AMAZING Safari with Jovky Tours and Wickliff
We flew into Nairobi and stayed the night at the Hilton Garden Inn at the airport. Our guide, Wickloff, picked us up promptly at 7:30am. We drove to Amboseli and checked into the lodge. There was terrible traffic that day & he did an awesome job of finding an alternate route. We ate and unpacked then met him for our evening safari at 4:15pm. It was absolutely incredible. We saw so many elephants, zebras, giraffes, etc. The 2nd day we had 2 safaris...one in morning and one in evening. Again he was on time and even early. We saw incredible animals including a lion up close. He positioned our vehicle perfectly for amazing pictures. On the 3rd morning we had a sunrise safari and it was amazing...our guide spotted 2 cheetahs and giraffes so we were alone with them until tye other trucks arrived. It was so amazing. He was constantly working the radio and trying to find animals. There were only two single women on our trip and we felt completely safe. He did an amazing job....highly recommend him and his company...Jocky Tours with Wickloff!

Fabulous
Just completed a three day safari in amazing Amboseli National Park. Wickliff was our guide and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best vacation ever. He worked hard to find us all the animals we wanted to see. We will definitely come back to Kenya again and will request Wickliff to be our guide. I would highly recommend booking with Jocky Tours and ask for Wickliff to be your guide!!

Peter was Aamzing. He went out of his way to help us see all the big fives!
It was great fun in Masai Mara with them. We had full game drive in masai mara for a day, and another half day drive.
Stay was in tent with decent condition and people were very warm and welcoming!

An unique experience, with a skilled guide, in a wonderful country.
We booked the trip only a few weeks in advance and NGONI deliverd everything we asked for. The itinerary contained all our wishes, like multiple safari's, a gorilla trekking, farm visit and a relaxation day. Our guide (Reagen) was very experienced, had a lot of knowledge and taught us a lot about the country, the cultures, the nature and the animals. Everything was well organised, and even when there was a little problem with a booking, it was solved very fast. We felt relaxed and inspired the whole trip and enjoyed every bit of it! It was good value for money and we definitely recommend NGONI and Reagen to everyone. Hope to come back again and explore more of Uganda. Truly the pearl of Africa.

An amazing first safari experience. I loved every moment with Lion King Adventures !
My safari with Lion King Adventures was an absolutely unforgettable experience from beginning to end.
From Tarangire to Ngorongoro and the Serengeti, every day brought incredible moments, breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable encounters with wildlife. As this was my very first safari, I had no idea what to expect, but I honestly could not have dreamed of a better experience.
Everything was perfectly organized. Communication before and during the trip was smooth, efficient and, above all, warm and friendly. A special thank you to Florida, who was always kind, helpful and reassuring. Lion King Adventures takes care of all the practical details so that you can simply enjoy the journey. Everything feels easy, allowing you to forget about logistics and administrative matters and focus entirely on the magic of the safari.
And then there was my guide, Mecky.
What can I say? He was extraordinary. I learned so much from him about animals, wildlife, nature and life in Tanzania. His knowledge is impressive, but what made the experience truly special was his genuine love and respect for wildlife. For someone like me, who loves animals so deeply, I could not have asked for a better guide.
Mecky guided me, advised me, patiently answered my endless questions and taught me something new every single day. We also laughed so much! Those moments of laughter, conversations and shared discoveries became as much a part of my safari memories as the animals themselves. To me, he is simply the best guide in the world, and I feel incredibly lucky that he was the person who introduced me to the wonders of Tanzania.
The vehicle also deserves a mention, because you spend a lot of time in it during a safari. It was always comfortable and spotlessly clean, and Mecky took great care of it throughout the trip.
The camps were magnificent, especially Nyota in the Serengeti, which was truly exceptional. Everywhere I stayed, I was welcomed with incredible kindness and warmth. A very special thank you to Yohana, and to all the hotel and camp teams who did everything possible to make us feel comfortable and cared for.
And the food! Even as a rather picky eater, breakfast, lunch and dinner were a genuine pleasure. The quality, variety and care put into every meal were remarkable.
I honestly cannot think of a single negative point. Everything was designed to make the experience comfortable, seamless and memorable, while allowing us to concentrate on what we had come for: discovering Tanzania, its landscapes and its extraordinary wildlife.
A huge thank you to Mecky, Florida, Yohana and every single person behind the scenes who contributed to this journey. You turned my first safari into one of the most beautiful and unforgettable experiences of my life.
I came to Tanzania dreaming of its wildlife. I left with incredible memories, so much new knowledge, countless moments of laughter, and a little piece of Tanzania in my heart.
Asante sana to all of you. ❤️

Effective transport with good service, clean busses and friendly drivers. Not too much space in bus
The tour from Hoedspruit - JNB was kept short and effective, whilst also being quite pleasant, by our driver Thomas. A stop every two hours, good information flow and overall great service made it a great experience really. Would use again.

Accomodating
Thank you to Phinora and Francis (driver) from Rochar expeditions, the safari package was perfect and exceeded all our expectations!
The hot air balloon and Diani Beach add-on was well worth the money.
We were lucky to be able to see the Big 5 and thank the team for the hard work and dedication, every single moment was accounted for and we have enjoyed this as our first time in Kenya!

Committed!
Peter was extraordinary! He worked tirelessly to ensure we see as many animals as possible. He was professional and very knowledgeable about the animals. We saw, lions, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, wilderbeast, warthogs and a host of birds. We missed the leopard and buffalo. Next time. Really great safari. I highly recommend doing this adventure
