Outstanding — by far the best safari operator I worked with in Africa
During my summer trip across Africa, I travelled with six different safari operators in South Africa, Tanzania, Kenya and Rwanda, so I had plenty of opportunities to compare the quality of service. I can confidently say that East Africa Safari was by far the most professional and impressive company I worked with.
From the very beginning, Anna, my coordinator, was absolutely fantastic: extremely efficient, friendly, responsive and always attentive to my needs. Communication was incredibly easy, and I always felt that everything was perfectly organized and taken care of.
In Rwanda, my guide Gerrard was simply outstanding. He accompanied me for my gorilla trekking experience and also took the time to really understand what I was interested in, adapting and personalizing my tour of Kigali accordingly. He was knowledgeable, attentive, warm and genuinely committed to making the experience special.
The gorilla trek itself was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life, and the professionalism and care of East Africa Safari made the whole journey even more memorable.
After travelling with several operators across Africa, East Africa Safari truly stood out from all the others. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning a trip in East Africa. A huge thank you to Anna and Gerrard for an unforgettable experience!

GREAT AND AMAZING FAMILY SAFARI EXPERIENCE
I started communication with Ngao Safari and requested them if they can plan and facilitate safari for me and my children during June Holiday.They sent 3 quotes with different options from 2-6Days covering Manyara, Tarangire, Ngorongoro and Serengeti.My children selected 5 days option as they wanted serengeti to experience migration.We asked Ngao to give us friendly budget but good safari.From communication to pick up and going safari was amazing, the guide Godlove was very friendly, on time always, knowledgeable able parks, animals behaviours and sharp to spot different times we didn’t even expect.The camp in Serengeti, the lodge in Lake Manyara where we stayed was quite good in a very cool and plain environment and during mid night we could hear animals moving around, however we were scared animals but remembering masai guards are around we slept peacefully and enjoyable. It is a very lifetime experience we will never forget. Seeing Migration in Gulumeti river crossing was something still clicks into my children minds and myself. On the last day we visited Ngorongoro which gave us a different perspective about life. We saw masai on the road walking, heading cattles and few meters you meet animals.It has been two months since we finished our safari the memories are with us like we were on safari yesterday.
If we asked by anyone I will recommend Ngao safaris as for them safari experience is what they take it with all energies and professionally.

Unique experience
The best choice ever! Professional, reliable, perfectly organized, flexible and honest. After getting in touch with several companies, we chose them because from the very beginning they were clear and transparent, extremely helpful, and offered us several alternatives that matched our requests. They also turned out to offer the best value for money.
The jeeps are comfortable and spacious, the lodges are wonderful, and the guides are experienced and engaging.
A special mention for the way they handled a personal emergency in real time, arranging transfers, a hotel and an internal flight so that one of us could rejoin the group and continue the safari.
The safari was an experience that truly exceeded our expectations, and our biggest thanks go to Frank, an absolutely exceptional person! A tireless driver, an attentive guide with the utmost respect for the land and wildlife, but also a great cook, a caring and resourceful all-rounder who has by now become part of our family 😉 He made every sighting special and always made us feel safe. He was always available without ever being intrusive, and managed to exceed every expectation thanks to his experience, kindness and great sense of humor. He was also incredibly patient with our 11-year-old son, who was endlessly curious.
We visited the four northern parks — Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Serengeti — and put our trust in them completely. In the evening, you will be tired and covered in dust, but it will always have been worth it, and your eyes will be smiling.
We will carry in our hearts forever the breathtaking nature, the rhythm and life of the animals, the warm welcome from the people, the delicious food, and the cinematic sunrises and sunsets.
When it was time to leave, we were moved to tears, but it was inevitable…
Asante sana, Tanzania and Big Cat Safari!

Safari in Kenya
The safari in Masai Mara National Park was wonderful; we saw a great many animals. Nakuru and Naivasha parks were also fantastic. Our guide, Joshua, is very knowledgeable and attentive; it is clear that he loves his job

Reliable, amazing and caring!
Our tour guide Jordan was amazing! I was sick during the whole safari and he made sure that I was feeling good, stopped whenever we had to and on the same time we were so lucky to see so many animals. He takes his job very seriously and shared his knowledge about the animals and plants. A lifetime experience.

An unimaginable experience
We have been overwhelmed by Zanzi African Safaris safari arrangements and schedule. They planned it just the way we expected starting from stays, all included food and water to the most important game drives. We started our social media journey as wildlife enthusiasts and naturalist’s photographers as @Wildframe_Duos(Instagram, Facebook), Zanzi with a team of excellent guides helped our Kenya, Tanzania safaris to become a grand success. We have photographed not just the wildlife, but captured moments that are unforgettable. Be it the Great Wildebeest migration, the Big 5, the ugly 5 and so much more that we have stories of lifetime. Overall experience was very rewarding and I do look forward to team up with them again soon.

Great value for money
Jockey tours was really reliable and punctual. They delivered everything that was promised and as it was explained.
1. Our guide was David Mukami. He was friendly, always ready to help and to support us on our requests. He was always looking for a great spot for us to see the animals. Thank you very much David!
2. We chose the mid-range option, which included the following hotels: Mara Wildnest & Buraha Zenoni & Chambai resort. The hotels were good. People were always kind. Food was good and comforting, and hotels clean. Do not expect any luxury, but they will provide you what you need. Buraha hotel was better than expected.
3. All the activities were great, except Hell's Gate, which was okeish. There are not too many animals. On the contrary, I highly recommend to do the walking tour in Crescent island. You will have the animals next to you (zebras, giraffe, wildebeest, antelopes). This tour was not included in the information or suggestions I got from Jockey Tours, so I would suggest Jockey tours to include it in the optional ones. Nevertheless, when I asked them about the option, they arrange it for us. For me crescent island was a highlight.
4. Safari of Masai Mara, lake Nakuru and Naivasha was a great choice for my first safari.
Thank you very much to Jockey Tours and to David Mukami, you make my safari a great experience.
