An experience to remember!
Our family and I had an incredible safari experience with Kilitime Adventures. Our guide, Stewart Shuma, was very experienced and funny. He made the trip fun for the kids too. Every day we saw something new–elephants, lions, cheetahs, zebras–in a word, wonderful!
The food, the accommodation, the transportation–everything was very comfortable and safe. Bakari was with us one day of the trip, and he was also very caring. We felt at home the whole trip. We all want to go on a trip with Kilitime Adventures again–thank you very much!

Don't look any further, you have found the best ...
After browsing sites like safaribookings.com, we found a program from African Pangolin Safaris that appealed to us, well-filled with what we wanted to see, and affordable within our budget. At our request, Mansoor further customized the program with an extra safari day in each of the three National Parks: Mikumi, Ruaha, and Nyerere (Selous). He also arranged a hotel stay in the city upon our late-evening arrival and an extra day in a beach hotel before our return flight, as well as all transfers. Furthermore, due to an announced strike at Amsterdam Airport, we arrived in Dar es Salaam a day early, so we left for Mikumi a day early for an extra day of safari. Mansoor arranged everything. Mansoor, who also accompanied us throughout the tour, and Ismael, who arranged the transfers to and from the airport, are friendly, polite, attentive, punctual, and careful drivers. We always felt safe, both in the hustle and bustle of the city and on the busy main road and unpaved dirt roads. The program was well-structured. The distances are what they are, but were kept short by overnight stays in interesting places like Iringa and MoroGoro. Thanks to Mansoor, we also visited places you wouldn't normally visit as a tourist: in a restaurant in town, in a village for lunch, or buying bananas or water at a roadside stand. Free drinking water was plentiful in the cooler in the vehicle, which had a pop-up roof for the game drives in the parks. Except for the dinners in Iringa and MoroGoro, all meals were included. There was plenty of choice, usually soup, chicken, beef, fish, pasta, potatoes, rice, and melon, pineapple, or cake for dessert. Lunches were sometimes packed, sometimes in restaurants. It's definitely worth visiting all three parks in the Southern Circuit, as each is completely different. What particularly appealed to us after visiting the northern parks 24 years ago was that the southern parks are much less crowded. The guides almost all know each other and exchange information about what they've seen when they cross paths, but even without that, Mansoor amazed us with sightings we would never have been able to make on our own. We saw a huge number of animals of various species, certainly thanks to Mansoor's more than 15 years of experience as a guide. He knows every path in the parks like the back of his hand and knows where the animals like to be at certain times. We opted for basic to mid-range accommodation and were very pleased to be able to stay close to, or even in the midst of, nature in many places. We feel like we've made a new friend in Mansoor and expect to return to Tanzania in the relatively short term to explore the even more unknown parks in the western circuit. Returning to Tanzania for a next safari, will definitely be again with Mansoor and African Pangolin Safaris.

Once in a lifetime safari!
My wife and I took this safari in Nov 2024, and it was one of the most exciting and engaging experiences of our lives. Everything from the initial meeting to the safari itself and the lodging was meticulously planned and went flawlessly. We saw lions, elephants, hippos, buffalo, leopards, zebras, gazelles, and so many other animals. Our guide was very knowledgeable, easy to speak to, and taught us a lot. He was open to planning the safari game drives however we wanted, whether it was starting earlier or later, lunch breaks, areas of the park to visit, and animals we wanted to track. I would absolutely recommend this safari!

It was a trip where I could see all the animals
I went on a safari tour by myself. The guide found the animals well. He was very professional and actively looked for them. So I could see many animals. Some animals were able to see them right in front of me because they were good at spotting. It is a must-see trip at least once in your life.

Brian is the best tour operator, ever.
Our safari with Africa Jocky Tours & Safaris was incredible from start to finish. On day one, we watched a pair of lions feasting on a huge eland, such a wild way to kick off the trip. The next morning, we headed out early in Maasai Mara and spotted four of the Big Five: leopard, elephants, lions, and water buffalos. We also saw a cheetah, tons of giraffes, and plenty of other wildlife throughout the day.
The safari vehicle was super comfortable and even had WiFi, which made it easy to share photos and stay connected. Brian was an awesome guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and maximized our experience in Masai Mara. I would get excited whenever Brian would announce Surprise, Surprise. It's kind of his thing. It means we are about to see something cool.
I’d 100% recommend Jocky Tours & Safaris, and especially Brian Ondigo, to anyone looking for a smooth, well-organized, and unforgettable safari experience. Thanks again, Brian, for such a memorable trip to Kenya!

Seven days private tour - Best experience
The seven day midrange private tour was an amezing adventure in Tanzania’s top national parks. Mary from the Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club prepared our tour seamlessly and was all the time in contact with us until we were fully satisfied. Tarangire. Serengeti (North and Central), Ngorogoro protected area and Manyara were places that we all dream to visit at list once. Now, I belive we could easily decide to come agan.
Our guide Gerson gave us many information about animal lives and nature in parks. He is real professional who made our adventure even better then we expected.
At the end, all lodges and camps were fantastic with great food and phenomenal people who work there.
Thank you Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club team.

A surpring trip to Kenya
We had a fantastic trip thanks to our reliable tour operator and guide. Nevill gave us some great advice before the trip, and our guide, Musa, was truly exceptional. He had a deep understanding and respect for wildlife and was very knowledgeable about birds. He helped us find the animals we wanted to see and even found many unexpected finds. If you're planning a trip to Kenya, I highly recommend our guide and tour operator.

Great value and exceeded expectations!
I had an amazing experience with Visit Creation. Just before my safari, I had a large suitcase with me, and I was so confused on how I was going to bring it to my trip. Nonetheless, Visit Creation kindly offered to store it safely for me while I was out on the tour, which was something I truly appreciated!
For the safari experience itself, all I can say is that it is way better than I could ever imagine, especially for the price. The tour guide was very informative, did not rush to explain each animal, and could answer every question that I had. When we saw an animal we were interested in, no matter which animal it was, he didn't mind stopping for as long or as quick as we want. He also made sure that we got the best view of each animal that we saw. Considering it was a shared tour, it felt more like a personalized experience rather than a group tour.
What really stood out to me was the attitude of everyone I encountered, from the safari organizers, the tour guide, to the people at the lodge. They were all genuinely kind, helpful, and committed to making sure I had a great time. To me, a good service means good attitude and everyone that I met have been truly nice and helpful. Overall, highly recommended!
