So much more than I exptected
We booked our safari with Juventus and Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris feeling a bit skeptical about what to expect.
The reality blew us away.
Cheetahs, leopards, white rhino, black rhino, baboon, lions, hippos, crocodiles... I could go on...
2 days of amazing sights and experiences with extra care taken to make sure our experience was truly unique.
Our overnight camp was out of this world and the food was the best we had on our whole holiday - they catered to our diet impeccably!
My daughter left her teddy bear behind and they even managed to get it back to us same day!!!
Thank you Juventus for helping organise this experience
Thank you Japhut Bundala for bringing our experience to life and everything you did for us. You made this an experience we (and especially Mila) will never ever forget!

Eli was perfect! Outdid all my expectations!
So, we had a 7-day safari in Tarangire, Ngorongoro and 4 days in Serengeti.
We went private and for us this was perfect, we did everything at our own pace. I think that was a big plus. Our guide Eli was exceptional, professional and funny. He knew a lot about the animals of course, but also a lot about vegetation, how everything fits together and coexists. The mechanisms between different animals, plants, the soils, landscape, and history.
The Jeep was very comfortable, even after 7 days of non-stop driving.
We got everything from herds of Gnus and zebras, to rhinos, hippos, elephants, leopards, even a cheetah. All the different gazelles, giraffes, baboons and other small apes, vultures, ostriches, wild bore. I’m sure I forgot many others. Of course mostly thanks to Eli that has superhuman vision. Also the gnu crossing was something else.
What I underestimated is the importance of a good pair of binoculars. Best 150€ we invested in this trip. Everything else is kinda irrelevant.
The lodges were way better then expected and so was the food both at lunch and dinner.
Also a praise to patience, often waiting just a bit longer around animals paid off as it allowed a glimpse into their behaviours and not just static “shots”.
With that we saw a lot of different behaviours and situations from different animals. Lions on trees, mating, sleeping, curling, etc. this was possible also by visiting similar places day after day. So while I thought maybe 4 days in Serengeti would get repetitive, I have to report the opposite.
A truly special place that has to be taken with respect and patience, as our guide did.

Richard was knowledgeable and a great safari guide!
We were very happy with our safari tour with Jocky Tours. Our guide was knowledgeable and knew where to find so many animals. We highly recommend Richard!

i get what i wished for
I’m really satisfied with this safari experience.
From the very beginning of inquiries and planning, Victor was incredibly responsible and responded to my messages promptly. Since I planned to travel to Diani Beach after the safari, he offered plenty of great ideas for my onward trip. Even though I didn’t end up booking the Diani arrangements through him, he still generously shared lots of advice free of charge. I’m really grateful for that.
Our safari guide was Kikitu. He was extremely helpful and competent. On the first day and the morning of the second day, we managed to spot all of the Big Five. He has great connections with other local guides and staff across Masai Mara, which allowed him to locate animals quickly. Beyond the Big Five, we also saw many other unique wildlife species, thanks to him.
In terms of pricing, I think it was excellent value for money. Especially considering the high-quality accommodation we stayed at, including lovely properties like Sopa and Sentrim. All in all, it was an amazing experience.

What I was looking for
The JungleRoam safari team was awesome! They were super accommodating, allowing me to make adjustment to my schedule last minute and promptly answering any questions I had through the process.
For the tour itself, I had Johny as my guide who was excellent! He was super knowledgeable about the animals and was so good at spotting them before the other groups. We were lucky enough to be the first group who found a pride of lions eating a buffalo! Johny was the best, highly recommend him if given the choice!

Excellent organization and execution, many unforgettable moments.
We booked a five-day safari from Arusha to Kogatende. Although the planning and organization took some time, Rachel handled everything perfectly, and the entire trip ran smoothly. A big thank you to Rachel.
Our guide, Prosper, was available for us almost around the clock and made so many unforgettable moments possible; we highly recommend him—and a huge thank you to him as well.
Our five-day route took us from Arusha via Tarangire and the Ngorongoro Crater to Kogatende to witness the Great Migration. We had somewhat underestimated the driving times beforehand. Fortunately, however, we had decided in advance to fly back from Kogatende to Arusha; the drive would have taken at least another 12 hours. We highly recommend this option, especially since the flight itself is well worth it. Overall, it was a unique experience, though next time we would want to spend more time in a single location (the Serengeti would be our top pick).
Finally, a tip: definitely book a hot-air balloon ride—it is absolutely worth it!
Once again, a huge thank you to Prosper and Rachel for this experience!

Extraordinaire, excellent
I hesitated quite a bit before choosing Axis Africa Expedition & Safaris, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of their services and the professionalism of their driver-guides. As for value for money, I couldn't have asked for better.
Nous étions un groupe de 12 personnes réparties dans 2 voitures.
Kevin et Mohamed ont été nos chauffeurs-guide.
J'étais avec Kevin. Il a été extraordinaire. Attentionné, à l'écoute. Merci Kévin

Perfectly organized, Kind and experienced Tour!
As a couple (ages 30 and 29), we had a very positive experience on our safari with this tour operator. A big thank you to the team at Big Cats Safari! We would recommend them to anyone! Making initial contact was very easy, and the customer service team was very helpful and responsive. We received replies very quickly.
The tour operator handled all the planning, so we just had to pay a deposit and then wait for the safari to begin.
The safari is very well organized, and the safari guide is very experienced and knows the area inside and out. In the morning, you drive to the national parks, where the guide picks you up and accompanies you. At noon, there’s a lunch that’s both delicious and generous. This also supports local businesses, since the packed lunches are sourced from them. The accommodations booked by the tour operator are very nice and well-located.
We found them through a recommendation and would highly recommend the tour operator, Big Cats Safari.
We took these photos ourselves while visiting Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater.
