Excellent safari operator - 5/5 stars
My boyfriend and I spent 4 days in the Masai Mara, and it was the best time. We saw countless of animals and received all the information about them from our guide, Sir Charles. It‘s totally worth the price and we are still speechless! We can especially recommend to do the private safari tour with Sir Charles. He would answer any question you have and he totally knows the best spots in Masai Mara. We even saw the wildabeests crossing the Mara river. Thank you Charles for everything!

Awesome safari experience
This trip was a once in a lifetime experience! Each park was different and offered an opportunity to be close to the wild animals in their natural habitats. Our tour guide was fun and knowledgable and the jeep was safe and comfortable. We highly recommend Kanje Grand Tours if you are searching for an amazing safari experience!

Thank you Jocky Tours & Sir Charles
We had a great experience from the start. The booking with Jocky Tours was excellent. They are very kind and fullfilled all our personal requests. Very easy, relaxed and always service-oriented :)
The safari itself was just amazing, in every second. We have seen so many wild animals you only see on TV. A special thanks to our AMAZING tour guide Sir Charles for this experience. We couldn'd have wished a better guide!
THANK you for giving us a perfect liftime experience!

Local, very helpful and flexible
We, a family with 3 young adults (19, 20, 23) and 2 adults (51 & 52), traveled for 7 days/6 nights with Kili Tanzanito Caminos. Gabriel, our driver/guide, helped us customise our camping safari optimally according to time, budget and wishes. He knew the spectacular and off-the-beaten-track spots and places (Empakai crater is amazing and the crater highlands track towards the crater even more; Longido local campsite is the real local stuff, away from tourists); he knew a lot about birds, animals and the country; and made us feel safe at all times. Masawe, our cook, managed to come up with delicious and generous meals (we never eat so much!) 3 times a day, under all circumstances (nothing beats freshly baked buns in the morning, a pick nick in the bush with a nice cool salad, or a nice comforting meal after a long drive).
Our train from Arusha to Dar Es Salaam was cancelled one hour before departure and Andrew, the manager, helped us to find a night bus on the spot. This was very much appreciated.
We warmly recommend this local operator.

What a holiday…!
We booked a 16-day safari trip to Rwanda and Uganda with Africa Adventure Vacations (AAV), and we were not disappointed. This trip was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and one thing is for sure: we will never forget it!
The program was professionally tailored by Robert, the AAV's trip advisor. He went above and beyond to ensure our safari would be comfortable and unforgettable. He even organised a surprise in one of the hotels on the day of our anniversary with a beautifully decorated room, a bottle of wine, and a romantic dinner. Thank you, Robert, you're a star!
Our driver guide, Caesar, was a walking "encyclopedia". His knowledge of African animals, birds, environment, people, and culture was extraordinary. We bombarded him daily with hundreds of questions, and he never got tired of answering them.
He was always on time, greeting us with a big smile every morning. There was no one in Uganda whom he didn't know. We felt privileged in every place we visited as the people there, such as hotel staff, rangers, and even road guardians, found out that we were with Caesar. We often felt like he even controlled the weather for us, as it was always good, contrary to the forecasts, allowing us to enjoy every attraction. However, this was never confirmed😉.
During our time with Caesar, we always felt safe on the road. He skillfully navigated through the traffic in Rwanda and Uganda, whether it was a rough 4x4 track on the outskirts of the country or the busy streets of Kampala (for those who were there, you know what I mean: "Hakuna matata!").
The fauna and flora also didn't disappoint. We saw the "Big 5" gorillas and many, many more animals, so I won't even bother listing them here. There was no rush, and we had much time to spend with animals until "saturation."
Thank you, Caesar and Africa Adventure Vacations. This was our best holiday ever.

Unforgettable experience
After choosing the 5-day safari with Topy Tours which offered the most competitive rate and who were able to answer each of my questions quickly, I can only recommend them.
While I had a much longer stopover than expected, the agency immediately organized myself so that I would still be picked up at the airport in the middle of the night.
After being greeted the next morning by Ben who, with his calming presence, confirmed the course of the safari and my pick-up at the end of it, I started the safari with Ezekiel who was very kind and allowed me to witness incredible moments between the animals.
The order of the program was slightly modified but it allowed me to have great encounters with tourists from different companies and to have the best guide, Simba, who knew the national parks perfectly and answered all questions. He was able to spot animals and anticipate their movements, communicated with the other guides so that we could witness unforgettable interactions (like a mother cheetah who brought the gazelle killed earlier closer so that her baby could feed on it) and added his touch of humor during these 4 days.
The guides do not hesitate to stop on their own or on request to observe the animals and take photos.
The parks offer completely different landscapes. Sometimes, you have to look hard to spot the animals and other times huge herds appear!
I was able to see 4.5 of the Big 5 (a rhinoceros from very far away impossible to distinguish it from a rock but it counts a bit), so many different species (from a lake full of hippos to two dik-diks under the shade of a bush) and each encounter remains a magical moment (even after 5 days).
Nothing compares to seeing elephants and their young pass 1 meter from you with their majestic presence and freedom in their natural environment.
The lodges have the necessary comfort, a full breakfast and a good dinner.
The nights in tents were an experience in themselves: eating under the stars, hearing the animals near the tents, watching the sunrise... The mattresses are quite thick and the inner fleece of the sleeping bags more than appreciable. The night at Simba Campsite in Ngorongoro was the most difficult as I expected with its 8°C but this camp had hot water for the brave.
All the meals prepared on site by our chef were excellent and water and other cold drinks were available all day long.
A big thank you to Topy Tours for this adventure at the best price, to the independent guides who allowed me to live unforgettable moments and to the people who shared this moment with me.
