Once in a lifetime experience
Highly recommended! Veey professional organisation, everything went very smooth, they accommodated all our request. The guide Rashid was very experience, even in high season he managed to avoid long queues and we saw all big 5 with him and learnt a lot. Special thanks to our special chef Richard that was cooking delicious meals every day, we enjoyed it a lot ! If we ever come back we will do the safari with you, love and peace !
Best First Safari Experience
Jael from Jacmiya Safaris was extremely communicative from day one. They reminded us about visa and vaccination requirements, and even checked whether we actually needed a visa (we didn’t). They crafted a Masai Mara-only itinerary at the exact duration and budget we wanted. When our accommodation at Zebra Plains turned out too cramped and stuffy, we shared with Jael and had a room upgrade as a solution within the hour.
Evans, our guide, made our safari truly special. He personalized the entire experience, making sure we saw not just the Big 5 but also hippos and crocodiles — animals we specifically wanted to see beyond the usual checklist. He stayed in constant contact with other guides to track sightings, which meant we made the most of every drive. During the Great Migration, he went beyond just wildebeest, giving us multiple chances to see zebra crossings too. Beyond the animals, Evans was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing facts about Kenya plants, medicinal herbs and birds that gave us a full safari experience, not just a wildlife-spotting one.
Overall, Jacmiya Safaris is a truly reliable agency that delivered the best possible first safari experience for us. We’re incredibly grateful and highly recommend both them and Evans to anyone planning a trip to the Masai Mara.

An absolutely exceptional safari from start to finish ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Choosing Serengeti Wakanda Tour was one of the best decisions we made for our honeymoon. From the very first conversation to our final goodbye, everything was exceptionally well organised, thoughtful and personal. We could not recommend them more highly.
It all started with the presales team. Ymke and Aishwarya were fantastic throughout the planning process. They listened to what we wanted, gave us excellent suggestions and helped us shape an itinerary that was much better than what we would have planned ourselves. Their recommendation to fly directly into Kogatende in Northern Serengeti, rather than spending hours driving there, was brilliant, as was their advice on how many days to spend in each area. We always felt that they were genuinely trying to create the best possible experience for us, rather than simply selling us a package.
Our experience continued with Fabby, who picked us up from Kilimanjaro Airport and took us to our hotel in Arusha, and Cuthbert, who later took us to Arusha Airport for our flight to Kogatende. Both were incredibly friendly, talkative and welcoming, always with a smile on their faces. It immediately gave us confidence that we were in very good hands.
And then we met Felix, our safari guide — and honestly, how lucky were we!
Felix was absolutely outstanding. From the beginning, he explained the Serengeti rules and everything we needed to know, and he patiently answered every question we had with incredible detail. He was funny, kind, attentive and always willing to help.
But what really made Felix exceptional was his knowledge of the Serengeti and his skills as a safari driver and guide. His ability to spot animals at an almost impossible distance was incredible — sometimes he could see things with his naked eye that we could barely find with binoculars! He seemed to understand the animals and anticipate what was about to happen. We witnessed not only the Big Five, but also some extraordinary wildlife interactions and action happening right in front of us. There were several moments when it genuinely felt like Felix somehow knew what was going to happen next.
For our stay in Central Serengeti, we were also lucky enough to experience the new Lala Salama Luxury Resort, which was outstanding. Everything was brand new, beautifully designed and incredibly comfortable. As honeymooners, we were welcomed with a special room setup, and the entire team was exceptionally kind and attentive throughout our stay. The views from the dining area and outdoor spaces are simply breathtaking — the kind of scenery that photographs really cannot do justice.
Our final day in Ngorongoro was equally unforgettable and was the perfect way to finish an incredible safari.
And as if all of this wasn’t enough, Serengeti Wakanda also surprised us with some lovely gifts — a T-shirt, a Maasai shuka and mugs. Such a thoughtful and generous gesture that we really appreciated.
Looking back, what stands out most is not just the incredible animals and landscapes, but the people. Every person we interacted with genuinely cared about making our experience special.
100% recommended. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, we would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Serengeti Wakanda Tour. They exceeded our expectations in every way.
And we are already looking forward to coming back — next time with our kids! ❤️🇹🇿

Friendly
I had an amazing time on my safari to the Maasai Mara with Jocky tours and safaris.From the moment we were picked up, everything was incredibly well-organized. The vehicles were comfortable, the accommodation was excellent, and the driver was very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to see four of the big five animals, which was a dream come true! I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a hassle-free and breathtaking African adventure.

Exceptional 8-Day Safari with Top-Notch Guiding and Seamless Organization
We just completed an unforgettable 8-day, 7-night safari, and the entire experience was outstanding from start to finish.
A huge thank you to Brenda for coordinating our trip seamlessly—her communication and support made the planning completely stress-free.
Our guide and driver, John, was an absolute professional. His driving skills across rough terrain were remarkable, and his deep knowledge of wildlife behavior allowed us to spot far more animals than we ever expected. Every game drive was well-timed and spot-on.
Our accommodations—including Entim Camp, Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, and Ol Tukai Lodge—were extremely comfortable, offering incredible close-up views of the wildlife right from the properties. Highly recommended!

Unbelievably great experience
Was professional from start to finish
As with anything like this I had done my research but as always a little apprehensive
But didn’t need to be
The communication from day one set the tone
Quick to respond
Quick to answer questions and really professional throughout
Picked up from the hotel in a nice comfy car
Dropped at airport where a rep met us and guided us to the gate
Picked up at the other side by a rep / tour guide who was the best in the business
Sebastian our guide new where to find the anninals and how to get the best views
He knew how to position himself and the vehicle to allow space for the animals but also get up close and personal
Thanks so much to Sebastian for all his animal knowledge and also to the team on WhatsApp for their clear communication
Well done

A unique and incredible experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime!
Everything was absolutely perfect! The organization of the trip and the itinerary were thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. All the lodges where we stayed were wonderful, with clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent food. The activities were also very well organized down to the smallest detail and were extremely interesting.
We also had the opportunity to bring some things with us to give to the children (clothes, games and school maturil), and our guide gave us the chance to personally hand them out to the kids. This was an experience that truly touched my heart and filled it with joy.
I would like to sincerely thank Devid for organizing the trip and for always being present, attentive, and helpful.
Last but certainly not least, I want to sincerely thank Max, our guide, for his patience, professionalism, and wonderful personality. Our safari would not have been the same without him.

An amazing tour with prompt responses and a highly experienced guide!
It was an amazing tour. Before the trip, they responded promptly whenever I asked a question, which made me feel very secure and reassured about joining the tour. The guide (driver) was highly experienced, and we were able to see a lot of animals. I highly recommend this tour operator!
