the Best and Most memorable experience
I Solo traveled to Kenya for a 6-day Safari with Marurumi, covering Masai Mara, Amboseli, &Lake Nakuru. I was very anxious when i started planning my trip as i had never been to Africa before. I did a lot of research and found "Marurumi Safaris". I had a lot of questions and the team was very friendly to answer all of them and made me feel comfortable. They were flexible to offer me a package based on my needs and offered me various options.
On the other hand. Lawrence (Lawrenzo), my guide was very friendly and informative. I am a photographer. So, i had to take a lot of pictures from various angles. Lawrence was very patient and made sure i got the best angles. He was definitely a best and very experienced guide.
Trip info (5 days): 2 days - Amboseli, 1 day - Lake Nakuru & 2 days Masai Mara with Hot-air balloon ride.
Package: Silver Accommodation - Amboseli sopa lodge, Lake Nakuru Sopa lodge (best one) & Mara Bush camp on a 4x4 Land cruiser
Overall, an amazing trip and i will definitely recommend it. Just book without having any second thoughts. You will not regret it.

So welcoming and kind!
We had a great three day safari with Six & Seven, even though the animals and parks were incredible, we enjoyed getting to know our guides even more. We had a group of twenty people so we got to meet many of the guides and they were all amazing. Definitely recommend!

Very exotic, a new experience.
Were on a three day safari to Nyerere National Park, very exciting, not a lot of tourists a lot of wildlife, thanks to the guide William for a great job!

Beautiful country, would recommend much higher prices for permits
The scenery in the little we saw of Tanzania was spectacular -- we LOVED the country and all of its people we managed to meet. But it occurred that much more that could be done with money from raising the cost of permits/entrance fees, for the game parks -- such as improved roads and jeeps that do not run on diesel and spew toxic exhaust (how about solar panels on the roof that tourists raise to see out?). Yes, we saw many wild animals close-up, which is indeed great for a first safari experience, but scores of jeeps dashing from one sighting to another left the impression of a safari park, where the animals are no longer "wild" but super-accustomed to being only feet away from humans. One poor cheetah mother protecting several cubs sat in the grass surrounded by jeeps, unable to reach her gazelle kill, which was rotting in the sun and increasingly likely to attract hyenas. So perhaps higher permit costs will reduce the number of tourists slightly while enabling infrastructure improvements and perhaps enforceable limits on how many jeeps may approach an animal at one time. Just a thought.

Review about Ngorongoro Crater by Cathy Kristiansen
Just too many jeeps making animal "finds" unrealistic. Also, very polluting drives, breathing in massive amounts of dust and carbon black exhaust particles from the many jeeps in front or going the other way.

Highly Recommend Jocky Tours
I had an amazing safari experience with Jocky Tours, especially thanks to our driver Steve. He always made sure we had the best views in the park—at one point we were so close to a cheetah in the Masai Mara, and among 20 safari trucks, ours had the perfect vantage point.
Steve’s knowledge was incredible—he could answer any question we had about the wildlife, the park, and the culture. He was also very considerate, allowing us to take extra breaks when needed, which made the trip even more comfortable.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours and especially Steve if you want a safari that’s both exciting and thoughtfully guided!

Steve was an amazing driver!
I had an incredible safari experience with Jocky Tours, and our driver Steve made it unforgettable. He always positioned us for the best views—at one point, we were so close to a cheetah in the Masai Mara, and out of about 20 safari trucks, ours had the perfect vantage point.
What impressed me most was Steve’s knowledge and care. He could answer any question about the wildlife and the park, and he also went above and beyond when I wasn’t feeling well—he helped me find a pharmacy along the way, which made a huge difference in the trip. He was also flexible with extra breaks whenever needed, making the experience comfortable and stress-free.
I highly recommend Jocky Tours, and especially Steve, if you want a safari that’s not only thrilling but also guided with care.

Great communication, easy to book, amazing guides!
We had the trip of a lifetime with Lush Safari. From the very first email, Abbey made the planning simple and safe, customizing our itinerary and always responding quickly.
In Kenya, our guide Peter felt like family — patient, kind, and always finding the best views, from lions by the road to the Great Migration crossing. In Tanzania, Patson shared his 16 years of experience with us, driving safely, spotting incredible wildlife, and telling great stories. Thanks to him, we’ll never forget the elephants less than a meter from our car and hundred of baboons passing our vehicles.
Every day was unforgettable — from luxury camps to rustic tents, from lion cubs to endless herds of wildebeest. If you’re considering a safari, book with Lush Safari and ask for Abbey, Peter, and Patson. They made our dream trip a reality.
P.S. if you booked any extra services like Ngorongoro crater walk, for example, make sure to confirm with your guide

The tour was very well organised and customised. A big shout out to Nelly for the excellent itenary
A very well organised and customised package tailor made to my specifications. A big shout out to Nelly and her team in Africa Incoming for doing a commendable job. Highly recommended for tours in South Africa especially the Safari package in Pilansberg National park .
