Excellent Tanzania Experience
We did a Safari with Suricata Tours and we had an excellent experience. It was our first trip to Africa as a family and we were a little bit anxious but everything went very well. We were pick up at the airport even though we arrived in an earlier flight than planned. The Safari was wonderful and our Guide Max was very knowledgeable of the parks visited and has made us see the big five and much more.

Jocky was super organized since the beginning. Robert is an excellent guide.
Despite the increasing prices of the park fees (not control by Jocky Tours) the price is super fair. We had an incredible adventure and Robert was an amazing guide finding the animals, clarifying our questions and sharing is knowledge. Jocky tours is a very efficient company that had everything organized since the beginning.

Best Mobile Bush Camping experience and successful Game Drives everyday!
This was my girlfriend's and my third stop on our five week African tour. We enjoyed our previous tours and game drives, yet this is my most memorable because it was very different to our previous experiences in Tanzania and Namibia. My girlfriend did the planning with Frank, and once we arrived in Botswana and saw Frank, he had a huge, warm smile, I felt so welcomed! We were spoiled by Frank and his team; our every possible need was thought of and delivered before we even asked. Every member of the team catered to us with courtesy and respect. We always felt safe and comfortable; this team went above and beyond and exceeded our expectations.
The efficiency of this team although each member had a specific role, they collectively did camp set up and break down. In addition to Frank and July, the other two other team members treated us two 'mature' ladies as princesses.
Each morning we had water delivered to our tent for our morning care, after which we walked to the dining tent for breakfast. My fresh brewed coffee warming by the fire. After breakfast we would leave for our game drive. During our game drives, Frank sought out the best viewing and lighting for optimum photo opportunity. We appreciated Frank being a photographer; we got some cool pictures.
Each day we had morning and afternoon tea. I have to admit, I ate even though I wasn't hungry. July, our chef made delicious food, which was irresistible, especially his carrot cake and chocolate cake, baked outdoors! I have a food allergy which Frank was mindful of and ensured all meals were safe for my consumption.
Once we returned to camp for lunch, cool refreshing drinks were brought to us. Before setting out for the afternoon game drive, we were served afternoon tea. Imagine, enjoying afternoon tea at the river bank while observing elephant after elephant and families of elephants drinking and eating. It doesn't get better than that!
During the game drives, Frank shared his extensive knowledge of not only animals and birds, but also the vegetation. A close encounter with an elephant made me panic, Frank remained calm and instructed us to relax and breathe, the elephant soon turned and walked away. Observing giraffes, Frank shared details about their eating habits among other things, and got close enough that we were dwarfed by the immense size of these animals. To enhance our daily experience, Frank studied the ground for animal tracks and we were fortunate to follow a lioness and her cubs for quite some time, and parked quite close to a couple of male lions on separate game drives. I have a greater appreciation for all the animals knowing more about them and seeing them in their natural habitat. Frank arranged a mokoro trip for us. I highly recommend doing this, you view the animals from the waterway, on the waterway, no other experience can compare.
Frank would choose interesting spots for sundowners; one spot in particular allowed for spectacular sunset pictures while hearing hippos in the distance, splashing in the water! I must say sundowners with Frank were always fun; he makes the best gin and tonic. Sundowners allowed us to share the day's adventures, share stories and laughter. I miss them.
Returning to camp for dinner, we again were brought cool refreshing drinks. Warm water for showering was promptly brought. Showering and looking up at the sky, feeling the warm breeze and hearing birds was ecstatically pleasing! Before escorting us to the dining tent, we would be seated by the fire and our chef would detail our dinner menu. My wine was poured and my glass was never empty. While we dined, our beds were turned down and our tent sprayed for bugs. I didn't see any mosquitoes and only once did I see flies at one campsite. Our tent was the perfect size for the two of us and the beds were very comfortable. It was nice falling asleep while looking the stars.
I do plan on returning to Botswana and bring my grandson; elephants are also his favourite animals. Frank, I can only experience this trip again with you as my guide.

Reliable and trusted tour operator
The trip was advertised as affordable safari and couldn’t have been better described. Mike was available by WhatsApp to respond to any query and make last minute changes to our booking. Excellent at keeping us informed every step of the way. Our guide and driver Stanley was a lovely man, very knowledgeable about the places we visited and the wildlife we viewed. He put 110% effort into making sure we saw everything from the best vantage point. He was just wonderful in every way. I would highly recommend the company and Stanley personally.
