the right decision
We went on a safari with African Flowers Adventures, visiting the city of Arusha, Tarangire and Ngorongoro parks, and the Materuni Waterfall at Mount Kilimanjaro. The organization—both before and during the tour—was excellent. We always received friendly, prompt responses, regardless of the time of day. We felt comfortable throughout the trip, and everything discussed beforehand went perfectly.
A huge thank you again to our safari guide, Elias, who went above and beyond to make our safari an unforgettable experience. Thanks to his extensive knowledge and expertise, he ensured we were able to see the "Big 5." Thank you very much.
The only downside was the accommodation in Arusha, the Charity Hotel; while the staff were very nice and helpful and the outdoor area was lovely, the rooms unfortunately fell short of safari standards. The bathroom was very dirty and moldy, the bed linens weren't entirely clean, and the lack of a mosquito net was a nuisance.
Otherwise, the tour was perfect and comes highly recommended.

An unforgettable safari and Kilimanjaro adventure with Sote Tours
Communication with Sote Tours was also really good, both before we arrived and throughout the trip. They gave us useful information and helped us know what to expect on both the safari and the mountain. The guides were friendly, professional and experienced, and we always felt we were in good hands.
Our safari took us to Tarangire, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater, and we were lucky to see all of the Big Five along the way. We also saw plenty of other animals and some amazing scenery. Every day was different, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and happy to explain things whenever we had questions. Communication was also really good throughout the safari, and we always felt looked after.
The second part of our trip was the 6-day Kilimanjaro climb via the Machame Route. We knew it wouldn’t be easy, but honestly, it was harder than we expected. Some days were really long, and the altitude made things even more difficult. The mountain team was always there to encourage and support us, which helped a lot. In the end, all five of us reached the summit. Standing on top of Kilimanjaro together was an amazing feeling and definitely one of the best memories from our trip.
We especially want to thank the whole Kilimanjaro crew. They worked incredibly hard every day, from setting up camp and preparing our meals to helping us on the trail and keeping us motivated when things got tough. Their support, teamwork and positive attitude really made a difference throughout the climb.
For anyone planning a Tanzania safari and Kilimanjaro climb, we would definitely recommend considering Sote Tours & Travel. The combination of good communication, professional guides and a hardworking mountain crew made our experience very special.

4 days Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari 🇰🇪
From the very beginning Faru made us feel that we were in the best possible hands.
He has an incredible knowledge of wildlife and an amazing ability to spot animals that we would have completely missed. But what makes him truly special is the passion he puts into his work. He never made us feel rushed and always took the time to make sure we were enjoying and understanding what we were seeing.
Faru also went far beyond simply being our safari guide. He gave us recommendations, helped us with other activities and constantly looked for ways to make our experience in Kenya even more special.
We came to Kenya hoping for an amazing safari. We left with unforgettable memories, incredible photographs and a guide we will genuinely remember for a long time.
Thank you, Faru, for making our safari absolutely extraordinary. You were a huge part of what made this trip so special.
If you are booking a safari with Jocky Tours, ask for Francis. Trust me — you want him as your guide. 🌍🦁✨

culture tour to karimojong with Florence
One afternoon, we went on a cultural tour to visit the Karimojong people. We explored their traditional villages, which consist of mud huts. That in itself was a highlight, but we also got to watch the traditional dances performed there daily. These weren't dances staged for tourists, but a genuine reflection of their traditional way of life; seeing it was truly extraordinary. Afterward, we visited the herders who tend to their cattle, goats, camels, and donkeys away from the village. At night, the animals are gathered into traditional enclosures made of branches. Here, too, we gained deep insights into their way of life. Our guide was Florence from Kara-Tunga Arts & Tours, and she did an exceptional job. She possesses extensive knowledge—hailing from a village herself—and offers excellent insights into their lifestyle. Plus, she is incredibly friendly and simply a joy to be around.

great experience!!
Our safari with Francis Faru was one of the most incredible experiences of our lives! 🇰🇪🦁
From the very first day, Francis was exceptional. His knowledge of the Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru, his incredible eye for spotting wildlife, and his passion for what he does made every game drive feel special.
We saw so many amazing animals and had moments we will never forget. But what really stood out was the way Francis went the extra mile for us — he was always attentive, helpful and genuinely wanted us to have the best possible experience.
The time flew by, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide.
Francis, thank you for the memories, the laughter, the incredible sightings and for showing us Kenya in such a beautiful way. This safari will stay with us forever!
If you’re booking with Jocky Tours, definitely ask for Francis Faru. You won’t regret it! 🌍

Our guide was amazing, and the team was incredibly supportive. We saw everything we hoped for!
Our wonderful guide Michael found everything on our list and more - a massive river crossing, all of the big 5, baby cheetahs and leopards up close, a lion stalking its prey and crocodiles hunting wildebeest. Michael treated us very well, and had a great intuition of where all the animals were hiding! Thank you so much Michael!!
The team at Fantastic Time Travel were extremely attentive and helpful as we planned our trip, and while we were out on safari. Even though we booked last-minute, they helped customise our tour to suit our preferences (flying out to Northern Serengeti rather than driving, spending extra time in Central Serengeti on the way to Ngongoro, and searching for as many hyenas as possible for our hyena-obsessed friend). They cared about perfecting the little details, like putting aside a bit of extra money to keep a cooler stocked with beer and soft drinks at the back of our car. The accommodation they booked for us was outstanding - particularly Mbuni Migration Camp in Northern Serengeti.

Amazing experience!❤️
An absolutely unforgettable safari experience with Francis Faru from Jocky Tours! 🦁🐘
We spent 3 incredible days in Maasai Mara and 1 day at Lake Nakuru, and Francis made the entire experience truly extraordinary. He is not only an excellent and knowledgeable guide, but also incredibly kind, attentive and passionate about wildlife. He always knew where to go, patiently looked for the best animal sightings, and made sure we enjoyed every single moment.
What impressed us the most was his initiative and genuine care — he went beyond what we expected, giving us great advice and helping us discover additional experiences along the way.
Thanks to Francis, our safari was much more than just a game drive — it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will remember forever. ❤️🇰🇪
If you are planning a safari in Kenya, ask for Francis Faru. We could not recommend him enough!
Thank you, Francis, for an incredible adventure! 🦁🌍✨
