Born From a Love of the Wild
Jacmiya Safaris was founded in 2014 by Jacmiya Wambua, a Nairobi-born wildlife enthusiast who believed that every traveler deserved a deeply personal, expertly guided encounter with East Africa's natural world.
What began as one vehicle and a notebook full of dream itineraries has grown into one of Kenya's most trusted safari operators — with a portfolio spanning 70+ destinations across Kenya, Tanzania, and Rwanda.
We combine deep local knowledge with world-class hospitality. Every guide on our team is a trained naturalist and a genuine storyteller. We don't just show you the Big Five — we help you understand the ecosystems, the communities, and the conservation battles that shape the Africa you're visiting.
