Knowlegable driver and perfect guide
Our 6 days safari was really a pleasure. Joseph was able to address all our questions, and explained a lot during our safari. He drives very safely and takes such good care about us every day. We are amazed about his skills to find animals. We have seen so many different types during our safari. He spotted animals in the bushes that we couldn't see. We loved our safari with him and strongly recommend him for any of your adventures .

JOSEPH IS THE BEST
Driving from Nairobi through Tsavo to the coast with Joseph was easily the highlight of our trip. He was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, informed and able to enjoy every moment of the journey. From sharing insights about the wildlife and landscapes to driving us to all the best viewpoints and sundowner spots. What a legend. We also saw every animal!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Joseph to anyone visiting Kenya and looking for the most memorable travel experience. Thank you again Joseph for making our trip so special!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve you and your boyfriend. It was truly a pleasure arranging your safari experience. Thank you for choosing Jontas Travellers and for entrusting me with your recent trip. I also sincerely appreciate your wonderful review. I look forward to welcoming you again for more memorable safari expeditions in the future. Asante sana.

Highly recommended!
My wife and I had a very good experience with Jontas Travellers. Joseph arranged accommodation for us in Maasai Mara before our arrival in Kenya (excellent communication via WhatsApp), picked us up at the Nairobi airport, and drove us to the Mara. We spent two days on game drives with him, and he is exceptionally good at spotting animals - he really has sharp eyes :) He then drove us back to Nairobi, and a few days later we booked him again for two days of driving in the Nairobi area. You can book Joseph both for longer trips to the big National Parks and for shorter trips in Nairobi and the surrounding suburbs. Joseph is always polite, punctual, easy to deal with and flexible. We highly recommend Joseph Sakuda / Jontas Travellers!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Jontas Travellers and for entrusting me with the arrangements for your recent trip to Kenya. I truly look forward to welcoming you and your wife again in the future. Thank you as well for taking the time to leave a review—it will be very helpful to other guests planning to visit Kenya 🇰🇪.

Joseph provided a fantastic service. He’s not just a reliable driver. He can also explain th many nuances a foreigner won’t immediately understand in Kenya. Impeccable!

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Jontas Travellers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Jontas Travellers cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Jontas Travellers take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.
Is Jontas Travellers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Jontas Travellers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Jontas Travellers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Jontas Travellers?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Jontas Travellers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Nairobi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Nairobi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
