Excellent operator, will go with them again next time.
The tour guides were excellent in educating us on the history, culture, and wildlife. They were a joy to spend time with, even outside of the safari times. The team repeatedly went above and beyond while exceeding expectations. As a highly reliable group I look forward to touring with them again.

A great day in Pilanesberg
I had an absolutely wonderful experience on my recent trip to Pilanesberg National Park.
What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was our driver, Alex. From the moment he picked us up, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive. The drive to and from Pilanesberg can be long, but Alex made it feel effortless. He drove safely and confidently the entire time, which allowed everyone to completely relax and enjoy the journey.
The game drive itself was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this experience—and if you’re lucky enough to have Alex as your driver, you’ll be in excellent hands!

Reliable and professional
We truly enjoyed our time with Pacifique, our driver and guide from Hermosa. He made our travel comfortable by providing water, Wi-Fi, and by customizing the itinerary and stopping at places we wished to visit. He always greeted us with a warm smile and was very friendly.
Pacifique also shared his personal experiences and the story of how he became a tour guide and driver, which made the journey even more interesting. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and birds, and he helped us spot many of them during our visit to Akagera.

Safe, comfortable, informative driver and guide in the Cape Town area
Great, low stress way to tour the Cape Town area, wine region, and Garden Route. Our driver Macdonald was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

Great experience in Kenya
We really enjoyed the safari experience with Jocky Tours & safaris. Our driver was David Mukami and he made every effort to make us see all animals in their habitat. He is a good driver, he managed to take us safe to the destination, although the weather wasn't friendly at all.
I recommend this experience for all it offers.

Perfect
The safari experience was truly incredible and something I would absolutely recommend to anyone considering it. We did a four-day safari and overall had a wonderful time. Our driver, Gifty, was excellent—very kind, cheerful, and always willing to help and show us as much as possible. I was completely satisfied with him, and he definitely contributed to making our experience even better.
The only aspect that could be improved is the food. Personally, I was not very satisfied with either the quantity or the quality, except for one dinner which was very good. Most of the time the portions were just barely enough, and sometimes it seemed like there wasn’t quite enough for everyone. Nevertheless, the safari itself was a unique experience and one that I would still highly recommend. 🦁🌿

Amazing trip - thanks to the operator
The first contacts were amazing with Bernard - reactivity, easy communication, flexibility, reliability. Bernard provides quotes and answers so quickly, it is a pleasure to organize a trip with him. I hope every of my future trips will be assisted with Bernard…
We feel considered, and expected. Everything is perfect and he is so arranging.
Then, upon our arrival, we had an amazing welcome, as if we were coming home. Bernard welcomed us and introduced us to our guide, Sam.
During our 4-day safari, Sam was really amazing. He went above and beyond to show us the best scenes of animal life. He explained us so many things about the secrets of the wildlife, that was really impressive. He is kind, flexible and really reliable. He showed an amazing sense of service, and a deep expertise in the safari.
Finally, our trip would not have been the same without those guys. They are the best, and they really made us feel home.

Responsible and honest
This is the best experience for coffee lovers. You can see the coffee trees and experience the entire process from harvesting the fruit to drinking the coffee. The staff are very kind and willing to explain things to you carefully and take photos and videos. And best of all, the freshly brewed coffee is delicious. There are also some cute, docile dogs on the farm, which is very relaxing.

Stuck in mainland Tanzania with kids
We booked a safari with Hello Tanzania in February 2026. Unfortunately, the experience was affected by several serious operational issues.
On the second day of the safari, park entry was delayed because the park fees had apparently not been paid. The company stated there was a problem with the park system, but both park staff and other guides at the gate indicated that this was not the case.
In addition, the return flights that were part of our package were never confirmed despite repeated requests before and during the trip. Because of this, we ultimately had to purchase new tickets ourselves in order to return home (approx. 1038 USD).
The company later acknowledged the situation in writing and promised reimbursement within three days. That deadline has now passed and no payment has been received.
The matter has been formally registered with the Zanzibar police (case reference MAZ/RB/576/2026).
I hope the company resolves this situation and honors their written commitment. I will update this review if the reimbursement is completed.
