Thank you to Serengeti Smile for helping us plan and execute a seamless trip to Tanzania!
We have just returned from an amazing trip to Tanzania where we were able to experience a magical Safari through Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater followed by a relaxing few days in Zanzibar. We are so grateful to Patricia who helped us with planning the trip months in advance and personalizing our itinerary to fit our needs. She suggested lodges and luxury tents to meet our needs and found us a wonderful Safari guide to help us through our adventure. Patricia was also available to us throughout our trip and was very accessible throughout. We also enjoyed day time tours of Arusha, a coffee plantation, and visit to a Massai village. We had a wonderful trip and made countless memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to Serengeti Smile!

Wonderful safari that created lifelong memories
We had a very well-planned and memorable safari experience. The entire trip was thoughtfully organized, and the booking process was smooth from the beginning. Jerome was extremely helpful in customizing the itinerary and was also very understanding and supportive when we had to reschedule due to a family emergency.
Our driver-guide, Ombeni, was friendly, professional, and a very safe driver. He took great effort to help us see the Big Five and made the game drives enjoyable without ever feeling rushed. He was also very patient and accommodating, which was especially important as we were travelling with a 3.5-year-old child.
The safari vehicle was excellent, comfortable, and well stocked, which made a big difference during the long drives. Most importantly, the trip created lifelong memories for our little one, which made the experience truly special for us as a family.
Overall, it was a carefully arranged, family-friendly safari experience, and we would happily recommend them.

The team put together a fantastic itinerary.
We four had a wonderful 8‑day safari in Kenya with Africa celebrity. Special thanks to our guide Peter, he is extremely responsible and thoughtful. He knows the parks very well and is good at spotting wildlife. He drove safely and patiently shared knowledge about animals and local culture. The whole trip was well‑arranged by Africa celebrity, we really enjoyed every day. Would definitely recommend Peter and this operator to anyone planning a Kenya safari.

Jocky Tours was well organized and helped us with everything before, during and after the safari.
It was an excellent trip with Jocky Tours. I traveled alone, and everything was very well organized. There was always someone available to help and make me feel safe and comfortable throughout the experience.
A special mention goes to my guide, James Gichina, who was absolutely amazing! He did everything he could to make sure the group had the best possible experience, and he truly succeeded. I’m very grateful to him, not only for his kindness and dedication, but also for sharing so much of his knowledge about the animals and wildlife with us.
I would definitely travel with Jocky Tours again without a doubt!

Amazing Mount Meru hike
Climbing Mount Meru was one of the best experiences ever and i would recommend to anyone considering it! The walk is so beautiful and rewarding. The views were spectacular! The cabins you stay at are really comfortable. We were amazed to have such brilliant food on the mountain! It really kept us going.
Our guide and porters absolutely made our experience - Baraka and Godfrey. They looked after us so well. They encouraged and made us laugh lots on the walks and we would not have made it to the summit without them.
All together an unforgettable experience! We loved it!

So smooth and easy
Excellent tour with excellent service and a great time seeing the animals.
They were very professional.
We spent a long time getting the right bespoke safari. It was worth it. We fly to Samburu and stayed in Larsens camp. Top end luxury camp at reasonable rates. The food there was the best I have ever eaten in Kenya. And I have lived in Kenya for 26 years. The staff, a majority Samburu, were superb. The manager Eric was always present to make sure everything was running smoothly. The camp had a visit from one of the local elephants, Obama (I think) which the staff handled professionally - giving Obama all the space he needed whilst making sure the guests were safe. It was fun and amazing to be so close to a giant! T
We travelled by road (not my first choice) to Loisaba camp. Which was heavenly although the food couldnt top the experience in Laresens, the experience was fantastic- who needs to go the Mara when between Samburu and Loisaba we saw EVERYTHING with the added bonus of far fewer vehicles. We even got charged by a black Rhino (called William apparently). We are heading back to both these places again next year and want to try the Helicopter ride out of Loisaba- apparently a once in a life time experience.....

Exciting tour, careful logistics, caring customer service
Kiliclimb is a first-rate local Tanzanian tour operator. I was a solo traveler, and I found them through the Safari bookings website. I chose them both because they are locally owned, and because they gave them most competitive package for a four day tour, which even included beer and wine. They even gave me a T-shirt and Safari hat. I was put into a larger group traveling through Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorngoro. The animal sightings were top-notch, we saw all of the big five and the driver was very careful and respectful of the wildlife. There was a lot of movement between different lodges and campsites for different guests, but it all went so smoothly. The Kiliclimb team was in touch with me every day by WhatsApp to make sure that I was comfortable and happy, and met me in person on my way back to Arusha. I felt like they really cared about how my trip went personally for me, and they did a good job setting everything up. I couldn’t be happier. I recommend this tour group and will definitely travel with them again next time I’m in the area.
