Amazing
Thank you Christine and Victor for the experience. Victor was an amazing driver/tour guide, arrived 5 minutes before time and dropped us at the said time. I couldn't recommend this team enough
Thanks for organizing everything Christine!

Friendly, Professional, Safe!
I recently had an incredible experience with Felix from Serengeti Wakanda Tours during my Tanzania safari. His extensive knowledge of the wildlife and local culture made every moment enjoyable and educational. Felix was not only friendly but also attentive to our needs, ensuring we had a comfortable and memorable trip. We saw a stunning variety of animals up close, and his passion for the region was evident throughout the tour.
Felix is an outstanding tour guide who prioritizes safety and cleanliness. He is a very safe driver, expertly navigating rough roads while ensuring passenger comfort. Each day, he makes sure that the truck is clean and well-maintained, enhancing the overall experience!
I highly recommend Felix as a guide for anyone looking to explore Tanzania's breathtaking landscapes and wildlife!

Well priced and planned safari tour
We really enjoyed our safari with Tanzania Wildheart. Our agent Goodluck was great with communication and arrangements from pickup at the airport to drop off at the end of the safari. We booked a 7 day safari which was 5 days in the parks and a day in Arusha to rest from jet lag then a day to return to Arusha for flights the next day. There wasn’t much to do in Arusha and we could have skipped that day. Tarangiro was amazing as well as the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. We would have skipped Lake Mantara national park as it is much smaller and the lake was flooded due to rain. So many of the roads were closed due to flooding. Our guide Samson was an excellent driver on the rutted pot holed roads which took a lot of concentration. He also is knowledgeable about where to find the various wildlife and keeps in radio contact with the other guides about recent sightings. He has a lot of info on the animals on breeding, habitats, etc but only when asked. He did not freely offer the information. You must ask him each time you see something to tell you about that specific group of animals. If you want to be back at the lodge early to relax or for some reason, make sure the guide understands this. It is your private safari and you decide when you go back to the lodge but at times they get excited and do not follow the request.
Be aware of the need for an ETA visa to fly into Kilimanjaro that you can apply for before arrival to save time at the airport when you arrive. Also there is a small airport at the Serengeti if you would like to make it a one way trip and possibly add Zanzibar to the end of your trip. Our last day was about 8 hours of driving and 3 hours of safari to get from the Serengeti back to Arusha for flights departing at 6:30 am arriving in Arusha at 6:45 pm.
The land cruisers are equipped with a cooler for bottled water (provided) and snacks. Verify it is working before departure. In hot weather cold water is more enjoyable. Our cooler didn’t work. There is an inverter for occasional charging of devices (2 hours at a time).
All in all it was a great trip at a reasonable price. Lodges were very nice. Nothing was 5 star but it more than met our expectations.

Dickson is amazing! Great guide
We travelled with our 12 year old as a family of 3. Dickson has been driving 18 years and knew everybody and all the locals. Gave lots of good travel advice. A kind and funny man. I recommend this company because the car was only 3 months old. The terrain is unforgiving for bad drivers and other tours were getting stuck in poor vehicles- not safe. We felt safe and he was a skilled and entertaining host. We saw all animals

One of my bucket list items has been to go to a safari in Kenya! My daughter fulfilled this dream wish and couldn’t have done it in a better way with a better tour experience and guide than Dennis! He was amazing and showed us the Big 5 and the Ugly 5. He was so kind, attentive, drove so well, and we felt so well cared for the entire trip. I am recommending Jocky Tours and Dennis to anyone who wants to come to a safari in Kenya!

Best guide we could ever ask for and amazing tour!
I went on a safari with my family, 2 of them being my parents who are seniors. I could not imagine having a more smooth, fun, safe, and enjoyable experience than the one we had with Dennis and Jocky Tours. Everything was perfect and we truly have no complaints! Dennis was the most perfect tour guide you could ever imagine and we were able to see the Big 5 and Ugly 5 on our tour! I’m so grateful and happy to have had this experience with my family. It is one we will never ever forget! Thank you Dennis and Jocky Tours for a life-changing experience!

Great!
I did the Machame Route in 6 days and had the best experience ever. It was amazing to climb the kilimanjaro. Special thanks to Ben and his crew. Everything was perfect organised and I felt very safe and welcome from the first minute on. For my birthday I got a cake from the crew! We had a lot of fun during climbing and I m‘ll never forget the feeling I had when I was standing at the top of africa. ASANTE SANA 🫶🏼🙌🏼☺️
