Amazing safari experience
We started our journey from Germany and booked package from this operator, we had an amazing experience with safaris and stays also we got David as our guide who was really knowledgeable and friendly guide.
Although all stays organized by the operator was really awesome, I would recommend to upgrade stay in Amboseli to next level because your experience will be really upgraded(food) if you do so :)
I would rate 10/10 to our guide/host David,
and 9/10 to our travel operator(considering Amboseli s afternoon food package and stay).

Very friendly and professional.
The girl who organized everything for us has been wonderful, she adjusted dates, times, prices... to adapt it to our possibilities, infinite patience!!! Ha ha ha.
We did a safari in the afternoon and another in the morning and we managed to see many animals, indescribable!!
Our driver and the safari guide, very attentive and friendly, explaining everything to us.
We were also in Victoria Falls in a Lodge 10 minutes walk from the falls.
It has been a wonderful experience and I recommend it without a doubt.
Many thanks to Paul who took us from one place to another always with a smile and infinite joy.

Very attentive and fast in responding
The Safari was an amazing experience. Our guide Frederick was very knowledgeable, kind and also fun, he made sure we saw all the animals we wanted. The jungle pearl lodge was one of the best hotels we ever slept in, wonderful luxurious bungalows and amazing personnel. We definitely recommend!

Great safari
We’ve had such a great safari from 7 days. It was a budget safari but we saw just as much as with an expensive tour. The drivers make sure you see the most. Just make sure you keep all writings and agreements and you will have a wonderful trip!

Consisten Communication
Abdullah was great to deal with. We had multiple conversations via WhatsApp prior to my departure for Tanzania and once I landed.
I find it a bit hard to leave a review because I know from talking to the others in our safari vehicle we all came from 3 different tour companies so I cant say if you will get the same driver, vehicle or cook. However, our driver Jonas (Yonas) and the vehicle he had at the time were amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his desire and ability to make sure we had front row seats at all the best sightings and his care and attention to our enjoyment. It was a magical trip, one I would do again. Ngorongoro was probably my favorite, though the Serengeti was also mind blowing.
The 'rustic' camps were fun and fit well with my desire to be camping rather than in a lodge. The food was great, nothing fancy but always tasted good. Get used to variations of Rice, Chicken and Vegetables.
My only real complaint was the amount of time I spent and number of texts back and forth with Godwin, the contact in Arusha. It really frustrated me. I had arranged with Abdullah for a pickup in Arusha that I was told was "perfectly fine", however over the course of nearly a day I had dozens of text messages with Godwin claiming it was not an easy pickup location and I should find my own way to a pickup point. ie Pay my own money and find my way via taxi / tuk tuk to a location in a city I have no knowledge of, instead of them finding me in a city they knew. It wasn't until I had my hotel call Godwin in person that we finally convinced him to pick me up. After that, everything was good.

Upon meeting Khyvens, the tour process proceeded very smoothly.
We embarked on a two day and one night safari tour from Mtwapa to Tsavo East National Park on September 22, 2023. The traveling route was a bit rough, yet the overall experience was quite memorable.
The drive/guide was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating throughout the trip. The animal sightings were ample in quantity within Tsavo East National Park, while the lodging at the Voi Hotel/Lodge was comfortable during the overnight stay on the peripheral rim of the wildlife refuge itself.
Looking forward to booking another safari tour through this company upon returning to this region next year at this time.

Very good safari, amazing experience with animals
The safari itself was very good, we got very close to the animals, lions in particular and I really enjoyed the experience. Our guide was John and he was excellent. I got a ride back to Nairobi with Jackson and he was also very nice and accomadating.
I can definitely recommend Jocky tours.
We stayed in the Lenchada tourist camp and it was OK. It was the budget option so I wasn't expecting anything fancy but I got put in a tent that you couldn't fully close both towards the outside and towards the bathroom. A big fly visited me.
And the mosquito net had quite a few holes. I should have let them know right in the beginning though, but still, they should take care that everything is at least properly working before people come. The others got proper tents though and the food ranged from okay to very good.

A little misleading, not fully upfront about pricing or format of your.
Overall, the tour itself is fantastic. The guide was great, and the driver is very polite. He did stop quite a few times for personal errands, but otherwise was great. Safari needs to be paid in cash, which I was unaware of during booking, so make sure you have plenty of cash! Also, it is not a group tour, as described. It is an individual service, so be aware if traveling alone!
