Great tour, everything on time, great adventure with an amazing guide
First of all, James Mwaura is the best guide we could ever imagine. We feel like friends or even family after this amazing trip.
We had a 8N9D safari with 3 days Masai Mara followed by Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli.
James made sure we had the best time. He knows sooooo many things about the wildlife and nature and he could answer all of our questions! Also he is the best driver!
My gf’s luggage was lost for the first days and he organized the delivery to the Masai Mara and picked it up with us.
Also he made sure we see all the big 5 (a lot of times!). We were often alone with lions & cheetahs; or at spots with not many other cars. He took a lot of effort to encounter special sightings for us! Also he respected the animals and nature very well!
In the evenings, we sometimes had dinner with him and had nice conversations :)
Without him, the safari definitely wouldn’t have been as good as it was.
If you want better accommodations, we would recommend to upgrade the budget ones. In the Masai Mara, we stayed in the Endeem Mara Resort and this was fantastic! It’s only 1 minute to the gate and it has a nice swimming pool!
The other accommodations, we didn’t upgrade and they were quite basic - but fine for budget options!
Masai Mara was the best experience! We definitely recommend doing at least 2 full days there!
James Mwaura was always on time and even made some extra stops so that we could organize some more clothes for my gf as she had no luggage.
The trip planned from the Super Eagles was great although I think it could slightly be adjusted to safe time.
Again, a special thanks to James Mwaura and thanks for the great tour to the team of Super Eagles also specially Chanson Kimani who organized the whole tour and helped so much upfront to the tour.
100% recommend, most of the trip was a 10/10 experience!

Very capable driver in bad weather.
We had a great drive from Kruger to Johannesburg. It rained heavily along the way, but that was no problem for our driver, Joseph.

An Unforgettable 4-Day Safari with Suricata Safari!
We just returned from a 4-day safari, and it was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized - from the moment we landed and were met by the transfer, right up until we boarded our flight home.
Throughout the entire tour, we were excellently fed delicious meals freshly prepared especially for our group.
The safari route was simply outstanding. We had the best guide Ecky: thanks to him we saw so many animals. Along the whole route he was attentive, caring and friendly, and he shared so much interesting information about the wildlife.
I wholeheartedly recommend Suricata Safari and guide Ecky!

Customer focused professionals
From the very first moment I made contact with Shanjoy and in particular the impressive Rodah right up until we said goodbye I have been incredibly impressed with their customer focused organisation and delivery . Nothing was too much trouble, making changes to itineraries and changes to travel dates was done swiftly and professionally.
We spent a total of 12 nights in Kenya and Tanzania.
For our Kenya leg our guide was Patrick 2. Patrick was amazing. He knew the Masai Mara so well and knew exactly where and when to take us to see the best things. His knowledge of all animal species and bird species was very impressive. We were particularly impressed by how he interacted with our 10-year-old, No question was left unanswered and everything that was on our wish list was exceeded many times over.
All of the big 5 checked off and a lion hunt leading to a kill within 90 minutes of arrival !
Our guide in the Serengeti was Haji. Once again, Haji was really good. He managed to find five different leopard sightings within 24 hours which even amazed him. Our accommodation in the Serengeti was Tukaone Hembe. This was absolutely amazing the standard of the tents, the food and the staff were all first class. We had Zebras and Wildebeest close by, Hyenas making their way through the camp to a nearby kill and a male lion within a close proximity..
We decided to transfer by light aircraft from Nairobi into the Masai and then once again from the Masai into the Serengeti. This proved to be in our case the right decision and avoided long bumpy road transfers so that within a relatively short period of time we could get back on Safari.
We finished our adventure with four nights at the Waterlovers Beach resort in Diani Beach. Again this accommodation was outstanding and we couldn’t fault it in any way.
All in all Shanjoy has produced a five star itinerary which it followed through impressively right up until the very finish. I would not hesitate in recommending them and travelling with them again. .

Best Vacation!!
Brave Africa Safaris was the best vacation for my family and me because we wanted to experience wildlife without the stress and pressure of our everyday lives. With Brave, we experienced a life without any noise except wild animals communicating to one another and the wind howling.
Our very expert tour guide, Wina, took us on an incredible adventure that we couldn't have imagined. At first, I thought the experience was just like the wildlife safari I went on in Indonesia. No! Every day with Wina was like being with an expert who constantly sought out and understood the interactions between the animals. His broad knowledge about the animals, the wildlife, the environment, the animal behavior, the footprints, the smells, his sharp eyesight, and his ability to maneuver the vehicle allowed us to go on a wild chase after a kill.
This gave us the adrenaline experience of a lifetime. We witnessed a standoff between 7 lions and thousands of Cape Buffalo. We were there for the chase when the pride went after one buffalo among the herd. Wina’s quick action, combined with his driving experience through the Mopane forest, had us capture the moment of the attempted kill. Unfortunately, the cape buffalo got away, but my heart was pumping fast, and adrenaline filled my whole mind and body with excitement that created an incredible feeling that I couldn’t experience anywhere else in the world.
The service at Brave was exceptional! The staff were extremely friendly and very funny. The food was very good, and the experience of living in luxury tents made us more comfortable with the whole experience.
Thank you so much to Brave Africa Safaris. You gave us an incredible and unforgettable experience on our dream vacation!

Amazing tour, would do it again!
The operator is really fast in answering questions and providing information. We did the 3 day and 2 nights Masai Mara. The jeep was a good size, we were 7 people in the car but it was very spacious. We chose the mid budget accommodation and it was truly so nice! Clean rooms, nice showers, really good food. All meals are included. My friend is a vegetarian and she also enjoyed the food very much. But mostly our tour guide Joseph was truly amazing! He really took care of us, knew so much about the animals, we saw all big five and were able to ask him to stop longer if we wanted to. Very funny and good music taste as well ☺️ The optional masai Mara village is also highly recommended!! Very cool to see and they were also very funny.
This whole tour was our best memory from Kenya and I would recommend Jocky Tours to everyone! If you get the chance ask for Joseph as your tour guide! He made it 11/10

Very reliable operator
We've booked the Chobe day trip as well as several transfers with them (from Livingstone Airport to our hotel in Livingstone, from our hotel in Livingstone to our hotel in Victoria Falls, crossing the Zambia-Zimbabwe border, and from our hotel in Victoria Falls to Victoria Falls Airport).
Macdonald Diki was really nice and arranged everything for us. We had 4 different drivers during our time with Rockfowl, and everyone was friendly and kind.
Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about them. Everything went very smoothly.
