He was personable, positive, a hard worker, communicative, and passionate about his work.
Emmy was great! He was personable, knew how to safely navigate difficult roads, and made our trip safe and fun! He answered all our questions (group of 13) and was available and responsive at all times. He was a hard worker, and never complained about the long days/drives. He shared about the history of Rwanda and showed us really unique areas which made our trip an exceptional experience. We all loved him!! 10/10

Amazing family safari experience!
We had an unforgettable week with Jastuce, our guide for Lucas Safari and our two children. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, smooth logistics, great lodges, and a real sense of care all along the journey.
Our guide and driver did everything to make us happy: they shared their knowledge, made sure we could see all the animals, and created a fun, relaxed atmosphere every day. We felt safe, cared for, and free to just enjoy every moment.
A truly magical experience, thank you for making our family safari so special!

Adventure with faboulous driver Joseph Rastaman
We had 3 wonderfull days in Serengeti and Massai Mara. We saw and learned so much abou land and animals.
Our driver Joseph was so skilled and with his open minded funny way h e created a familly out of that group, even we did not know each other before.
With Eagle eyes he saw every animal. So we saw Cheetahs, 100 of lions, cebu cats, leopards, hyenas... all with kids and much more like hippos, buffaloes beside thousands of gnus, giraffes and zebras.
We always felt well covered and loved thel odges or camping grounds we had booked
Thank you!

brilliant company
I had an amazing 17-day tour in Ethiopia with Vowland Ethiopia Tour, visiting Addis Ababa, Lalibela, Gondar, the Simien Mountains, the Danakil Depression, and the Omo Valley. From the very first day in Addis, I felt so warmly welcomed. Visiting Merkato and the National Museum was the perfect start to discovering Ethiopia’s incredible culture and history.
Exploring the castles of Gondar and the beautiful sites in the north was truly unforgettable. My guide and all the staff were so kind, professional, and always made sure everything went smoothly. They really made the whole trip special and full of wonderful memories.
I highly recommend Vowland Ethiopia Tour to anyone planning to visit Ethiopia. Thank you so much to the whole team for your amazing service and warm hospitality — you made my trip one I’ll never forget!

Joseph made me feel very safe and welcome
Overall, it was a really great experience. Joseph was such a warm and fun person to travel with. He made every effort to show us as many animals as possible, and we could really feel that he knew what he was doing. We were a very curious group and asked a lot of questions — and he always took the time to explain everything to us. He was also a safe and skilled driver, which made us feel comfortable throughout the whole trip.
We saw so many amazing animals and got to witness some incredible moments — and honestly, it often felt like Joseph was one of those guides who really stood out. We sometimes arrived a bit earlier than others or stayed a little longer at the perfect spot, which made the experience extra special.
We chose the low-budget camping option, since we’re both students and travel on a smaller budget. But honestly, it didn’t feel low-budget at all! The tented camps had real beds, private bathrooms attached to the tents, hot showers, proper toilets, and mosquito nets. It was actually super cozy. In Masai Mara and Amboseli, we could even hear the sounds of the animals at night — monkeys screaming, hyenas laughing and the wind passing through the trees. That atmosphere was something truly unforgettable.
The only part we probably wouldn’t do again was the visit to the Masai Village. It was interesting to learn about their culture and we were welcomed warmly with dancing, but later it turned into more of a shopping situation. We were separated individually and encouraged to buy jewelry at quite high prices, and it simply felt uncomfortable. Of course, that has nothing to do with Joseph or Jocky Tours — the rest of the tour was amazing.
So, overall we’re super happy with the trip, and we would 100% recommend doing the safari with Joseph. It was an incredible experience and absolutely worth it!

Knowledgeable
We had a wonderful time using Spirit of Kenya! They were great to work with and made scheduling our trip super easy. We absolutely loved our driver, Lawrence. We asked a ton of questions, and he never seemed annoyed, answering them all. He also knew the answer to every animal question we asked, I was impressed. He was always on time to pick us up, super flexible, great to chat with and made our lunches a great experience too.
I did get engaged on the trip so that was of course my favorite part. But my other favorite part of the trip was seeing all the lions and cubs. I also really enjoyed staying at the Four Seasons and the hot air balloon ride we added in. The services and staff at all of our hotels were extremely friendly and we were very impressed.

Safari Of Our Dreams
Serengeti Smile made our dream safari in Tanzania a reality. From the very beginning, Patricia—our representative—was an absolute blessing. Despite our long list of questions and several itinerary changes, she remained patient, proactive, and incredibly efficient in addressing every concern. The accommodations she arranged were each unique, offering us unforgettable experiences throughout our journey. Patricia was always prompt with her responses and kept in touch before our trip, during the safari, and even after we returned home to ensure everything went perfectly.
Our guide, Piyus, was outstanding. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, the landscapes, and Tanzanian culture added so much depth to our trip. With his sharp eye, he managed to spot even distant animals and made sure we didn’t miss a single moment of Serengeti’s magic. He was attentive to our requests and ensured we got the best possible experience every step of the way.
The Serengeti Smile team truly goes above and beyond, always putting the traveler first. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone planning a safari—you’ll be in the best hands and create memories that will last a
