Jockey tours was amazing and very professional way dealt with my booking since I planned my trip😁
Our tour guide and driver was Kikitu, such a wonderful person and driver, who knows how to make travellers feel comfortable and safe in his presence. Very charming, cool person got great hospitality attitude and warm welcome to everyone who joined his tour.
Can’t expect anything more than how Jockey tours was organised my trip. It is affordable and easy to book online from London. Mineh was a such a professional person to ask any questions about the tour, all organised on time and no glitches anywhere I felt.
I would strongly recommend Jockey tours for safari tours and of cozy Kikitu as a driver. I would give 10/10 for Kikitu 👌😁
Many thanks

Knowledgeable and courteous
Our tour guide (Job) was excellent. He was engaging throughout the trip. He was on point with schedules and and where to go to maximize seeing the animals. He was respectful of space for the animal and to other tour guides. We would recommend him to any party on Safari.

Very kind, each step of the trip has been well organized and worked perfectly
Our trip to Namibia gas been a wonderful experience. We had the possibility to see most of the best parts of the country, including beautiful and different landscapes and a lot of wild animals. Our guide Daniel did a great job, he's a very good person, funny and kind, we had a great time together. He's also really good in his work! Together with him, we spotted basically all the animals in Etosha and even the desert Elefant! Great job Daniel!
The vacation was well-organized by Lark Journeys, the lodges were in beautiful locations, the hospitality people cared about every details. Ann-Lee is a very kind person, available when you need her, during the trip she checked that everything was OK.
Namibia: wonderful!
Lark Journeys: very good!
Daniel + Ann-Lee: made the experience the best!

Very exclusive safari experience. Great booking & professional and fun tour guide. Loved every part!
Our advisor Joseph was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the safari booking process.
He made me feel very safe and well taken care of from start to finish.
The lodges and hotels he chose for us were absolutely luxurious and beautiful, with stunning views and wonderful cuisine. And the people in Kenya are simply amazing — incredibly warm, friendly, welcoming, and always smiling.
Our guide Eric is a highly experienced tracker with an exceptional knowledge of wildlife. He understands animal behaviour remarkably well and knew exactly how to maximize our safari experience while always showing great respect for the animals and their natural habitat.
He is also a very skilled driver and a genuinely friendly and open person.
He was happy to answer every question we had, and his knowledge of wildlife seems to have no limits!
Overall, an unforgettable experience, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to make our safari so special.
Highly recommended!

Outstanding!!!!!!
I would recommend Bamboo Ecotours without any hesitation.
My 4 day trip, which included chimpanzee, mountain gorilla and golden monkey trekking, was a once in a life time opportunity, that was everything I had hoped for and more. The trip was perfectly organised by Edison and my guide, John, was very friendly, knowledgable and accommodating. Thank you John and Edison, it was an awesome trip!!

Fantastic Experience!!
Me and my boyfried we had the 9-day-tour with Travel Creations Team and we loved it. We camped in Moremi, Khwai, Savuti and Chobe. The entire Team is very professional and helpful. We felt safe and cared of in every moment in the camp. We saw many birds, leopards, lions, hippos, hyenas, elephants, giraffes, african wild dogs, crocodiles and many of these animals babies. We saw a couple of lions mating. The only animal we did not see was cheetah and the rhino we saw at kruger only. The cooker Machine makes delicious food, with much salads and fresh baked bread that I loved. The guide and driver Jamie is very expert and knowledgeable about the bushes and in tracking the animals. He managed all efforts to put the car in good position so that we could have good sight and photos of the animals. We enjoyed the boat safari in chobe river and the mokoro tour was nice. Our preferred region was Savuti and Chobe. The whole structure of the camping is very good and the locations were really nice, next to water ( where we could see and hear elephants splashing in river) and in savuti and chobe was in the bush. We loved having the fireplace and red wine after thw dinner. Overall we recommend the Team and also recommend the safari in Botswana.

Very welcoming and hospitable
Had a great time on the tour. The staff were all incredible and genuinely cared about every guest. Itinerary was planned well and we were not left with a dull moment. My one comment is that the drive from Johannesburg to Kruger is quite far, and id recommend taking the flight to Hoedspruit if possible.

Absolutely Professional
We had an absolutely exceptional safari that exceeded our expectations in every way. From the planning stages to the very last day, everything was perfectly organized and professionally executed.
A huge thank you goes to the entire Meru Slopes team, who demonstrated seamless execution, high competence, and excellent organization throughout the entire trip. We didn't have to worry about a thing and were able to enjoy the safari from beginning to end.
A very special thank you goes to our guide, Godlisten, who made this trip truly special. His knowledge of wildlife is impressive and based on years of experience. He not only knows the animals and their behavior down to the smallest detail but also treats them with great respect. His goal was never just to find animals, but to bring his guests closer to nature and make every game drive a unique experience.
Thanks to his trained eye, we were able to observe an incredible number of animals, including numerous cubs and babies of various species. He often spotted animals that we would never have seen on our own. His explanations were captivating, informative, and full of passion.
We would especially like to highlight his wonderful way with children. He took the time to answer every question, explained everything clearly, and managed to make the safari just as fascinating for the little ones as it was for the adults. We felt incredibly well cared for and in excellent hands at all times.
What also sets Godlisten apart is his helpfulness and reliability. When another group had a breakdown with their jeep, he naturally stopped and helped immediately. With his technical skills, he even replaced parts on the vehicle so the group could continue their safari. This demonstrates the passion and dedication he has for his work.
Another big thank you goes to our cook, Buga. The food throughout the entire safari was outstanding. Every day we were treated to fresh, varied, and delicious meals. After long days in the wilderness, it was always a joy to see what Buga had conjured up for us.
In short, we can only say: This safari was an unforgettable experience. A professional company, an exceptional guide, and a fantastic cook made this trip perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend Meru Slopes, Godlisten, and Buga and would go on safari with them again anytime.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended!

Tour guide does his best
We were 3 and went for a 4d3n safari tour covering tangarire, serengeti and ngongoro.
What was great:
- our tour guide/driver, Aaron deserves a shoutout for going above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience in spotting animals and general comfort. He is extremely thoughtful, great sense of humor, and knowledgeable in masaai culture and safari.
- our lodges were comfortable and quite impressive in terms of set up. One night we had a impromtu night safari with giraffes and zebra eating right at our backyard!
- Justin, who arranged the tour, was detailed in following up and making sure to support as needed. We had our luggages delayed the first day and Justin helped contacting the airport and had them delivered to our lodge in time before the tour.
What needs improvement:
- we are 7 in the group and somehow we were splitted into different accommodations every night. The distance from each was very far (more than 20km) and it absolutely makes no sense as it wasted alot of time and created stress for everyone and cause late arrival in the evening. It is hard to understand such arrangements that is not cost effective.
- despite repeatedly mentioning there is vegan and vegetarian among us, half of our lunch contained meat and we had to remove it. I wish this is taken care of.
Conclusion: live like Hakuna Matata and adapt accordingly and enjoy the experience :) do be prepared that plan can change. Overall i would still recommend the tour.
