The best safari experience I could imagine
So after sending many quotes to alot of companies I decided to go with this company owned by John. The quote looked great but what would await me was even better. Because of the high season some of the accomodations where not available so we had other ones than that we saw on the quote, but they where much better. For the safari we had experienced guides and we where lucky to see the big 5 in 5 days of safari. The guides had a lot of knowledge about flora and founa and also about history and geography, so every question someone asked would be answerd, and they even liked being asked questions because it challenges them to think.
Overall I would really reccomend booking here if you want a unforgettable safari

A very personalised programme.
There was a lot of contact with Julie's before, he was responsive & listened to what we were looking for but was also able to make suggestions.
As a group of 5 we had our own land cruiser & driver/guide who was fantastic, really knowledgeable, professional, easy going & fun to be with. George made it a really enjoyable experience, we felt totally at ease & confident with him.
The whole trip was fantastic value for money, we stayed in fantastic places, I particularly liked Ol Pejeta & Samburu Simba lodge. Staff were lovely & very attentive everywhere, nothing was too much trouble, nice touches like a hot water bottle in your bed after a night drive!
We saw an amazing variety of animals, a lot of the encounters were really close up inc with leopard, lion & cheetah.
I would highly recommend Julie's Tact Safaris & George our guide.

Unforgettable safari experience with exceptional service
Our safari with Tanzania Roadside Expeditions was truly unforgettable. From the start, communication was smooth, clear, and professional, making planning stress-free. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we saw the best of Tanzania’s wildlife while always making us feel safe and comfortable. The itinerary was well-organized, accommodations were great, and every detail was taken care of. We felt the trip was excellent value for money, and their reliability gave us complete peace of mind. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable safari experience.

Best Price for good Service
We just booked very spontaneous (5 days before) and the Communication was fast via WhatsApp. Also payment via a link was smooth.
Arrived in Nairobi we were Picked up on time and started the trip. We were a group of 8 which was okay but a group of 6 would have been better.
We booked the luxury tour which I won’t name luxury. It’s like good middle class but was totally fine for our tour. So make sure to take this Option :)
Regarding the Organisation of the tour, it was perfect. Everything was well planned and we were super happy about our Guide Kevin. He is the most warm-hearted person and the best „hold on I get you infront of everyone“ Guide , haha. He knew everything.
So all in all it was amaaaazing and would totally recommend it.

Unforgettable safari with professional and caring guide
This was my first time visiting Kenya and I am very satisfied with the whole experience. The country impressed me with its abundant wildlife, pleasant climate, and the warmth of the people. The safari itself was truly amazing—thanks to our professional guide Kikitu, we were able to see lions hunting up close, encounter rare rhinos, and take many wonderful photos. Kikitu was always attentive to our safety, very responsible, and extremely reliable. I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a memorable adventure.

Trip of a Lifetime
Our experience was magnificent! The hotels were amazing! Our hotel Arusha Planet Lodge is lovely (the pictures don’t do it justice). Our flight didn’t leave until 8:30pm and we paid a small fee to stay in our room. We went to the spa which was beautiful and then we sat by the pool where we had a late lunch delivered. The food was great and very fresh. Our second hotel and Karatu Tented Lodge (which was my favorite) was just so fun!! It was comfortable at night (didn’t get too cold) and stunning during the day where you can sit on wooden rocking chairs on the deck, drink the best tea I’ve ever had while looking over rolling hills of beautiful farms and what looks like coffee. The safari was a once in a lifetime experience! Our guide , Aminiel, was awesome! He was patient and watch and waited for animals to come out. We saw just about everything (no cheetah). We went to 3 different national parks and they were beautiful . About a 31/2 hour drive from our 2 hotels. One on the dry desert and one in a tropical Rain Forest. The food at the lodge was great and the service- some of the best I’ve had anywhere. There are only about 12 tents so not many people. The air was aromatic with Jasmine, gardenia and honeysuckle scents. There are bathrooms at the Nation Parks and the guide drives you everywhere. The jeeps are bit bouncy but not uncomfortable. I have Arthritis in my neck and shoulders and the vibration actually felt good. The weather was perfect (first week in Sept). We saw thousands of animals- Lions, elephants (baby too!), zebras, giraffes, hippos, water buffalo, jackals, Thompson Gazell, 1000’s of wildebeest’s!! Flamingos- you will be surprised by the beautiful light pink colors! We also saw leopard, monkeys, and the most vibrant birds I have ever seen!! I’m missing other animals but it was so amazing! I would 💯 % recommend Serengeti Smiles- you won’t be disappointed! We did do a private tour and that was a game changer!!
