The trip of a lifetime - Alfred and Jackson treated us like family
I cannot recommend this safari company highly enough! From the very first morning to the final goodbye, Alfred and Jackson provided an experience that far exceeded our wildest expectations.
Jackson: The Best Guide in Kenya
If you are lucky enough to get Jackson as your driver/guide, you are in for a treat. His experience and skill are unmatched. He worked incredibly hard to ensure we saw everything on our list—we actually spotted all of the animals we wanted to see on the very first day! He never gave up on finding the action, especially when he knew how much we wanted to see a crossing. His connections with the other drivers meant we always seemed to be in the right place at the right time.
But beyond the animal spotting, Jackson’s character is what made the trip special:
· Patience & Care: I was dealing with back pain, and Jackson navigated the terrain with incredible skill and patience.
· Joy & Enthusiasm: Even though he has likely seen a lion a hundred times, he celebrated spotting one with us as if it was his first. He took genuine joy in our happiness, greeting us every morning with a smile that set a positive tone for the day.
· Knowledge & Experience: He is an encyclopedia of animal knowledge, but we equally enjoyed learning about Kenyan culture, language, and even how to sing "Hakuna Matata" properly during our drives.
· Professionalism: He was always at least 30 minutes early, always helped in any way he can to make the trip smooth, kept us safe, and made sure we followed park rules. He was also incredibly thoughtful, checking our seats for us for any forgotten items before we moved on.
Alfred: The Master Organizer and Communicator
A huge thank you to Alfred, the co-owner, for putting together such a seamless trip. He was a fantastic communicator throughout the trip, checking in, and answering all my questions promptly. He went out of his way to ensure every detail was perfect and that the logistics were smooth. It is rare to find this level of personalized hospitality.
Overall, the hospitality and care we received were unlike anything I have ever experienced. They didn't just treat us as clients; they treated us as family. If you are considering a safari in Kenya, book with this team. You will not regret it!
Asante Sana, Jackson and Alfred!

Responsive and direct action.
The safari experience was really good, and we were lucky enough to see a wide variety of animals, which was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
The planning and communication could have been a little better at times, but it did not take away from the overall experience. We had a great time and made some amazing memories.
I would definitely recommend this company for safari experiences, visiting a Maasai village, as well as hiking in the Udzungwa Mountains. Overall, a very enjoyable experience!

An unforgettable safari experience with an amazing team
We had a wonderful safari experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris and were very happy with the whole trip. Everything was well organized, communication was easy, and the service was reliable from beginning to end.
A special thanks to our driver and guide Evans, who made our safari even more enjoyable. He was professional, friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable about the animals and the area. He always did his best to find the best spots for wildlife viewing and gave us enough time to enjoy the experience and take photos. We always felt safe and comfortable with him.
The safari was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Kenya. We had an amazing time and would happily recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris, and especially Evans, to anyone planning a safari in Kenya.

Unexpected experience above expectations
From the beginning the assistance of the company and specially Glory was helpful, clear and quick. We changed plans twice and we always felt understood and supported. Glory was always ready to satisfy our scheduling update. Even in we experienced some unexpected changes, due to unexpected events that could happen in the wild, our Safari and stay was awesome. Both of our guides was great in catching big 5 and ready to explain us everything. We really enjoyed the service of Malaika migration tended camp and the beauty of Moyo tended camp. Your food was delicious. Such beautiful horizons and experiences we could only hope. But dream became true. We saw the great migration, we have had hot air balloon Safari at sunrise and we found more than once all of big 5. Great assistance and great experience, highly recommended, with Miracle Hot Air Ballon Safari. Just a suggestion: having equipped with more than 1 binocolus for 3 people would be appriciated. One of the best trips of my life.

Amazing experience!
Our trip to Uganda with Likyadi Adventures was an amazing experience that we will always remember. We saw beautiful places, had wonderful experiences, and created many special memories.
From the start, even before the trip, the team was very helpful and supportive. They provided all the information we needed, answered our questions, and were always available to help us prepare. This made us feel relaxed and confident before arriving in Uganda.
The trip was very well organised, and everything went smoothly from beginning to end. The accommodations were comfortable, the itinerary was well planned, and we appreciated how punctual and organised everything was.
What we liked most was the professionalism and reliability of Likyadi Adventures, together with their friendly and caring attitude. We never had to worry about anything and could fully enjoy discovering the beauty of Uganda.
We highly recommend Likyadi Adventures to anyone planning a trip to Uganda. Thank you for making our journey so special!

Amazing experience
Thank you to Leopard Orchid Safaris for organizing an amazing experience. From the
moment I contacted them they were always quick to respond to my questions however small, and quickly made changes as requested to our requirements.
From the moment they picked us up at the hotel it was clear that they truly care about their clients, we were greeted by Victor one of the booking agents, James the Director and owner of the company and Fred our driver/safari guide, and they presented each of us with a hat and a water bottle.
We spent 6 days travelling between Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboselli and all were special for different reasons. Fred was amazing and worked hard during our time in Masai Mara, so we were able to see the Big 5, and then continued to communicate with other drivers to ensure we saw as many animals in the rest of the parks.
All of our hotels on safari were Sopa Lodges and the locations, views and food was fantastic.
Fred always tried to get in the perfect spot for my daughters to take pictures while being respectful to the other drivers and also giving the animals enough space (some drivers in my opinion tried to get too close).
We finished off our trip relaxing for a few days in Diani Beach and again the hotel suggested by Leopard Orchid was wonderful.
We would without a second thought recommend Leopard Orchid to our family and friends and hope to come back to Kenya again some day and will definitely contact them.

Warm and knowledgable!
We had a wonderful time with Jannet during the Victoria Falls tour, where we saw the falls/Rain Forest, the Big Tree, walked across the bridge to Namibia (no passport needed!), and then she had reserved a lovely lunch for us. We enjoyed her company so much we chose to eat lunch with her.. she now feels like an old friend! Wonderful trip; she is very knowledgeable and personable!

Highly recommend Suricata Safaris: Amazing Guide and Lovely Lodge.
We had a phenomenal time on our safari. Suricata Safaris provided a professional yet very personal experience from start to finish. Our guide, Jeremy, was the star of the show. He was patient, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure our group saw the best wildlife action. The vehicles were robust and well-maintained.
Staying at Suricata Boma Lodge made the trip complete. It was a beautiful place to unwind, and the entire team there was friendly and attentive. The connection between the safari team and the lodge team meant everything ran smoothly. If you're looking for great value without compromising on quality, go with Suricata.

Amazing Tour
It was about 5 hours and it was amazing the guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and were able to build a genuine friendship with them. The places they took me too were fantastic and they let you take your time with taking pictures and seeing the surroundings and they were very accommodating with breaks. Hopefully they can add the traditional Ethiopian dance and dinner to their itinerary in the future
