Jontas Travellers

We met up with Joseph to discuss future projects during our full day city tour in Nairobi after a 8 day safari in Tanzania.. We are impressed with the outcome, including checking out different accommodations in the Karen area. We look forward to continue to plan for our next visit to Kenya - this time with clients.

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 was the BEST!!! He was so kind, knowledgeable and SO much fun!! Some drives were long but he made everything so easy and relaxed. I highly recommend. We made memories for life!!

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!

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!

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!

My experience with Jonas Travellers was excellent. Their admission fee is very reasonable and affordable. The team is friendly, polite, and highly professional in their customer service. The visit was well-organized and of high quality, with ample time spent ensuring customers feel comfortable and engaged, without any rushing. Above all, their passion for what they do truly stands out. I highly recommend Jonas Travellers.

Our transportation experience with Jontas Travellers in Nairobi was absolutely outstanding. Joseph, the owner, was fantastic from start to finish and truly set the tone for an incredible trip. He greeted us at the airport at 4:00am and safely transported us to our hotel. After a few hours of rest, he returned right on time and took us to the Nairobi National Museum, sharing helpful insights along the way. The next day, Joseph provided a full-day tour of Nairobi National Park, where we were fortunate to see 4 of the Big 5. He then took us to Karen Blixen’s House and the Giraffe Centre, making the day both exciting and well-paced. On the third day, Joseph drove us to our resort in the Masai Mara and, a few days later, picked us up at 4:30am to return us to Nairobi in time for our early flight to our next destination. Throughout the entire journey, he was professional, punctual, and made every drive extremely comfortable. Joseph is very knowledgeable about Nairobi and its history, and he consistently shared interesting information that enhanced our experience. Jontas Travellers provided reliable, high-quality service, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional transportation and touring services in Kenya.

We recently spent a week in Kenya, from Sweetwaters to Masai Mara, nearly all of it with Joseph. Traveling from Asia to Africa is a big trip and can be very scary. Having a good driver and guide is critical to ease those fears. Joseph is one of those people! He is very knowledgeable, drives expertly and most important, is very trustworthy! We highly recommend him to anyone fortunate to visit Kenya.

Don't think twice. We had a great experience with Joseph and Jontas Travels. Our Kenya trip was the best and all credit goes to Joseph. He will guide you through everything. From hotel bookings to details of the trips. Everything was smooth and memorable. Thanks Joseph.

Joseph is an excellent choice for your journeys in Kenya. We had an excellent experience traveling from the Maasai Mara to Nairobi. He was a skilled and safe driver, handling the long journey with care and professionalism. He made sure we were comfortable, provided us with water and rest stops. He drove with real attention to safety. His warm personality and conscientious approach turned a long drive into a truly enjoyable part of our trip. We are very grateful for his service and would highly recommend him to anyone.

GREAT! Jontas Travellers provided exceptional service. After a favorable experience with Joseph on one tour, I booked another tour with him a couple of days later. He went out of his way to ensure it was a positive experience.

GREAT! Joseph went above and beyond to be accommodating. He was very gracious and professional. This is a great, small tour company that is easy to deal with and willing to be flexible.

Joseph drove us from Nairobi to our camp at Masai Mara and back. He was punctual, friendly and reasonably priced. His driving was very safe, but still efficient. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. Joseph had good recommendations for stops (shopping, wash room) along the route. I would highly recommend Joseph for anyone requiring driving in Kenya.

We had an incredible 6-day trip across Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Naivasha, all thanks to our amazing driver, Joseph. From the moment we met him, Joseph was courteous, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took care of us end to end—always ensuring our comfort, safety, and timely travel. His driving was smooth and safe, and the Land Cruiser was clean, spacious, and perfect for the terrain. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend Joseph to anyone visiting Kenya!

I want to express my gratitude for our trip. We were met at the airport and had an amazing safari in Amboseli Park. The guide is wonderful, he told me a lot of interesting things. Highly recommend!

We had Joseph as our driver for two days in Kenya, and he did a great job. He was punctual, drove safely, and kept us on schedule. Joseph was polite and helpful, ensuring we got to where we needed to go without any issues. We appreciated his professionalism and would recommend him to anyone looking for reliable transport in the area.

Joseph is the wonderful, careful driver. He accompanied us on trips to Amboseli Park and Naivasha Lake. Everything was done at the highest level, on time and in full accordance with our expectations. I highly recommend Joseph to everyone who’re going to discover Kenya!

