Adventures and authentic tour
We had a great time as family (age 30-64) and the organization was good. Simon answers all your questions upfront and during the trip. We booked our flights to Victoria falls and everything else was taken care of. You pay online upfront. Simon did the pick up by himself and also drove us to the Safari in Hwange. We had a lot of fun! We did a full day safari tour to see as much animals as we can see. At vic falls we booked some additional activities like a helicopter flight, which I can definitely recommend (but yes cost extra money). I would recommend to go during the dry season, as you see the vic fall’s diversity!
We felt very safe all the time with Simon or the tour guides he organized at the different locations. We made memories for our lifetime and would do it again.

Great destinations, a lot of waiting with little communication
The tour got us where we wanted to go, there were several times where we were asked to wait, tour guide disappeared for long periods of time without providing us information as to what we could do in this time (for example explore) accommodation had been changed and we only discovered this upon arrival at the accommodation. Despite booking a triple share tour this had not been prepared at each location. The vehicle itself left a fair bit to be desired and let us down. There were frustrations which we discussed with the tour guide as they arose. We seen what we set out to see so for that we are grateful. However I don’t believe we really got value for money given the time wasted and missed opportunities as a result. I wouldn’t be opposed to booking with Karumuna again however I would require clearer confirmation on what we should expect.

Best tour operator
I have gone to several safari but the experience from this one was exceptional.
I would say it’s because of the travel agency we booked with it is one of the best to work with.
Thank you to Alex our guide and judy our point of contact.

Unforgettable safari experience with Jeff - A true gem
O ur six-day safari exploring Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli was an absolute dream come true, and it wouldn’t have been the same without our incredible tour guide and driver, Jeff. We had the most unforgettable adventure.
Jeff’s knowledge of the wildlife, landscapes, and local culture was truly impressive. He effortlessly shared fascinating facts and stories about the animals we encountered, making every moment on the safari educational and engaging.
Not only was Jeff an exceptional guide and amazing driver but he also had an great ability to spot wildlife from a distance. It seemed like he had a sixth sense for finding the most elusive creatures, and we were fortunate enough to witness some truly remarkable sightings.
Jeff’s driving skills were equally commendable. Navigating through rugged terrains and challenging road conditions, he ensured our safety and comfort throughout the journey. His expertise behind the wheel allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes, without a single worry.
What truly set Jeff apart was his warm and friendly nature. We cannot express our gratitude enough for Jeff’s exceptional service and dedication. We finished our safari with a deep appreciation for its wildlife and culture, and it’s all thanks to Jeff.
The agency was great, they answered all our questions when we had them and they were very supportive in helping us designing the perfect trip. Everything we talked was fulfilled.
If you’re planning a safari adventure in Kenya, we wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Tours and requesting Jeff as your tour guide and driver. His expertise, will undoubtedly make your journey an unforgettable one. Thank you, Jeff and Jocky, for an extraordinary experience that will forever hold a special place in our hearts!

Will never forget this experience!
An amazing operator! Very complete and extremely competitive price-wise.
We did a 7 days safari on Kenya and were mesmerized with the beauty of it all! And the lodges were superb.
Esther was super nice and professional, helped us organizing and coordinating everything and Duncan our guide was a 10! Always there for us and accomodating to our needs. He is also super knowledgeable and an excellent animals tracker! And a very friendly person!
All in all, loved the experience!
Thanks Duncan and Esther!!

A Memorable Family Adventure
Our recent family game drive trip was a thrilling adventure filled with unforgettable moments in the heart of Maasai Mara. We were owed to spot a diverse array of wildlife in their natural habitats. From the elephants, giraffes and the big cats thanks to our tour guide. The luxurious tents provided a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration. Thank you Bluerange Connect for the seamless planning of our 3 day trip. We look forward to planning our next travel experience with you.

Perfect Safari!
I went on a 3 day safari to the Serengeti and Ngorogoro in November 2023, which was an incredible experience. In the book we spent the night in tents where you are constantly surrounded by animal noises, wonderful. The food was fantastic and we were well looked after. We were also able to take a trip to a Maasai village upon request, which was also a great experience.

Don’t choose Seven by far as your Kenya tour agency
This was an extremely disappointing service experience. Shocking, Unbelievable,infuriating and even desperate.
Seven by far is an untrustworthy, extremely unprofessional company that only good at avoiding responsibilities.Complete lack of credit and integrity. I strongly advise everyone to never choose seven by far as your agency to Kenya and Tanzania. They will ruin everything!
Imagine what kind of experience it is when you are in a completely strange environment, in a strange country, without any preparation,BUT can't reach your travel agent.We felt so helpless!They didn’t even pay the accomodation money to the hotel!We certainly had the ability to take the initiative to resolve some of the issues, and in fact we did, under duress, because if we didn't act, our entire vacation plans would go down the drain. But what about our pre-agreed contract? We gave an offer and you accepted it, and since you accepted it, it means that you should have the ability to arrange everything within the budget, right?No one forced you to accept it, we paid for it, but then you played the disappearing act and just left us four girls in a camp that was downgraded without any prior notice. Instead of being able to enjoy our vacation and have fun every day, we have to act as seven by far’s employees and solve THEIR business problems. May I ask if Seven by far will pay us a salary?
The truth is that there was already an sign of this during the pre-negotiation of the trip and budget, and after we paid the deposit, SEVEN BY FAR's attitude took a 180 degree turn, Mr.Sylvester blocked me on WhatsApp,just to intimidate us into thinking that they were going to run away with the money at any moment, what a ridiculously childish act! Unbelievable!
During our travels in Africa, seven by far repeatedly defaulted on payments to our partner companies, drivers, guides, and hotels, causing our trip to be irreparably affected. (FYI this is not the first time seven by far has done this.) There was even fake money involved, I am speechless.Not mention that they downgraded our accommodation many times without any prior notice.
When we finally met with the person in charge of seven by far, the lady promised us that she would compensate us, and then we also negotiated the amount of the payout on WhatsApp (although the amount could hardly make up for our loss), but after all this time we still haven't gotten the money, and Mr.Sylvester would only say over and over again that it's being processed, so please bear with them.
So one of us posted a bad review on safari booking and guess what?Mr.Sylvester quickly contacted us and said no more compensation. Haha! What a shameless and unrepentant businessman!
You are a shame of Kenya.
