Amazing, it was an experienced I will remember for the rest of my life.
Rustic Safari were a dream choice for us. We were immediately charm by their enthusiasm to share and they took care of us in that safari that was more than we expected.
Thanks again to our guides.

Highly specialized and highly organized.
The trip was well arranged and organized from beginning to end. Upon arrival you receive an information folder with the safari schedule, a ticket for the flight to Zanzibar (if you booked a beach vacation there after the Safari) and a nice water bottle for each person. The lodges, tented camp and hotels were of very high quality. They came to the first lodge the day after we arrived and explained what was going to happen. We had a fantastic guide/driver he showed us everything we wanted to see and much more. Nothing was too much and he explained a lot about the animals and the country. I hope every tourist gets a guide like Dixon. The vacation was full board and we also got a very good lunch every day of the safari which we then ate with the guide in the most beautiful places. The drinks in the hotels were in a normal price range.
We had a top vacation that we will never forget in our lives. I recommend everyone to go to Tanzania with Tanzania Specialist.

Just Perfect
Besides the high progessionalism, Paul made us feel safe, he managed and organized the time very well so that we can trully enjoy this unique experience that safari is.
The guide that accompanied us together with Paul, Rahim is top driver during the game days. In the couple of days that we had game days he literally raced with us so that we can see the big 5, including the rhino which is the rarest.
Everything was at its best starting with accommodation, game days, Masai village. I strongly recommend Paul to all who wish to be part of a great adventure.
I look forward to seeing them soon in the next safari.

Majestic!
We are a group of 5 who booked via safari bookings website for a four day tour. Jockey tours was excellent in accommodating our needs, we changed the hotel pick up several times and that was not a problem (Hakuna Matata).
In short: Francis, our tour guide, is the BEST tour guide you can wish for! Extremely knowledgeable of all the different reserves, different animals and information about all the animals. He has worked as a tour guide for 13+ years and you can imagine the knowledge as his father was also a tour guide. Very well connected with other tour operators and reserve rangers and you will be able to see at least 30 different type of animals on any day!
Francis loves what he does and that spills out into positivity while on the tour! He has two rules: Be Positive and Be Patient :)
In length:
We were picked up at the hotel on the first day and we head to their office to pay for the tour. Then we head to Maasai Reserve. On the way, we stopped at the Great Rift viewpoint (unlucky for us there were clouds). Upon reaching the reserve, you have lunch, settle in your tents and then go for a Game Drive for a couple of nights before ending the day.
Next day is an early rise for a full day at the Maasai Reserve with a picnic in wild. We saw everything from elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, wild beasts, buffalos to cheetahs and lions. (Among many others)
You have the option to get a tour of Alligators and Hippos for a small charge of (200 shillings pp).
Third day you can elect either for a tour of the Maasai Village ($20 USD pp) which we went for or a hot air ballon tour. The Village was very interesting and worthwhile. You get a touch of how the Maasai live and their culture. The rest of the day is the drive to Nakuru.
Last day we had more Game Drives at Nakuru national park and saw Beautiful Rhinos and flamingos!
Highly recommend this experience and specifically request for Francis!

Best safari tour and experience ever
Lawrence, our tour operator, went above and beyond to ensure our happiness, providing thorough information, impeccable service, and a worry-free experience that exceeded our expectations.
Raymond, our guide, was a true gem—exemplifying politeness, a wealth of information, and seemingly possessing eagle eyes that effortlessly spotted wildlife from afar during our unforgettable 4-day safari across Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro, and Lake Manyara. The seamless airport transfers and varied accommodations each night further enriched our adventure, creating a journey filled with awe and comfort.
With Lawrence and Raymond at the helm, we wholeheartedly recommend this exceptional experience.

Great experience on safari in Masai Mara with Karibu Safaris in Kenya!
Karibu Safaris in Kenya with safari in Masai Mara was a great experience. The driver was informative and it was clear that he had a lot of experience in the profession. He really put an effort into finding the animals we wanted to see, and we got as close as possible to them. The tour operator seemed very professional.

Passionate
The communication with Jocky tours was excellent. They were responsive and helpful with accomodating our groups needs.
The first few days in the Mara were the highlight. I would say it really depends on your guide, and we had the best man for the job, Francis. He was passionate and well connected, knew where to find the animals.
We opted for the village tour which was great, learned a lot about the masai culture but then were pressured into buy dodgy and expensive souvenirs. There was also an option to buy other souvenirs which we did (at a decent price). The village people were very friendly and accomodating.
Lake Nakuru was great, we saw many rhinos. The accomodation was dissapointing because we were expecting a nicer resort for the night but last minute change.

Very knowledgeable, fun and professional
Our tour to Masai Mara Lenchada and tented camp and nakuru national park was a great experience. Our guide Francis was very knowledgeable and professional and allowed us to view a vast range of wild animals. Only one missed was the leopard! Only draw back was our planned hotel
Wasn’t available and required a last minute change to a lesser hotel. But good value overall

Best Tour Operator
We had a trip to Amboseli National park and Juancy tours and travels organized for us from where we were pick up and where we were dropped off at the hotel and the game drives which really amazed me most and the return day they ensured we were safe and sound
