Unforgettable and authentic experience
The experience exceeded all my expectations and provided a wonderful introduction to Uganda, its breathtaking landscapes, and its rich culture and history. Andrew was an incredible guide, always making sure everyone in our group was comfortable, knew the plan, and was enjoying the experience. I would highly recommend a tour with Usoke Explorers and Andrew. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and one I will remember for years to come!

Reliable, professional, and genuinely went above and beyond to make my trip unforgettable
I had an amazing experience with Mwalim Tours and Safaris, and a big part of that was thanks to our tour guide, Ernest.
From the very beginning, Ernest was professional, reliable, patient, and incredibly accommodating. He made communication easy and ensured everything went smoothly throughout my stay. He didn’t just take me from one destination to another, he made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable.
He took me on an unforgettable safari, to Carnivore Restaurant, Village Market, and several other shopping centres, making sure I got to experience the best of Nairobi at my own pace. He was always punctual, knowledgeable, and happy to adjust plans whenever needed, which made me feel comfortable and well looked after.
The service was excellent and offered great value for money. If you’re looking for a trustworthy tour company with a guide who genuinely cares about your experience, I highly recommend Mwalim Tours and Safaris. Thank you, Ernest, for making my trip to Kenya one I’ll always remember. I hope to visit again soon!

Splendid organisation of the tour with a heartful team
The office is very responsive on WhatsApp and open to any questions about the tour. The drive to/from the hotel is very reliable and on point with good drivers. The team on the tour readily answer any questions regarding the tour/animals/scenery/food and are very hearty people and fun to spend a few days with. For the price you pay you get that and more than expected. Can only recommend! Thanks to the team of Daniel, Naftaly, Stephen, Simon, Stephen, Sammy, Mary and Stella for the wonderful experience!

Seasoned
Impeccable service from start to finish. Philemon was attentive, reliable, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable, making every part of the experience seamless and enjoyable. My family and I booked both the boat cruise and game drive with him, and they were easily some of the highlights of our trip to Chobe. His professionalism, warm hospitality and knowledge of the area truly set him apart. Exceptional value for money, I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Golden Trips Tanzania is hands down the best choice for climbing Kilimanjaro. I highly recommend
Golden Trips Tanzania is hands down the best choice for climbing Kilimanjaro. I highly recommend them for a flawless, safe, and deeply human trekking experience.
Expert Guiding: Their guides, Noa (for me ) , showed incredible leadership and natural authority. His deep knowledge of the mountain, botany, and wildlife added massive value to the trip.
Sharp Logistics: Flawless organization with daily morning and evening briefings. Schedules, nutrition, hydration, and clothing recommendations were always crystal clear.
Safety First: Meticulous approach to high altitude risks. They conducted regular medical checks, prepared me perfectly for the summit night, and had all emergency gear (oxygen, stretcher) ready.
Amazing Porters: The crew's physical strength was mind-blowing, but their joyful teamwork and family spirit truly made the trip unforgettable.
From preparation to recovery, Golden Trips Tanzania turned a demanding physical challenge into a safe, beautiful reality. Thank you for making my dream come true!

Safari with Sebastian & Brian
The safari was incredible. The guides gave us plenty of information about the animals and took us right up close to them. We were lucky enough to see elephants, leopards, lions, giraffes, hippos, buffaloes, and many others... We will cherish the wonderful memories of these two days.

Outstanding in every way.
I have just returned from an unforgettable Jocky tour safari and cannot speak more highly of the entire experience.
All of my online communications before coming to Kenya were friendly and the organization was impeccable.
On the day of our tour we were picked up and guided to the safari truck that would be our base for the next few days and introduced to our first guide, Francis. From the beginning he was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for the long journey to Masai Mara. We checked into our tented camp, Sankale, that was close to the park entrance. Everyone at the camp was friendly and accommodating. The facilities at this rural camp exceeded our expectations. They provided delicious food, comfortable beds, generator power to charge devices and additional comforts like a bar and snack service. They even have constant hot water which isn't a given at remote camps. We felt incredibly safe and really enjoyed the experience. From there we got our first experience in the park. This was an incredible experience. Although the evening game drive was short Francis made sure our minds were truly blown working all his magic to allow us to meet exciting animals including zebra, giraffe, lions and elephants. With the sun setting as we left I was able to capture some really magical shots and couldn't believe my expectations had been so exceeded. I was sure the next day couldn't get better but Francis proved me wrong! He was a man on fire taking us to the best spots and ensuring we got the best views of animals. His 16 years of experience gave us a better experience than anyone else I've spoken to from other tours. Knowing when to drive like a maniac to reach a spot versus waiting patiently to get into the best position is his greatest skill. I couldn't have enjoyed my time in Masai Mara more!
From here we journeyed to Lake Navasha and to allow us the most time in the park and to give us some optional extra time Francis was flexible with the itinerary. In Lake Navasha we saw Rhinos (black and white!) and many Rothchilds giraffes. Here Francis uncanny ability to know what the animals would do next and where they would approach and cross roads was incredible. On our final morning with this group we journeyed to Naivasha and took a boat ride to see crescent island, hippos and many bird species. This was a wonderful experience and we were grateful for the flexibility shown allowing us to do this!
After this we left Francis and continues our journey with Jimmy.
Jimmy was very welcoming to newcomers to his group and was exceedingly accommodating to other group members allowing them to make additional shopping pitstops that were quite inconvenient to him. He worked tirelessly to get us to Amboseli in good time and even when we were rushed he took the time to point out animals en route so we could enjoy the experience. We checked in to our second tented accomodations, mountain view, and this was really very luxurious for the budget classification of the tour. Electricity and hot water 24/7, wifi, bar, beautiful surroundings and a view of Kilimanjaro (when it's not cloudy!). The food was good and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely recommend.
The next morning Jimmy took us on a full day game drive through Amboseli and found herd of the giant elephants for us to see. He was patient and helpful for avid photographers in the group who wanted to perfectly picture the many bird species in Amboseli. His keen eyes and amazing experience helped us see species we definitely would have missed by ourselves!
Our final activity of the tour was an early morning game drive before heading back to Nairobi. Here Jimmy was amazing at finding the best spots with elephants. We got so many up close pictures of multiple family groups and adorable babies! He used his extensive knowledge to guide us and put us in the perfect spot for pictures. When other group members thought they knew better where to take pictures he was kind and explained why we were doing what we were and of course he was right!
Our journey back to Nairobi was very smooth with Jimmy and I cannot commend him more highly for dealing with difficult issues with hotel drop offs!
In all I would recommend Jocky Tours to anyone who wants to go on a safari and when my nieces are old enough to do a safari I'll be returning with this company and would be delighted to stay in all the same accomodations and meet again with the fantastic guides!!
