Review about Katavi National Park by Lise Pedersen
Long driving distances from game drive areas to camp! Flamingos and lions were very special here, but also a lot of fine birds.

Excelente safari a buen precio! Awesome safari on budget!
Awesome safari on budget!
We did the 4 days budget safari of Maasai Mara and Nakuru Lake in a joining group with 4 more people (6 in total).
Contact with Jocky Tours was easy, good, quick response and directly. The price was also very convenient.
We confirm our safari just 2 days in advance and they contact directly us by phone.
They allow us to pay directly in cash the same day of departure; also we could pay in € and they gave us a good exchange from USA $, so we were happy.
The assigned guide was Kikitu, he is local, and speaks English and Swahili and some Spanish that he was improving with us!!
Kikitu go along with us all the trip, from the pick up at our b&b in Nairobi till the last day; so he was our driver also all the time.
He has a good knowledge about the country, the National parks and the animals.
Kikitu got to find quickly 4 of the big 5 at Maasai-Mara N.P. (Lions, Buffalos, Elephants and the hidden Leopard, very difficult to see) and we got the last one at Nakuru Lake N.P. (the white Rhino). We could saw the black Rhino, but we knew that its very difficult to find it, and Kikitu did his best for found it, so no complaints at all.
The van for safari is a Toyota, normal one, without any luxuries but good for this kind of adventure.
Kikitu was attentive all the time we had bottles of drinking water available all the time.
The Lemchada Tended Camp was even better that we expected and the meals were simple but correct.
The restaurants on the road was more simple, and in one the food was a little bad and limited; so the last day of safari, when we are coming back to Nairobi, as we both were the only people in the van, Kikitu offer us to stop for lunch in a different place, a local restaurant in Naisvhara were we eat some local food, better than the assigned restaurant and we had a good time with Kikitu.
He is the best one!!
Asante Sana.

Good listeners to your requests and will do their best to fulfill them.
We just came home from a 7 days tour to Tanzania, Arusha, Serengeti, Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, and more. We had a great guide who was also our driver. The guide is the person that can make your tour a success or a big flop.! We were lucky and go the best.
We had a middle range type of tour not too fancy and definitely got the Return on Investment.

E-Trip Africa Good, Fantastic Tanzania
Tanzania was a fantastic place.
The strong sunlight of Zanzibar was also good,
The dynamics of Serengeti were also good.
Thanks to E-trip Africa, who helped me from the initial planning, I was able to go on without any shortage. Thanks again.
It was a great help in choosing an event, choosing a hostel and choosing a safari. The schedule for helping was fantastic too. Although I was suffering from a physical discomfort during the trip, there were some things that did not feel good during the schedule, but overall it was the best trip.
Next time you travel to Africa again, E-trip Africa

Wonderful experience
We did a one-day safari trip to Mikumi national park. It was an amazing experience to see all the animals in their natrual enviroment. We got our own jeep and our own guide, who were very good at spot all the animals and told us a lot of information regarding the animals. The driver from Dar es saalam to the park was at approximately 6 hours, so it was long but it was worth it. The information regarding the payment and the pick up from our hotel could have been a little bit more clear.

Amazing
There are some hiccups with the guides but it did not dampen the spirit when you see the wildlife. Wildlife is plentiful and you will appreciate the amount of work the rangers place into ensuring the place is poacher free. This is something that should not be taken for granted.
Weather was all good and warm as expected. Special thanks to the chef who brought the whole experience up to the next level. He level of attention and care is beyond a job. He is passionate about what he does.

It Was fantastic
The wildlife was amazing , we saw a lot of giraffes an hippopotamus was just outside the cabin. Most of all we liked the many lions and came quite near them. Also saw elefants and wild dogs and lots of wild beast and zebras.
We went with Selous Explorer and was enjoying the whole trip.
