Excelente tour
The Safari Soles experience was incredible from beginning to end. We chose the 8-day package and it was an experience I would definitely repeat. Our guide, Simón, was spectacular: he was always very attentive to us, super helpful, and made sure we could enjoy every place to the fullest. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to see the Big Five, which made the safari even more special! He also took us to visit a Maasai community, which was a beautiful cultural experience. We felt supported and safe throughout the entire trip.
A recommendation for those planning a trip: dress very warmly, especially for the morning safaris in Ngorogoro because it gets extremely cold. I would definitely recommend Safari Soles for a safari in Tanzania. It was an incredible experience, with a very professional team and, especially, with a guide like Simón, who made our trip even more special. 🦁🐘🦒❤️

Helpful, flexible and full of knowledge. Friendly people.
Dear reader,
If i can give you one advise, it would be to just follow your heart and book a safari with African Mulimi Safari. From the first contact it became immediately clear that we were in good hands. Idris was friendly in his communication and when the safari started we met Pascal. Let me tell you a bit about Pascal. He is the most wonderful friendly guy you will ever meet. Maybe a bit shy at first but helpful with whatever you need. For context, we did a safari with my wive, me and our toddler (1 year and 9 months old) and everywhere i read that it was not advised to do it because it would be too hard with a toddler. It was quite the opposite for us and this was also because of all the help Pascal gave. For 3 days he helped with the toddler, luggage, money and everything you can imagine. When our vehicle broke down, he managed to find another vehicle quite fast so we could continue the safari. We sang and found hunting lions and even a hyena who no one else had seen that day. He is a great spotter and his love and knowledge for animals are clear. Thank you Pascal and Africa Mulimi Safari!

Unforgettable safari, perfectly organised, amazing places and people. Papa John made it magical!
We booked a private 8-day safari with Jocky Tours, completely customised around what we wanted to see, and honestly, the whole experience was exceptional from start to finish.
Our itinerary included Amboseli, Hell’s Gate, Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. Everything was extremely well organised, from the transfers and the timing of the itinerary to the accommodation, food and game drives. We never felt rushed and the itinerary was perfectly balanced.
The accommodations were all excellent. Amboseli Mountain View was beautiful, with brand new tents and an amazing view. Sankale Mara Camp was also great, with very kind and helpful people and everything clean and well looked after. At Hillscourt we were also treated to a massage, which was honestly one of the best massages we have ever had!
But a special mention absolutely has to go to our guide and driver, John — AKA Papa John.
John really made the trip. From the first day to the last, he took care of everything and was always precise, patient and available for anything we needed. More than just a driver, he has an incredible knowledge of the parks, wildlife and animal behaviour. He seemed to know exactly where to go and when to be there to give us the best possible chances of seeing something special.
He knows the parks like the back of his hand, but what really made the difference was his passion. You could see that he genuinely loved what he was doing, and every sighting felt even more special because of his knowledge and enthusiasm.
We had some absolutely incredible moments during these 8 days, and honestly, they just flew by.
A huge thank you to Jocky Tours for organising everything so well, to all the amazing people we met along the way, and especially to Papa John for making our safari such a memorable experience.
If you are thinking about doing a safari in Kenya, I would have no hesitation in recommending Jocky Tours — and if you can, ask for Papa John. You won't regret it.

Spectacular! A gift from nature
An unforgettable safari experience in Tanzania 🐘🦏🐆
We went with Amosh and Deo to explore Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara, and the whole experience was absolutely incredible. We were lucky enough to see so many different animals, including some truly unforgettable moments like spotting cheetahs and a black rhino. 🐆🦏
But the most amazing moment came when nature gave us a real gift: five elephants passed just one metre above our heads. It was an incredible experience and a memory we will never forget. 🐘❤️
A huge thank you to Amosh and Deo for making this safari such a special experience. Their knowledge, professionalism and friendliness made the trip even better.
And of course, a special thank you to my rafikis for teaching me a little Swahili along the way 😂🇹🇿. I definitely learned a few new words!
An absolutely unforgettable experience. Thank you so much, Amosh and Deo! Asante sana! 🙏

Wonderful experience highly recommend
Just back from a 10 day safari with my 16 year old son and my brother. It was an amazing experience. Our driver guide James made it for us I think. He was so professional, kind, and patient with us. He was very passionate about the wildlife and always did his best to make our safari holiday the best experience it could possibly be. The accomodation and food on the trip was amazing. I can not recommend this company and James highly enough. We are from Ireland and will be recommending this company and this trip to our friends and family.