THANKS IS JUST NOT ENOUGH!!! Mr. Joseph Sakuda... you are amazing. A BIG (More than Big 5) THANK YOU TO YOU. Mr. Joseph is the man who knows everything in detail. He is knowledgeable, descent and fantastic planner. His eyes 👀 are just like an eagle. He spots the animals within the fraction of second. He is 100% recommended guy to go with. Mr. Joseph definitely we are coming back.

Thank you Jontas Travellers for making our trip to Kenya a wonderful one. The visits to the museum, snake park, Giraffe park and Masai village were incredible. The game drives were organized so well and the team helped us spot so many wild animals. Joseph and Charles, thank you for all the kindness.

I took care of him for three days. This fulfilled all of my requests. His driving skills were excellent and he had a wealth of knowledge about animals. They informed us of all the places we would be staying and were punctual on time. He was a really great guide and driver with sincere service. Thank you so much Joseph!

I had the opportunity to take a solo trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and then return to the capital, 4 days on the road, and I had the great luck to have Joseph as my driver. He was very professional and polite, always on time, a great driver, and knew exactly when and where to go to have the best experience! We saw many animals together, and I will forever remember our breakfast up close with the rare white rhinos by the lake! And, truly, his eyes are better than binoculars, I was amazed by his animal spotting capabilities! We also had many interesting cultural discussions along the road, and all in all, it was a fantastic and enriching trip. I hope to have the opportunity to visit again and make arrangements with him for other itineraries, it was great getting to know Joseph a bit, very highly recommended!

He is very professional in his job and well informed about the job and places. Nice humble person. he keeps the vehicle clean and maintains the time. we went to Masai mara, Nairobi National park and visited many places in Kenya.

Joseph picked us up on schedule from Nairobi and took us to masai masai mara, stayed around us for 3 days.. We also went to lake Nakuru as he showed us around a lot. we go lucky to see the big 5 in just 1 days.. Highly recommend

I was very lucky to have 3-days tour with Joseph who was an excellent driver, competent guide and a very nice person. The car was clean and comfortable and Joseph was a very good company. One of the best thing of Joseph is that his eyes are better than any binoculars! He could see the animals at a great distance, so we could catch them easily. Besides, Joseph has a good intuition where to find animals, so I was very lucky to see the lioness with two 2months cubs with no people around. I really recommend Joseph for any trips. He is reliable, punctual and responsible person.

We hired Joseph for a round trip to Masai Mara back to Nairobi. He is fast to respond on whatsapp and easy to plan my trip with. Always on time. Flexible in case you want a detour( Always clarify the extra fee). Smoth and secure driver. Has excellent contact for anything you wish to experiment, don't hesitate to ask for recommendations if you not sure. Will hire him again next year 😊

My friends and i hired Jontas to take us from Nairobi through Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and back to Nairobi. He's a safe driver who is willing to answer questions and teach you about the country. We partnered with his friend who was our guide (with his own safari truck) through Masai Mara. He was excellent and got us to see all the animals in just a couple days of safari. We also got to stop in a Masai village and learn about this culture. With anything in Africa, make sure all your costs are known and upfront. Everything is negotiable for the most part. We had a little confusion but worked it out so that everyone was satisfied. I will recommend Jontas to my friends and would hire again if/when I go back.

Very Knowledgeable guide of the area! He’s on time reliable and kept in touch to let me know and made my trip hassle free. Even when my hotel was booked for a trip he helped me arrange another guide for my safari. I’ll definitely recommend him for anyone who’s travelling to Kenya.

I travelled with Joseph from Nairobi to Masai Mara back-and-forth, really smooth experience, always on time, he knows a lot about the country and the tourism. Would definitely recommend reaching out to him!

Joseph is a very reliable and safe driver and guide, always courteous and kind, always eager to please his guest. He knows Nairobi very well, so you can enjoy the city and its sights at your leisure.

Excellent and reliable service ! Joseph is an excellent driver, his car is very comfortable and can take any tracks

Joseph was our driver that was sent to pick us up on a recent trip to the Maasai Mara. He messaged ahead of picking us up from the airport, letting us know where to meet. He drove us to to get some supplies in Carrefour ahead of the long to drive to the Mara. Throughout both the drop-off and return to the airport, Joseph was knowledgeable, funny and safe. We discussed history, politics, family and many other things on our two trips with him and he also gave us great tips and made sure we got good deals in local shops. Joseph, a great driver and lovely man!

