Incredible Safari Experiance
Cross to Safari organized a fabulous 13 day safari for us. It was a private tour for 3 women. The choice of lodging chosen by Anthony was fabulous. Our two guides were awesome, knowledgeable, and patient. The food at each camp, including the mobile migration camp was 5-star!

Amazing experience with our main man Wilson!
We did a safari with Soul of Tanzania for our honeymoon and it was incredible!!
Booking - we booked through Soul of Tanzania and were looked after my Marta. Marta was amazing and helped shaped our experience and itinerary based on our budgets and needs. Thank you Marta for being so patient and creating and excellent experience.
Guide and safari - we were blessed with having Wilson as our guide and he was literally the highlight of our trip!! Wilson made us feel like family as soon as we got off the plane and I really feel like part of his extended family. He is not only Knowledgeable in wildlife and where to find animals but also Tanzania and East Africa history and culture. We spent most lunches questioning him and he was more than happy to explain the importance and significance of where we were. Wilson is a kind, hospitable and engaging host who I cannot recommended enough to anyone looking to book a safari. He has an Amazing eye for wildlife and spotted animals from miles off! Wilson has greay communition skills and we always knew what would happened and when. He let us know when bathroom breaks woule be and when we would eat. He was totally flexible and changed the agenda according to our neesa. We feel so thankful to have had such an amazing, Knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide during our tour. Wilson we cannot thank you enough for a brilliant stay, we look forward to meeting again in the future.
Food - the food was fantastic during our trip. We were wined and dined throughout our trip with the most amazing views. As a vegetarian I was a little worried but I was well and truly full after every meal.
Accommodation - I must thank Marta for helping us to choose these but we were BLOWN away with every place we stayed.
Value for money - I couldn't recommend Soul of Tanzania enough, they really came through and helped us create an amazing experience based on our budget. On top of that, our guide Wilson truly made it a magical experience and the wildlife we saw was unbelievable!
A huge thank you to Soul of Tanzania and especially Wilson for an unforgettable experience!

Really well organized !
We heard about this tour with another Belgian tourist who did it 4 years ago and recommended it to us. He gave us the contact of William and everything was super well organized. They came to take us on time. The price is also super competitive compared to other tours. We arrived at Mokoro River after 1h30. The tour was really nice. We even saw a dozen of hippos at 20 meters from us. It was amazing. We definitely recommend this tour guide for your trip ! :)

Absolutely fantastic tour operator, the service was amazing and our guide Wilson wonderful
Everything we had organised via Soul of Tanzania was amazing. Marta was fantastic in organising prior to our arrival, we made lots of changes and special requests as this was our honeymoon, and nothing was too much of an ask.
Our guide Wilson, where can I start! They call it the big 5, I think it should be the big 6. He is an exceptional guide, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating, warm and welcoming, he is a rare find and for anyone who wants a relaxed but fun & knowledgeable tour guide. 100% ask for Wilson.
I would 100% recommend Soul of Tanzania and Wilson to anyone doing Safari in Tanzania.
Incredible tour!
Our safari experience was absolutely perfect! Max was the best tour guide we could have hoped for, keeping us safe through the bumpy roads and tailoring all the activities to our exact needs. The vehicles from Brilliant are by far the best we saw throughout our time in the national parks, very luxury with the ability to open doors and windows fully to feel at one with nature. We had the best time visiting all the major national parks, it was the experience of a lifetime thanks to Max and Brilliant!

FANTASTIC
I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Jocky Tours! Coming from Australia, this was my first solo international trip. I was quite nervous but honestly I made the best decision by booking them! They were kind and very hospitable.
Before the trip, I sent countless of emails with various questions and I found that the Jockytours team responded very quickly and very professionally compared to other companies which is why I picked them.
When I landed in Kenya, I was picked up from my airbnb and taken to the Jocky tours office where I met the other travellers and our safari tour guide Kikitu. Everyone was so nice and kind which settled my nerves!
The trip was fantastic and value for money. What makes a good safari are the people you go on the safari with and having a good and knowledgeable driver. It felt like a family for the 3days. Kikitu our driver went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable. We saw 4 of the big 5 which was amazing.
I requested to stay at Empayian Luxury Camp while joining a shared vehicle when I tell you it was 'princess treatment' all around, I mean it. I really enjoyed my trip and have so many memories. I felt safe as a young female and would highly recommend you book with Jocky tours. I would also recommend you ask for Kikitu as he is very knowledgeable and goes above and beyond!
This was an amazing trip and I definitely see myself coming back again soon!

Friendly, helpful and professional service
great care from pick up to drop off at the airport. The guide (James) with a great sense of humor and intuition led us so that we saw the so-called the big five and lots of other animals. His knowledge is impressive. .sunrises on the Serengeti and Ngorongoro provided amazing experiences. Musa, the chef assigned by the company, effectively made sure that the culinary experience was not worse than the aesthetic one... Amazing...

An amazing experience
Big thanks to Tarakwai for organizing a great trip I will never forget. The walking safari in the wild, seeing the animals without a shield of a car was priceless! The local guide Ahmidiwe shared his valuable knowledge about the animals, the plants and the symbiotic relationship. The trip was well organized and the connection with and support to the local community was something I appreciated. I can highly recommend Tarakwai Safaris.

Amazing! Highly recommend!

We did a 5 days, 4 nights safari to the Masai Mara and we highly recommend this Dream Africa Tours. The safari itself was just amazing. We saw all the big 5 and many more wonderful animals.
Our guide, Antony, was great. Antony always had a good attitude, arrived on time and is a very good driver (including on off-roads trips). Antony was also very respectful to the animals and obeyed to the strict rules of the Mara Conservancy.
The company was also very flexible and responsive. Our original international flight was canceled, so we missed our domestic flight to the Masai Mara. The company quickly and seamlessly arranged for us a perfect alternative flight (with no extra charge) and made sure we make it to the flight. This really saved our day.
As many other reviewers wrote, the visit to the Maasai village was super-touristic, but that’s not the fault of the company.
We stayed at the Losokwan Luxury Camp, which is perfectly located just in the middle of the Mara north. We stayed there 4 nights and in every game-drive we saw something different (so I suggest staying at least 3 nights there, and potentially even longer, time permitting).
Overall, there are so many tour operators and it’s hard to choose one company. After spending hours on reading reviews, we chose Dream Africa Tours and we had high expectations. They exceeded all the expectations (and for a reasonable price compared to other operators).
