Communicative and knowledgeable!
My husband and I did a Safari tour with Eric in September 2024. We had an awesome experience and Eric was so easy and pleasant to work with. We were able to customize each game drive picking time of day and duration. Eric had a lot of insight on the park and where to find certain animals. We were very lucky and saw the big 5! Eric was also able to give us information on each animal we saw and was able to answer a lot of questions we had. We loved our experience and can’t wait to visit again soon!

Highly recommend, Amazing services and Professional Guides
We had a great Safari experience through Matrix Safaris. Not only that, our exploration of Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater was a lifelong experience, but we received high-level service from our Tour Guide who always made an extra effort to make our trip amazing. We managed to spot both "the big five" during our safari, but all because of our guide's good experiences.
I highly recommend this company.

Francis was an outstanding guide and deeply knowledgeable.
Our safari with Jocky Tours and Safaris was an unforgettable experience! From the start, their communication was clear and prompt, making booking and planning effortless. The service was outstanding—our guide, Francis, was professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about wildlife, ensuring we had the best game-viewing opportunities. The itinerary was well-organized, offering great value for money without compromising quality. The accommodations were comfortable, and everything ran smoothly, proving their reliability. Seeing the Big Five and the breathtaking landscapes of the Masai Mara was truly magical. I highly recommend Jocky Tours to anyone looking for a seamless and exciting safari adventure!

Polite, supportive, and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic experience.
A serious and reliable tour operator. They organized a wonderful couple’s safari for us in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru, allowing us to spot all kinds of wildlife up close and stay in two beautiful luxury lodges where we felt completely at home. The itinerary also included extra activities such as a dinner under the stars in the wilderness and a visit to a Maasai village. Our guide was knowledgeable and always available, and the tour operator’s staff was incredibly kind and supportive. Highly recommended!

incredible experience with Commiphora Africana Safari
We had an incredible experience travelling from Kilimanjaro Airport to the Namanga border. Everything was perfectly organized by Jackson, which allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the trip without any concerns. Our guide, Hussain, was exceptional, making the journey truly unforgettable as we spotted numerous lions, leopards, and other breathtaking animals. By the end of the trip, we had witnessed so many stunning sights that we decided to put our cameras down and simply savour the experience.
We wholeheartedly recommend Commiphora Africana Safari to all our friends and family.

Responsible, punctual and considerated with the clients
I had a wonderful adventure during my safari to Masai Mara. All the team was very kind and friendly. I love the punctuality for the pick ups, they call you with anticipation to double check the time and place. The safari went as it was scheduled. Our guide, Wilson, was very funny and ensures you are confortable and that you have a good view of the animals. Definitely recommended!!

My experience was very authentic and valuable
I traveled to Uganda, to volunteer with Go Volunteer Africa for 2 weeks. So the first thing I can say is that always apply for more weeks, if you really want to experience the Ugandan culture, and also to enjoy what Uganda has to offer.
It was the best experience I have had in my life so far. My experience was very authentic and valuable to my profession as medical student.
I at some point stayed with other volunteers at the Volunteers’ house but most of the time stayed with a sweet host family in Mukono. The Country Manager, Isaac was so incredibly warm and welcoming. Although I didn’t see him often, but he was always available, when we needed him, he knows every bit of his culture and he is a good resource.
The truth is nobody is prepared to come to Uganda until you come but believe me, after you are ready for everything and you will never want to leave!
I am incredibly grateful to the entire Ugandan team and Go Volunteer Africa for making my experience so rich. Overall, this was a very humbling and realistic way to experience Uganda and the rural culture and healthcare system. Thank you!

7 Days, Best of Rwanda and Victoria Falls
Trip Review
We recently completed a wonderful trip designed by Gorille Africain Tours (GAT). We wanted to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe but we only had a week to do both. GAT was able to create a tour that exceeded our expectations! We stayed at top-notch hotels in Kigagli, Volcanoes National Park, Harare and Victoria Falls. We were met with local drivers and guides who provided transfers to and from hotels as well as tours of points of interest in and around the places we were staying. All the people we interacted with were friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating – in particular Makosa in Harare and Godfrey in Kigali.
The trek to meet the mountain gorillas was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Visitors in groups of 8 were accompanied by guides and trackers up into the mountains to find the gorilla family assigned to them. We spent an hour with the gorillas, watching them go about their daily life, eating, grooming, playing and relaxing.
Victoria Falls is spectacular – we live near Niagara Falls in Canada so are familiar with huge waterfalls. In addition to a guided walking tour, GAT included a helicopter tour over the falls and a private sunrise cruise on the Zambezi River by Pure Africa Tours the next morning. Both were great experiences, not to be missed!
Throughout all of our tour, Mwaka Utanje from GAT was in contact with us, making sure everything went smoothly. We cannot say enough about her professional conduct and pleasant attitude. Mwaka’s dedication ensured that we had a first-rate experience. We highly recommend Gorille Africain Tours.

Unreliable
Beware of this "agency" ! We paid before departure to organize our trip for four people, but it wasn't fullfilled. No one came to the airport, and the agency manager lied to us repeatedly ! A complaint was filed at the Watamu police station (OB-24/31/12/2024).
This may seem obvious to you, but in hindsight : do not pay for your entire stay in advance and do not make money transfers to Nigeria to pay for your stay.
On the other hand, Kenya is a very beautiful country with wonderful people !
