Responsive, detailed and informative communication
We booked 2 weeks with Kingfisher Safaris for October ‘25. This was our first safari and Martin helped us create itinerary for the first leg of our trip which included visits to Cape Town, Victoria Falls and the incredible Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. We are so glad we did it.
The second leg of our trip was a camping safari in Botswana’s Okavango Delta with a group of friends.
We loved every moment we spent in camps in Moremi and Khwai Concession. Our guide Pilot and the rest of the staff were there to make sure we have everything we need in order to feel as comfortable as possible. Pilot is one of a kind guide. He has decades of experience and very deep understanding and respect for the wildlife. I have to mention his great sense of humour as he made us laugh all the time. His dinner time stories were the best!
Thanks to Martin, Pilot and the ground staff, our trip was an amazing experience.

A Trustworthy, reliable and incredible company
We went on a 5-day private safari and it turned out to be one of the most breathtaking experiences we’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly arranged, from the luxury hotels and lodges to the seamless itinerary covering Tarangire National Park, Serengeti National Park, and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Our guide, Deo, was truly exceptional. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife, vegetation, and history of each national park, and his passion and love for animals and nature made the entire experience even more special. He took us to unique spots far from the typical tourist routes, ensuring we had the best chances to see our favorite animals including cheetahs, rhinos, and even lion prides with cubs. Thanks to him, we witnessed a cheetah hunting, which was absolutely unforgettable.
If you want a truly premium safari experience, we can’t recommend this company highly enough and especially Deo. A genuine 10/10.

Great vacation in Rwanda
Very progressive country. View of the countryside is eye pleasing, very clean and roads are mostly all well paved. Chimpanzee and gorilla trekking are a bit a challenge, exciting but also satisfying when successful. Our tour company guides took care of us very well. 100% reliable. Thank you

It was terrific!
The tour was exceptional. My guide Sospeter is a funny witty and knowledgeable man who really knows his way around the parks and he provides insightful information about the animals we saw. And my trip culminated when I finally caught a glimpse of Kilimonjoro after a long day of worrying I might miss it because of the weather. It was Sospeter's superb driving skill and dedication that made this happen.

Simon was the best!
I took a 7 day safari exploring Tarangire NP, the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Herbivore Expeditions made my first safari one of the best experiences of my life! Simon took such good care of my group through out the entire trip. He was excellent with all the logistics and communications. His knowledge of the terrain and where to find animals was amazing. His local staff shared the same expertise. Simon and his staff were also so personable and accommodating. I was with a private group of 7 staying in luxury lodging. This trip was definitely an excellent value for the money. All the lodging was clean, comfortable with a very authentic charm. It was a plus for me to be able to support a local Tanzanian business.

Professional, knowledgeable and a great value
I had high hopes for my trip to Kenya, and those were definitely fulfilled with Jocky Tours Safari. It exceeded expectations in every way and was an incredible value. Our driver/guide Joshua was truly outstanding, both friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The vehicle was comfortable, not overcrowded (7 passengers and 1 driver), and we loved opening the top for better views and photos. The overall itinerary was great, taking us to areas of Kenya with differing terrains and wildlife. Accomodations were better than expected for the budget. We stayed in tented camps for 4 of the nights and hotels for 2. In every case we had a private room and our own bathroom, with hot water. Food was nothing special but always plenty to eat, and tasty. Didn’t get sick and bottled water included everywhere. The safaris themselves were just amazing, and always something new and interesting to see. Had a great time with other fellow travelers from all over the world (Russia, Finland, and India). Highly recommended.

Harrison was knowledgeable about the tour but his excitement about showing us the culture was awesom
The chance to experience and learn about true village living was amazing. To see how life is lived there was invaluable. It reminded me of how much I take for granted. People seemed to be genuinely content with their situation. Made you realize life is not all about money😱😁

Beautiful country.
Kenya is a beautiful country. For people who love nature, the country is highly recommended.
My advice is to do the safaris yourself — not with a tourcompany/guide. With a tour, you get a driver (not a guide as promised) in an overcrowded safari jeep, with little flexibility, and you end up at lodges you wouldn’t have chosen yourself. A self-drive safari is easy to do with a 4-wheel drive and is much cheaper.

OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM!
We just returned from six weeks in Africa - three weeks in Zambia and three in South Africa - the land of our birth. It was sensational in EVERY way. Ubuntu organised our three extraordinary safaris in Zambia, air travel, tours, guides, accommodation and suggested many wonderful excursions for our four Australian friends who travelled with us in both Zambia and the Cape Province. There was not a single detail that was overlooked (and as Africans we know how difficult that is to organise in Africa!) - as 'older' travellers we were supported and always felt safe. Our guides were amazing men, informative and helpful. Our experience was one of wonder and awe - the animals were prolific and up close, in beautiful, peaceful surroundings away from others. The camps in Zambia were exquisite and the staff exceptional. The hotels in the Cape gave us the experience of staying with a favourite family in beautiful surroundings. We came home revitalised, healed and happy - and very, very grateful to Cuan and his Team for this Trip of a Lifetime. WELL DONE!!!
Thank you so much!! Sandra and Gerald Groom, NSW, Australia.
