Gorilla Trek 3 days
I went with Katsam adventures for 3 days tour - Gorilla Trekking.
I have to say that I was very happy for choosing this agency.
My accommodation was superb, and transport to and back from gorillas went smoothly.
I have to especially mention Samuel, who was my driver/guide. He was very friendly and polite (we spend 2 days in the vehicle together). He was also very knowledgeable about the Ugandan way of life, culture, traditions, etc. So on the way to gorillas, I learned a lot! He is an excellent driver and an interesting person.
Of course, the gorilla experience in itself is magical.
Would highly recommend Katsam Adventures!

Once-in-a-lifetime experience with Jackson
Jackson accompanied our family of five for 6-day safari, and also arranged our Kilimanjaro mountain climb. We are so grateful to have worked with Jackson! The safari was truly amazing, and Jackson is a pro, a top-notch and experienced guide who optimized the whole thing. He knows the parks, the animals, the back roads, and apparently all of the people and guides who work around the parks! Jackson's knowledge and friendly nature made our experience complete and inspiring. Furthermore, Jackson's meticulous organization of all the activities made our Tanzania visit a magical time free of stress. We highly, and without any reservation, recommend TZ Juvenile safari.

Christmas was exceptional with Karumuna Safaris
We spent our Christmas in the untouched Kidepo National Park.
Me and my family members enjoyed the ostriches, cheetahs, and more wildlife species.
It was an exceptional experience.

Great trip if you want to see the big 5 - especially recommend 4 day safari including Tarangire.
Great trip. Especially recommend the 4 day safari. In this safari you will see Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. All three of them are completely different. Tarangire will show you the baobab trees, large herds of elephants, and a large variety of other animals. We especially loved the Serengeti, where we were able to see a jaguar and cheetah from super close! Ngorongoro is a must, where you see a super high concentration of wildlife and you have a good chance of seeing rhino's. Our guide Elias was the best, being knowledgeable about all the animals, able to spot animals very easily, friendly, willing to answer all your questions, and high on pace! Tito made the best, diverse food, also including pizza and fries in some meals. We liked everything of this trip, highly recommended.

Patient and passionate about his job
Communications always clear. Andrew has always been willing to explain the context and to suit our needs.
The price we payed is worth both the experience and the service provided.
Andrew has always been reliable and precise with the timetable.
Overall, the tour has been a wonderful experience.

Amazing safari trip
We had a wonderful time with Explorer Kenya. We stayed at Masai Mara for 3 days / 2 nights. Our guide Jonathan has more than 2 decades of experience. He knows the entire area and showed us lots of different animals, including lions, giraffes and hippos.
In one morning drive, we were lucky and saw a rare encounter of three male lions and a lioness who have taken down a hippo, and were taking turns to eat. It’s a National Geographic documentary in real life!

Very nice, kind and patient, always ready to give infos about parks and animals.
This 6-day safari was fantastic. Andrew, the tour operator, was very nice and friendly, was always ready to answer our questions, and he put a lot of effort to find the perfect spots to see the animals (also great choice of music!).
Everything was as described in the program they gave us before we left and the accommodations were even better than expected. Also, there was a small problem with the rooms the last day and Andrew made sure to fix it!
I would definitely recommend this tour, and the tour operator, it is 100% worth it, but obviously some luck with the animals is needed!
One important tip: be sure to bring warm clothes with you because the temperature may be very low in the early morning and at night!

Excellent private Safari : Maasai Mara - Nakuru - Amboseli
We did a private safari with a group of 6 friends for 6 days. It was amazing!!!
Our driver, Andrew, was perfect. Andrew was a good driver since he drove well and cautiously, and knew the Parks thoroughly, its shortcuts and the places to avoid. In addition, he answered to all our questions.
In detail, early in the morning, as schedule Andrew took us from Nairobi to go to Maasai Mara. We arrived at the Lenchada Tent Camp in the early afternoon where we had lunch. After that we had an amazing game drive inside the park till the sunset. We were lucky because we saw 3 of the 5 big five (buffalos, elephants and a leopard). Dinner in the Camp and bonfire with some Maasai.
Next day, a full day game drive inside the park where we saw lions and we went close to the border with Tanzania where we had a walk and pick-nick. Once back, Andrew suggested us to go to the Maasai village nearby. It was quite interesting and a unique experience.
The day after, we left to Nakuru. But fist, as recommended by Andrew we stoped at Naivasha Lake where we had a boat safari and a walk through animals (zebras, giraffes....). It was so cool!!!
After that, the following morning we had a nice game driving in Nakuru where there were lot of rhinos! It was so nice. Then straight to Amboseli. Once in the lodge, we had a problem with the rooms but Andrew solved it and everything then was cool. We were lucky because we saw the Kilimangiaro despite having been almost cover by clouds. Andrew helped us to find lions, it was amazing!
In conclusion, the experience was excellent. We saw 3 parks and all the big 5. We stayed, first, in a tent, then in a hotel, finally in a lodge. As a consequence, we had a full experience. The 4x4 jeep was the best choice since we could go without any problem everywhere (of course, only in the dedicated streets inside the park ;)).
I would like to thank Andrew and Jocky Tours and Safaris for the Safari.
