Perfect Adventure
We went on a one day safari Trip in Mikumi National Park and it was a great experience. Our two guides were so friendly and gave us lots of interesting information about the Animals. The Jeep was huge, comfortable and spend us enough shade. We saw Elephants, Lions, Giraffs, monkeys and many more. Such a great day!

Delivered a once in a lifetime experience on a tight budget.
Our safari was VERY reasonably priced considering the costs for entering the national parks, number of miles we were driven for, and all meals being included. Communication via email prior to arriving provided a lot of helpful information, and WhatsApp messaging on arrival and during the safari ensured we were kept up to date.
It's important to be aware that things are more fluid in Kenya. For example, the accommodation you stay at may not be the named one, however, ours were all of the same standard as the named ones.
Our driver, Jimmy, was incredible and whilst we had some challenges to overcome (outside his control), he made sure they were sorted as quickly as possible. He also worked really hard in the drives, using his connections with other drivers, to ensure we got to see as much as possible, from the best possible angle.
We did the 7 day tour, and whilst Naivasha, Hell's gate and Nakuru were good, I would have preferred to have had 1 more day in the Masai Mara instead. Naivasha and Nakuru are great for bird watchers and Hell's Gate would be great as a rock climber.
It's important to be aware, that whilst the itinerary says the only "optional extra" is the Masai Mara village tour for $20, this is not the case and it is important you bring more money for other extra visits if you want to go on them. They were:
Walk on crescent island following boat ride $33
Hell's Gate bicycle hire $20
Hell's Gate canyon walk with guide
Amboseli walk from camp with Masai Mara guide $20
Finally, on the itinerary there was the mention of the possibility of a game drive in the evening following the drive from Hell's Gate to Amboseli. From what we can tell, this is virtually impossible, so do not factor this game drive into your considerations when deciding what safari option to choose. We, infact, believe Jocky Tours should remove it from their schedule so as to not raise hopes regarding it.
We had the most amazing experience and saw some of the most incredible sights. I have 1000s of photos I can't wait to look through and I am so pleased I got to experience this. I wouldn't have been able to without Jocky Tours offering such a great value experience.

Amazing Adventure - excellent organisation
From the moment of enquiry through to final drop off at the airport communication was excellent. The link from Safaribookings was very efficient and Dominic answered very quickly. I was nervous about booking but it was very simple and Dominic helped with all the planning and organisation as well as advice about lodge choices. Our guide Chris was fantastic. He was a safe driver and had excellent knowledge of the animals. In 2 full days and one half day in the Masai Mara we had the privilege of seeing the big 5 and so so much more. Having spoken to other people it is clear that Chris went above and beyond in terms of trying to find animals for us to view. In addition to this Chris is very friendly and easy to talk to which is important when you are spending a long time together. We intend to return!

All was amazing
I had the best birthday celebration planned by Maida from the serengety insider team, she did an amazing job to make my 5 days in safari the best time. Great experience and great team.

Andrew is the best guide you could ask for! Humble, smart, funny and very customer focused.
We could not have asked for more!
This tour was better than we could have ever imagined. Our tour guide - Andrew - made this whole tour very enjoyable from the first minute in the car.
We talked a lot on our way from Nairobi to Enkorok Camp and learned a lot from him about Kenya, the history of several villages and towns and the vegetation.
Enkorok Camp also was great. Very kind people and an amazing experience to sleep in big tents right next to the wildlife. Especially the nights are an experience!
During our visits in the Masai Mara National Park we saw lots of wildlife and four out of the big five! Andrew gave us great insight on all animals, took some off road tracks to find the animals we wanted to see and whenever we asked for a quick stop to either take a picture or - as he called it - mark our Territory, he did not hesitate and placed the car perfectly to take pictures or hide behind it.
Thank you for this great experience, we would book it all over again!

good
Our driver Geeman was excellent throughout the safari. He was professional, patient, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the animals and the area. He always tried his best to help us spot wildlife and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable during the long drives. Thanks to him, we had a wonderful and memorable safari experience. Highly recommended!

We saw all the animals and learned so much about Africa
This was such a great experience. Or guide, Amos, was amazing. He new where to find any animal, how to respectfully observe them, and pointed out so many interesting things about where we were and what we saw. I would definitely go with them again!

Amazing experience
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Faithful Adventures, and we couldn’t be happier with how our safari was organised.
A huge thank you to Innocent, who was incredibly helpful, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Everything was organised smoothly, we always felt well looked after, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about making our experience special.
We also want to give a special mention to our guide, Benjamin, who was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the wildlife, the national parks and Tanzania was incredible, and he always had something interesting to tell us. He was also such a lovely person to spend time with, which made the whole safari even better. We learned so much from him and really enjoyed every day in his company.
The whole experience felt personal rather than like just another tourist trip. We came away with unforgettable memories and would happily travel with Faithful Adventures again.
We can honestly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania. Thank you Innocent, Benjamin and the whole Faithful Adventures team for such an amazing experience! ❤️🇹🇿

Fantastic experience with Lion King Adventures
We booked one week safari in Tanzania including Tarangire, central and northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara! Everything was very well organised from the pick up to the airport to the safaris and accommodations. Both the travel agent responsible for the booking of the trip, Rebecca, and the one for arranging the details, Naurey, were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Our guide, Paul, was very professional and knowledgeable and made great plan for our safari game drives. He was very good at spotting animals. We saw so many different animals and many from very close including elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes. The change of scenery between the parks was also amazing. All the accommodations were great, with very polite staff. I highly recommend staying at the Nyota Rift Valley for Tarangire area!
