Flexible, transparent, fair price, nature lovers and, of course.. they have the best cars!
Our trip with Wild Uganda had all that we wanted and was perfect. I'll talk about some important points that might be important for other travelers:
- Communications: The communication with them was easy and smooth, first via email and then via Whatsapp. They were always answering fast and happy to help to solve all our questions (we had a lot). We had to customize the "route" for us and there was no problem on that.
- Tour: After reading a lot of information on internet, the tour the they propose to you includes what, for us, is the most important to see in Uganda regarding wildlife and nature. We did a 9 days trip and it was enought to see all what we wanted to see.
- Lodges: The lodges where you will sleep if you choose the low-medium budget option are really good. We were abit worried of that and it was a surprise that in all of them the food was increidibly good, we had hot water for shower, potable water, big and confortable beds with mosquitos net. We even met an elefant in QE while we were having breakfast!
- Guide: Derrick! This is you :) In our case, we did the trip with Derrick. He speaks english perfectly and he was able to answer all our questions about the animals, trees, parks, Uganda culture, food, history, etc... (Sorry Derrick, I know we put you on trouble in some questions :) ).
Derrick was on time every day, with the car cleaned and cold water waiting for us every day.
- Value for Money: We wanted to try to do the trip private (we are a couple from Barcelona, Spain) but almost all the options where extremely expensive. This one had a fair price. Probablye there are more luxury options with luxury lodges but honestly, we wanted to visit Uganda for the wildlife, nature and culture, not to be in a pool all the day. That's why we think there was no better option than that. And we were not wrong! We couldn’t be happier with the option we chose.
And last but not least, the have the coolest cars of whole Uganda!
Thanks Derrick, Wild Uganda. Good job and hope to see you again.

THE experience
Where do we even begin? Our experience with Leopard Orchid was simply unforgettable. It is difficult to put into words what we experienced: truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure.
Our guide Joshua, who accompanied us for six whole days, is one of the most friendly, kind and knowledgeable people you could ever meet. In fact, we now consider him a true rafiki (friend in Swahili), to the point that we are already daydreaming about our next trip with him.
His determination and patience allowed us to spot the Big Five — and even get incredibly close to them — as well as countless other animals. Some emotions simply cannot be explained; they have to be experienced.
There may even have been a little tear shed at the end of the safari. :)
Thank you for giving us such unique and unforgettable emotions.
Kwaheri and Hakuna Matata! 🦁🌿

The best part of our trip was our driver David
Due to being scammed by another safari operator, I had to choose Jocky Tours just one day before our departure. Looking back, I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions we made.
From the beginning, Jocky Tours was responsible and professional, and everything went smoothly.
But the biggest highlight was definitely our driver, David. He is an absolutely wonderful person — patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and very responsible. He explained everything to us clearly and was always happy to answer all our questions. Most importantly, we always felt safe with him, both on the road and during the safari.
David really made the experience much more enjoyable. We came to Kenya mainly for the safari, but meeting such a great person was an unexpected and very special part of our trip.
Thank you Jocky Tours, and especially thank you David, for giving us such a memorable experience. We would definitely recommend Jocky Tours to other travelers!

Fun and very responsible.
David was incredibly responsible and punctual. Having such a fantastic guide made this safari exceptionally fun!he took us as close as possible to the animals, allowing us to successfully spot the "Big Five"! Whenever we needed assistance, he was always there to help us patiently.
Thank you very much; the trip was wonderful!

Super Professional and Friendly
> This was the first jungle safari of my life and I enjoyed it a lot. I was over the moon! It was the first time I saw a free lion in the jungle so close.
> Our tour leader, Captain KHALIFA “O Mileage “is a super nice guy - very experienced and knowledgeable about the animals and the jungle. I really appreciate how he drove the jeep so we could see the views and animals clearly.

A professional, well-organised safari operator that goes above and beyond every step of the way
Our group did the 7 day safari with Jocky Tours, and it was truly a life changing experience.
Everything was organised so well from start to finish. Minneh was incredibly helpful during the booking process and patiently answered all my questions. We honestly couldn’t believe we got to experience such an incredible safari at such a reasonable price.
Our guide, John Walter, also known as “John of the Jungle,” was absolutely fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the different species of animals and birds across all the parks and was always happy to answer our endless questions. You could genuinely see how much he loves the animals and what he does. He was also hilarious and always knew how to lighten the mood and keep the group entertained. If you get Walter as your guide, you can be guaranteed that you’re in good hands!
I even had a little checklist scrapbook where I was ticking off all the animals and birds we spotted, and Walter helped me identify every species along the way. He was incredibly patient and attentive to all our needs, making sure we got the best photos from every possible angle! He was always punctual and made sure the jeep was clean and ready for us every day. Walter is truly an asset to Jocky Tours.
Another highlight of the experience was the freshly prepared meals at each stop. We really enjoyed having clean, authentic Kenyan food throughout the safari. The staff at every accommodation were also incredibly helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay comfortable. And the views at Amboseli Mountain View Camp were simply surreal absolutely stunning!
Jocky Tours exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you so much for creating such an incredible experience and a core memory that we’ll treasure for a lifetime!

The Extra Mile isn’t just their slogan, it’s how Miranda and Roko made our journey truly unforgetta
Our journey through Tanzania with Miranda and Roko was, in one word, unforgettable. This was no standard safari, but a journey that allowed us to truly experience Tanzania: its breathtaking landscapes and wildlife, challenging hikes through the mountains, camping in the heart of the Serengeti, visiting local villages and markets, cycling through rice fields and banana plantations, and, above all, the many special encounters with the people.
'Go for the extra Mile' is their slogan. For us, throughout this journey, it proved to be much more than just a slogan.
Miranda and Roko created a journey that suited who we are and the way we wanted to discover Tanzania. Their knowledge of the country, its culture and its people, combined with their ability to understand what would suit us, made the whole experience very personal.
During our journey, Roko was our guide and constant travel companion. He took us to places and experiences we would never have discovered on our own and sometimes challenged us to literally go that extra mile: along narrow goat trails, across rocks and mountain slopes. At all times, we felt confident that we were in safe and experienced hands.
Miranda also remained closely involved throughout our journey. Together, they created a wonderful balance between adventure, nature, culture and personal encounters, while always leaving room to adapt to whatever came our way. It was precisely this personal involvement and flexibility that made the experience so special to us.
For anyone who wants not only to see Tanzania, but to truly experience it, and who is open to adventure, the unexpected and sometimes a little less comfort, Miranda and Roko are the right people to travel with.
We came to discover Tanzania, but returned home with so much more: wonderful memories, unforgettable stories and, above all, a deep appreciation for the country and its people.
Go for the extra Mile? Miranda and Roko didn’t just promise it, they truly delivered it.
Asante sana!

All was just perfect
Everything was incredibly well organized with the Serengeti agency. And I can assure you that Elias is the best safari guide in Tanzania! If you can, ask for him to be your guide. He is an exceptional driver with truly amazing knowledge of every park. I came with my grandmother to make our dream come true; we managed to spot the famous "Big Five" in a single trip, saw around fifty lions, six or seven leopards (which are really rare), about ten cheetahs, and everything else you could imagine. This was largely thanks to Elias, who drove for 9–10 hours a day to make sure we saw them. A huge thank you for this magical experience—it will stay in our memories forever.