Joseph is a calm and experienced driver. He is respectful of your time and space. He takes the time to check in with you on your requirements to ensure the best service delivered.

We travelled to Kenya as part of our honeymoon in July 2022. I had previously searched for transport options in Nairobi on tripadvisor and came across Joseph. I contacted him via email and he was quick to respond, with a professional manner. After reading the previous reviews, I can’t agree enough with how wonderful our experience with Joseph was! Joseph reached out to us the day before our flight to confirm timings. He even sent a picture of the board with our names on so we knew exactly what to look for! Joseph took us to our lodge in the Masaai Mara, and the return to the airport five days later. It was a long drive (5 hours one way) but Joseph ensured we were comfortable and at ease. We slept for the majority of the journey on the way there - we felt comfortable to sleep and relax in the car. It was so spacious and extremely clean. Joseph stopped a few times to ensure we could use the amenities and purchase water and snacks. We even stopped at the famous Rift Valley to stretch our legs and browse in some local shops. Joseph was full of knowledge and was able to answer all of our questions. He was an honest, reliable and genuine man. We enjoyed learning about his life and his family. I would highly recommend Joseph to any travellers looking for transfers or trips in Kenya! Such a kind, genuine man. We hope to see Joseph again on future returns to Kenya ❤️

It is very rare that you meet such a kind and knowledgeable human being as Joseph Sakuda. Joseph was our driver for our trip from Nairobi Airport to our Camp in the Masai Mara and then the return leg. Joseph reached out to us before our flight to ensure we knew the process and could communicate with him. When we arrived at the airport he had a sign with my name on (and the others in the group). Joseph was the perfect example of wonderful Kenya hospitality. I was travelling with two friends and he made us all feel so safe and welcome. Joseph's 4x4 was comfortable and had ample room in his boot to fit all of our equipment and suitcases. Joseph stopped off at a supermarket to allow us to buy some snacks for the journey and informed us of the best place to buy a SIM card if needed. On the way to the Masai Mara we stopped at the Great Rift Valley (which is a reason to drive to the Mara on its own). Throughout the journey Joseph provided us with information on everything from history, wildlife, politics, tourism and so much more. He was also able to answer all of our questions and I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and he pointed out hidden gems such as the smallest church in Africa! Joseph was genuinely so caring and was excited for us to have a brilliant stay in the Mara. My group stopped at a shop to purchase some drinks. The shop did not accept dollars so Joseph kindly paid in Kenyan shilling! Joesph also informed us of some souvenir shops we could visit on our return journey which would be far more reasonable (and he was right!). He also paid extra to take us on the toll road on our return to ensure we arrived in plenty of time for our flight. It is rare that you meet someone who is as kind, caring and sincere as Joseph. I am so happy he was our driver and that I had the opportunity to get him. I am sure to book him for my return to the Mara, being greeted by his smile and welcoming manner at the airport ensures the perfect start to anyones holiday. From the beginning to the end of our journey Joseph was incredible and added so much culture and history to our journey, we cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend Joseph Sakuda for your transport needs in Nairobi.

I had a great experience going from Masai to Amboseli with Sakuda! I would definitely recommend and will be going again with him!

He is a great driver, picked us up on time and negotiated the Nairobi streets safely. He kept in touch with us to make sure our trip was going well and to let us know he was available if we need anything.

Excellent travel services anywhere in Kenya. I did a trip with them to Naivasha and Masai Mara in June 2021. Sakuda is an excellent and safe driver. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to travel around Kenya specially the lovely wildlife hotspots. I am surely gonna use them again.

Joseph is an excelente Driver, very puntual, respectfull, he has the contact to the other guies at te National Park to find the anímals, it is a profesional guíe , we espend 10 days in hes Company in 4 diferent parks and every excursión was wonderfull, It Serna that treinta sense of smell and sight are trained to find animals, thanks a lot my friend joseph

Sakuda has become my go to driver in Kenya! Super professional, clean reliable car and very friendly driver. What more could you want? Got a ride from Nairobi to Narok and he came back for us a few days later. Definitely the most affordable but also comfortable way to get to the Mara. Thank you for the great service and I will be calling you again soon for sure. Highly recommend this driver

My wife and I were very lucky to have the help of Joseph Sakuda, from Jontas Travalers, on our recent trip to Kenya. Joseph offered us all kinds of advice and help before the trip to choose destinations and, during the trip, he was a perfect guide on our visits to Nairobi, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. The trips were in perfectly equipped and extremely clean cars, and Joseph's help was excellent.
