Amazing safari with lovely people
We booked a private trip for 6 days for masai mara and lake makuru. I sorted out the itinerary with Brian over a year ahead. He was so patient and polite with all of my questions and making suggestions on how we could make the most of our safari. He always responded quickly with everything explained fully.
Brian met us the first day and went over our itinerary and introduced us to kelvin our guide for the next 6 days. I'm sure he gave us the best guide as I can't believe anyone is better than Kelvin. Brian challenged him to find us a leopard as they are difficult to spot. The second day he had found us a leopard. On the last day in the masai mara he asked what animals we would like to see again and we said elephants and hyenas. 15 minutes later a herd of elephants closed the road in front of us and then an hour later we saw 2 hyenas. We called him the magician as we ask for an animal and it appears a little later. He was so polite, knowledgeable and couldn't do any more to make us have the most fantastic safari we could. If you're book I really recommend asking for Brian to sort out your itinerary and kelvin to be your guide.

Very friendly, no rush, truly a pleasant experience.
The tour was amazing, Maasai Mara is atleast once in a lifetime destination and Hadven tours, Kenya made it a memorable one. The tour felt safe and adventurous at the same time!

Organized
Julius is very responsive and arranged stays, transportations, food, water, and the safari.
Our safari driver/guide Khalid is experienced driver, good communicator too. We had a traveling chef Dale cooked breakfast , lunch and dinner while on safari. Loved his food !
I would recommend Toilo Safari for my friends and family.

Amazing tour
Me and my friends had a fantastic safari trip with our guide Alex. We saw a lot of fantastic animals and Alex was great about sharing he’s knowledge about the parks, animals, Masai people and the locals areas.
Also we had a very easy pick up at Arusha airport and a nice place to stay during our safari.
So we can really recommend this company/guide.

Safari in Tsavo
For our safari, we chose Julius Tact Safaris, and it proved to be an excellent choice. They arranged our entire stay: one night at Hildana Lodge and two nights at Lions Bluff – probably the two best lodges in the area. Everything was smoothly and professionally organized.
We were picked up promptly at the airport, and along the way, our guide Ali even made a stop so we could buy a SIM card for our portable internet modem. Ali was a very pleasant guide, with extensive knowledge and explanations, and made us feel immediately at ease. At Hildana Lodge, we had a guide provided by the hotel itself, as they only work with their own guides, which we also greatly appreciated.
The safari itself was an amazing experience. We were a bit unlucky that there were slightly fewer animals to see than usual, but that’s just how nature is. Still, we witnessed some remarkable scenes – such as a male ostrich chasing after a female – which made the experience even more memorable, and of course, we also saw many other animals.
After the safari, we were dropped off without any problems in Diani Beach at the villa we had rented – again, perfectly organized.
Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Serengeti Safari with eXplore Plus Travel & Tours!
Our recent seven-day safari with eXplore Plus Travel & Tours was amazing, immersing us in the raw and breathtaking beauty of the Tanzanian wilderness. The highlight point began at the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The concentration of wildlife within the crater walls is astounding. We were greeted by vast herds of zebras and wildebeest, elegant gazelles and flamingos, and the powerful presence of buffalo.
Then came the heart of our journey: four incredible days in the vast expanse of the Serengeti. Staying in a tented camp was a highlight in itself. Falling asleep to the symphony of the African plain night – the distant calls of hyenas, zebras and hippos, the rustle of unknown creatures. The service at the camp was impeccable; the staffs were incredibly warm, attentive, and always ready with a welcoming smile and a delicious meal.
The game drives were the core of our safari, and they were absolutely thrilling. The Serengeti delivered a spectacle of life at every turn. We witnessed lions lazily napping under rocks or trees, cheetahs graciously walking pass cars, leopard lying on a tree branch, hyenas sleeping in bush.....
The ultimate gift from nature was witnessing the Great Migration firsthand. On not one, but two separate occasions in a single day. It was a raw display of nature's power and survival that we will never forget.
None of this would have been the same without our exceptional guide, Mr. Pascal. His expertise was undeniable. With his sharp, experienced eyes, he could spot wildlife hidden to anyone else. His knowledge of animal behavior, tracks, and the ecosystem was deep and shared with passion. He expertly positioned our vehicle for the best and safest views, ensuring we had phenomenal photographic opportunities.
This was more than a vacation; it was the trip of a lifetime. Thank you, eXplore Plus, and a special thanks to Pascal, for crafting an experience filled with wonder, excitement, and priceless memories. We returned home not just with photographs, but with a profound sense of awe for the natural world.

I booked the 5-day safari with Joky and I can only say THANK YOU. A wonderful experience. Everything was perfectly organized, everything was according to plan. What can I say about my guide, Franics... the best... capable, good, competent, kind. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Highly recommended.

One of the most amazing trips of my life with our guide, Andrew!
We traveled as a private group of three and booked a 5-day mid-range trip in Kenya. Our guide, Andrew, was absolutely amazing—super helpful, resourceful, and he really made our trip special. He knows the parks so well! We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha, and every stop was an unforgettable experience in such a beautiful country with wonderful people.
Even though we didn’t get to see the Great Migration, we were lucky enough to spot all of the Big Five, along with so many other animals and birds. Andrew kept things fun by sharing interesting facts and always putting us in the perfect spot for photos.
We highly recommend Jocky Tours and their guides. Andrew was incredible—attentive to every detail, always finding the best viewing spots, and even going out of his way to track down the hardest-to-find animals so we could enjoy those moments. We’re so grateful for his dedication and for making this trip one of the best experiences of our lives.
Big thanks to Andrew and the whole Jocky Tours team!
