the beauty of the experience. Overall, Joyina Safari delivered a memorable and rewarding adventure — I’m really grateful for everything they did.

Unforgettable safari tour at Masai Mara with Joyina Safaris Africa (Peter & Ron)! - The organizer (Joyina Safaris Africa) organizes everything in a professional manner. Everything went well: the prompt communications, the tour guides/drivers namely "Peter" and "Ron" are awesome: they both are very helpful, friendly and professional not only on driving but also as an excellent guide who know about Masai Mara very well and spot the wild animals in very efficient way. The accommodation was good (only a little issue on water supply/hot water) and so do the meals. I enjoyed a lot this experience and am highly recommended this tour organizer.

Cool budget safari experience - Booking safaris can be very stressful as there are so many options and prices. I found Joy’s advertisement on Facebook and contacted her about the tour package prior to visiting Kenya. She was swift at responding and open about all your queries. She gave me a detailed itinerary of everything. I chose the budget option and frankly it wasn’t too bad at all, in fact it made the stay more interesting. The accommodation was basic, but it was clean, with lovely staff. Food was also basic home cooked meals and everyone came to the dining room during meal times to catch up. It was really lovely. I also appreciate that Joy was checking up on my through the tour. The safaris were amazing no doubt and everything ran smoothly and on time. The jeep was comfortable despite the long bumpy journey, it was quite an adventure. This is one of the most affordable tour packages you can get for the Masai Mara as I’ve asked a few places when I got to Nairobi and they were giving me higher quotes for the same budget option. I would definitely recommend booking with Joyina Safaris.

The best experience I had until now - This was my first time in Kenya and I wanted to explore Masai Mara and then I was searching on the web and Facebook for a good tour operator and then I came across joying safaris, as they have mentioned budget safari and then they shared the package which had prices lower when compared to others. However they gave me an option for a luxury stay at a different price and to which I accepted. I was received by driver Dan on the day of trip. We reached Masai Mara and then checked in to my hotel and after lunch we quickly left for the safari game drive and back late evening for dinner after viewing the wild. The hotel was perfect for a decent luxury trip and it was up to my expectations. The 2nd day was full day game drive and lunch was packed from hotel and we did find a beautiful picnic spot in the wild for lunch. Then continued seeing the remaining of the jungle. We did see all the big 5 ugly 5 and the other 5. The trip was overall 10/10. Driver was the guide too who was explaining everything and saw that we(other solo travellers) were comfortable and got what we came for. We were back to Nairobi on the 3rd day safe and happy with so many memories. It was perfect!

most organized company - First i Have to give this lady Joy her flowers, she is into details and always ready to help. This being our first safari and first time in Africa , we had a lot of questions and fear of being scammed. Joy ,our consultant, she was ready to reply to all our questions in time ( some time because of time difference she worked overtime because of us. Our accommodation was good , all the staffs were friendly and always made sure we are comfortable. The Driver guide- OMG i have a lot to say about our guide but for lack of words to describe the good work i will say he was the best. I recommend this company 101 % times .

Nice - great experience, we have beautiful photos. They could have provided drinks for the guests for the whole day in the car. Be careful, the entrance fee to the park is only in dollars. In another currency it will be extremely expensive - they have their own deadly exchange rate 🙄

Adrenaline safari ride - We had great experience. Our guide Rodger was very skilful, kind, and excellent driver. We are grateful for wonderful full day ride! He made his best to show us as many animals as possible! We only missed rhino :( Our camp was nice, close to the entrance. Unfortunately, a mouse got into our tent during the night. There was no night guard in the camp or anyone to help us in this situation.
