They took care of us in all aspects from the beginning still the departure. The guide was FANTASTIC.
The guide (the legendary Aron) was tireless, precise and punctual in everything. The first transfer to the airport, courtesy of Emmanuel, was pleasant and interesting, even though it was late at night. Aron's knowledge and enjoyment of this job were immediately evident. I would recommend him a thousand times over. The lodges were beautiful and impeccable, and the meals we were served were delicious. 10/10

Unforgettable Safari with a Professional & Reliable Team
We joined an 8-day/7-night safari with Meektrails and it was fantastic! The service was professional, reliable, and very friendly from start to finish. Hotels and activities — including game drives, a boat safari at Lake Naivasha, cycling in Hell’s Gate, and visiting a Maasai village — were well arranged and smooth.
Our guide James was polite, knowledgeable, and passionate, which made the trip even more special. We truly enjoyed our first Africa experience and highly recommend Meektrails for a safe and unforgettable journey.

I have no words to describe this life changing experience. Danford is the best guide ever.
This safari surpass all my high expectations. This is my first safari and I hope I can do more in the future. This is a life changing experience!
Danford was my guide and he is so patient and always tried to get us very close to the animals. We were able to see lions, elephants, zebras, giraffes very close. Adding to that, Danford explained a lot about the animals how to differentiate females from males, how they live and much more.
I would highly recommend this tour specially Danford he is amazing.
This experience wouldn’t be so nice without him. He made all the difference. I am so grateful of living this experience.
He is so good
I real enjooyed the tour.Time management was so perfect ,Drivers and vehicles are too good and clean ,also S/O to Our Tour Guider ,He was so committed to his work
Trustworthy responsible tour operator
We booked our Safari with Golden Trips in Jan 25 for Safari in August 25 and so we were a little late in making bookings, but Irene at GT made every effort to find the accomodation we needed and helped us to organise a holiday of a lifetime. She was very responsive and was happy to discuss my requirements n detail. We are a family of 5 and so not always easy to find the right accomodation and it was important for us to have rooms nearby. Irene called and arranged for this to happen at all 8 of the places we stayed and it was only one place for one night where this wasn’t possible, which was a great outcome for us given such a late booking on our part.
We also travelled with my daughter who has a severe nut allergy and my other daughter has a restricted diet. GT called ahead to make them all aware and our great guide in Tanzania (Gaspir) spoke with the staff every evening to make it clear.
These were important things for us and GT too them seriously for which we were very grateful.
Then comes the actual safari! We did 4 days in Kenya (Lake Nokuru and Masai Mara), 5 days In Tanzania (North Serengeti, Central Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire NP) and 4 days in Zanzibar. They took care of everything. The only thing we booked ourselves was a UK flight into Nairobi and return from Zanzibar.
Their coordination was impeccable. We were never alone. Someone always there with us with transport. Their communication over WhatsApp was also perfect. Responses within minutes. We had many legs to our trip with different people involved but it was absolutely seamless. Also all very kind honest people, nothing was too much trouble.
The Safari experience was amazing. Comfortable Landcruisers and safe drivers. We had Jack from Axis Safari in Kenya and Gaspir from GT in Tanzania. Importantly they were both safe and responsible guides and clearly well respected by others and they showed great respect to others too.
We saw everything we wanted on the safaris and more. So many animals! The guides were patient with the animals. Within hours of going on Safari with Gaspir we came across two leopards (rare!) with only one other car around (also rare!). We waited patiently for about an hour and got to witness them mating. Gaspir navigated the terrain perfectly to allow us to witness this amazing experience and also get great photos.
The days were packed with Safari. We set off each day before 8 (target was 7.30) and maxed out viewings returning between 5.30 and 7 most days. There was always ample drinking g water in the cars and washroom stops.
The guides gave us good information and answered any questions we had. Fully English speaking so no issues there.
The accomodation we booked was great. Nice and quiet and comfortable. Only hiccup we had was in the wild camps in the Serengeti where in one of our tents there was no running water and in the next two camps there was no hot water. Nothing GT could do about this given we were at the camps for less than 12 hours but perhaps something to check the reviews of the camps for to make sure it was just a one off. The wild camps were otherwise great as great atmosphere and you could hear animals in the night. One camp had zebra visit and another elephants and in one we heard a lion! Amazing experience.
Do remember to bring dollars of the right denomination for tipping in line with local customs. Also remember to get your visas in advance and vaccines. Eg need yellow fever vaccine if going from Kenya to Tanzania. And note that Zanzibar requires you to purchase mandatory local insurance upon arrival if not bought in advance. Would be more convenient to have bought this in advance like most had done as takes time and hassle otherwise.
Very grateful to Golden Trips for organising this wonderful Safari for us and being so caring and accommodating.
I look forward to booking another experience with them in a couple of years time as they offer so much. They are a trustworthy honest company I would be happy to recommend to family and friends.

Provided a great safari experience!
Our safari experience with Peak Seasons was great - beyond our expectations. It truly provided once-in-a-lifetime memories. In particular our driver Sebastian was fantastic at making sure we saw the animals we wanted to see. Every day the Land Rover showed up clean and ready for the day's drive. We saw an amazing variety of animals and their behaviors in the wild.
Sebastian was very skilled at finding animals, and positioning the vehicle so we could get good looks, or be in the right place so the animals would literally walk right past us (within feet of the vehicle). We didn't need expensive cameras or even binoculars to get close-up views and photos! Animals that were within 10 feet of the vehicle included gazelles, zebras, lions, elephants, giraffes, and cheetahs.
The complete tour included more than just the game drives, which were awesome, but also additional exceptional experiences. These included a balloon ride over the savanna of Maasai Mara, a walking Safari, a night-time game drive, and a visit to a Maasai village.
The lodges and camps we stayed at were all great. All food was included, the rooms were comfortable, and the grounds and environment and were exciting and memorable.
Considering what we paid, and the experiences we had, I consider this one of the best vacations my wife and I have taken. I would definitely book with them again, and plan to recommend them to any friends and family planning on doing an African safari.

Incredible experience I will always remember!
We had the best experience with Jocky Tours! The communication prior to the Safari was great! They answered all of our questions very quickly.
The Safari itself was a truly unforgettable experience. During the four days, we saw all the animals we hoped for and learned so much from our guide Solomon. He was patient and caring at all times. He provided the perfect game drives through the national parks. We‘re so grateful for Solomon, he really is the best :)
The accomodations were great aswell! Since it‘s always a buffet everyone can find something to eat! The food always tasted fresh and delicious.
To conclude, I would 100% recommend Jocky Tours - especially for the price!
