Magic in the Heart of Tanzania
I had never been on a safari before, so I did not know what to expect. Oldbeast Vacations completely blew me away!
Our guide, John, was amazing. Funny, kind, and patient, he knew all the best spots and made sure we had a clear view of every animal we encountered. He shared fascinating facts about every animal we saw, and thanks to his expertise, we were able to see all the animals we hoped for, including the Big Five! His great rapport with other guides also meant he always knew exactly where the animals were.
The camping experience was comfortable and well-organized, but the absolute highlight was the food. Fredy, our chef, prepared gourmet meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, each one absolutely delicious.
From the very beginning, Mwanne made the booking process smooth, helpful, and reassuring, answering all our questions with patience and care.
I can’t stress enough how incredible this trip was. If you book with Oldbeast Vacations, make sure to request John as your guide, it truly makes all the difference!

Heartfelt Care from Start to Finish
Our honeymoon safari was organized by Caroline from Tanke Tours, and we have nothing but praise for the entire experience.🧡 Everything was perfectly arranged, from the initial days spent in Nairobi to the five-day journey through Amboseli, Tsavo West, and Tsavo East.
The lodges recommended by Carol exceeded our expectations — from the atmosphere at Kibo Safari Camp to the comfort and quality of the Serena Hotels properties. Our drivers and guides were incredibly kind, friendly, and attentive, making sure we were safe, comfortable, and able to enjoy every moment of the game drives.
The safari routes were well balanced, offering a perfect mix of wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes. We were genuinely amazed by the variety of animals we saw and the beauty of each park.🐘🦒🦓
Overall, we experienced exceptional service, professionalism, and warmth from the entire Tanke Tours team. We highly recommend Carol and Tanke Tours to anyone looking for a reliable and memorable safari adventure in Kenya and we definately fell in love with Africa forever! 🧡🌍

A very professional and well organised company that above and beyond and exceeded our expectations
I would like to thank Elijah and Jackston for making our visit to Kenya an unforgettable experience. From my first contact with Elijah he was very responsive, professional and helpful. He did everything possible to ensure that the trip was planned to ensure the best possible outcome for us. Being our first time booking a tour in Africa we had some reservations with regards to scams. Elijah was completely transparent and did everything possible to ensure we were comfortable with our payment method. Once the trip commenced I had an unexpected hospital visit which Elijah and Jackston personally ensured I was well looked after. Elijah then reorganised our itinerary on the go so that we were able to continue our trip with the minimum amount of disruption and ensured that travel times were conducive to my recovery. We would have no hesitation in recommending Green Places Adventures. One thing we would advise other travellers is to be mindful of road conditions in Kenya. Upgrade your vehicle to the best you can afford and be aware that the roads are extremely rough and travel times are a lot longer than you are used to.
Thank you Green Places Adventures once again for making this bucket list adventure the trip of a lifetime.

Very reliable and professional
My partner and I did the 7 day Masai Mara/Nakuru/ Naivasha and Amboseli shared tour. Our first guide was Kush. He made our tour of the Masai Mara amazing. He had so much patience for our never ending questions. I wanted to see certain prides of lions and he made it happen. We also got to see tiny lion cubs which was just amazing. He really did make our time in the Masai Mara amazing. We always felt safe and well informed. Our next guide was Dennis. We did Nakuru/ Naivasha and Amboseli with Dennis. He was another great guide. The amount of driving he did as astonishing. He was a great driver is some very questionable roads. He also made sure we had plenty of time to see all animals and birds we wanted too. He made sure the was plenty of toilet breaks. Which is really important when you are in a land cruiser for hours. The accommodation was better than expected for budget accommodation and the food was good if a bit repetitive. I would most definitely recommend Jocky Tours. Both Kush and Dennis made our safari amazing. Really can't thank Dennis and Kush enough.

I did a 7 day safari with jocky tours and it was 1st class . We had 2 tour guides during our trip kush and Dennis both of whom were exceptional they bent over backwards so we could see all the animals plenty of drink and washroom stops both very knowledgeable and professional. They both played i big role in a very successful and enjoyable tour . The accommodation was better than I expected the food was of good quality if somewhat repetitive .
Overall I found the tour to be very good value for money and would highly recommend to anyone considering doing jocky tours

The operator and Tour guide Ken were awesome. They managed everything so well. If I ever visit Masai Mara I would definitely book through them. It’s been a pleasure. I had spent the best 2 days of my life in Masai Mara.

A truly exceptional guide
An Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Albert
Our safari experience was absolutely incredible, thanks to our outstanding guide, Albert! His sharp eyes spotted hidden leopards and roaming lions that we would have easily missed. Albert's deep knowledge of animal behavior and local ecosystems made every game drive both educational and thrilling. He was professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife conservation. The stunning sunrise over the savannah and close encounters with elephants were unforgettable highlights. I highly recommend this safari, especially with Albert as your guide. A truly magical experience worth every penny

I had an amazing experience with Jungleroam Safaris from start to finish.
The service during the tour was outstanding. Our guide Albert was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about wildlife, which made the whole journey even more memorable. The itinerary was well-planned, and we always felt safe and well looked after.
In terms of value for money, Jungleroam Safaris exceeded my expectations. The quality of the accommodations, the transportation, and the overall organization was impressive for the price.

Masai Mara - a guaranteed highlight
Jocky Tours arranged a 3-day safari for me to the Masai Mara, which included an evening game drive and a full day in the reserve. Communication throughout the booking process was clear, and the accommodation they recommended—Jambo Mara Lodge—was excellent. I joined an existing group and was lucky to end up with a fun, friendly crew.
Our safari guide, Dennis, was fantastic. Quiet and soft-spoken, but incredibly knowledgeable and constantly coordinating with rangers and other drivers to make sure we didn’t miss any key sightings. Thanks to him, we had about 15 unforgettable minutes alone with two lionesses and their cubs. He clearly knows the park inside out and had plenty of insight to share. We managed to see everything except the elusive rhino.
On the last day, we chose to visit a Masai village. The community was very welcoming, and it was fascinating to learn about their way of life. Do bring some cash if you’d like to purchase their handmade crafts—it's a meaningful way to support their livelihood.
My only caution is the long 6–7 hour drive from Nairobi. It’s not the most comfortable journey, and the seats in our vehicle were a bit worn. After five hours in the back row, my body definitely felt it. Thankfully, during the actual safari drives, you can stand up in the jeep, which makes a big difference.
Overall, the Masai Mara is a guaranteed highlight, and Jocky Tours delivered a memorable experience.