Very reliable and always available
The experience has been very satisfactory. The organisation succeeded in any step of the trip. The Soroi Private Wing camp was a combination of genuinity and warm atmosphere, a wonderful location very well led. The guide Collin Sempele has been very professional. He is very prepared for explanations, a very good driver, very generous in time. He understands customers needs. We were feeling very safe with him.

Great tour operator, professional service and great safari
The tour was smooth, from the start our driver David Mukami looked after us well and drove excellently navigating the rough roads and ensuring we saw all the animals and wildlife. The tour itself is well paced, and accommodation does the job.

An unforgettable Safari with Papa Johns
We have just finished 8 wonderful days on safari with Jocky Tours, and we can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of our lives.
At our request, the tour was organized privately just for the two of us and tailored around the places we wanted to visit: Amboseli, Hell’s Gate, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara.
From the very beginning, communication with Jocky Tours was excellent. During the planning stage and whenever we asked for information, their replies were always quick, clear, and reliable, which made organizing the trip very easy and stress-free. We also felt that the value for money was excellent, especially considering the quality of the experience, the private itinerary, and everything that was included.
A huge part of what made this experience so special was our guide, John, also known as Papa Johns. From the very first day, he was incredibly kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly very passionate about his work.
During the game drives, he knew the parks extremely well and always seemed to know the key areas to visit in order to spot wildlife, including some of the more elusive animals. Thanks to his experience and his ability to understand animal behavior, we were lucky enough to witness rare and unforgettable moments that we never imagined we would see in real life, such as a pair of lions mating and a leopard walking close to us with its prey in its mouth.
What we appreciated most was how much he enjoyed sharing his knowledge with us. We learned so much about the physical and behavioral characteristics of the animals, and he always took the time to explain the differences between species and point out details that we probably would never have noticed on our own. His passion was contagious and made every sighting even more interesting and memorable.
In Amboseli, we spent three nights at Amboseli Mountain View Camp, which gave us some of the most beautiful mornings of the whole trip thanks to the breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro. We had a wonderful stay and would especially like to thank Carolina, Betty, Kibe, and Daniel for their kindness, hospitality, and for making our time there even more enjoyable.
We also visited Hell’s Gate, where we had the chance to enjoy a great bike ride, before continuing to Lake Nakuru. There, we stayed at Hillcourt Resort & Spa, where we were welcomed with exceptional kindness. If you stay there, we definitely recommend trying Mary’s relaxing massage— it was absolutely perfect after several days of safari!
Our final days were spent in the Masai Mara, where we stayed at Sankale Mara Camp. We were warmly welcomed, the tents were spacious and comfortable, with private bathrooms inside, and the food was delicious.
The eight days simply flew by. We saw incredible places, learned so much, and experienced moments that we will remember forever.
Thanks to Jocky Tours for the smooth organization and great communication and, above all, to Papa Johns, whose professionalism, dedication, knowledge, and passion made this trip truly unforgettable.
We would absolutely recommend this experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris and with Papa Johns :)

John was thorough, helpful, and a great sport to be around
This was an amazing experience. We felt we got a full moneys worth and were fortunate to see SO MANY animals. Highly recommend booking a night safari as an add-on. It was incredible. Our guide John was highly educated on all the animals so we learned a lot. The service was great, the accommodations were even better. Truly superb with delicious food. We are hoping to come back and will book again w Splendid
