In one word, GREAT
We have just made a trip to Kenya (safari and a few days on the beach in Lamu) and the truth is that it has been great. From the first moment, I mean when we started planning the trip, until we were back home with all our suitcases, they have taken care that everything goes smoothly. Martin, our guide, who spoke perfect Spanish, has been responsible for making everything interesting and extremely pleasant for us, easily adapting to our particularities. I must say that we were traveling with two little girls and they also enjoyed the trip very much without any setbacks. A great professional and a great person. At the agency, Ngatia and Lilian have gone out of their way to prepare a trip for us in the best conditions. The hotels (tents in several cases), excellents. Anyway, I don't know what I could say other than that the trip has exceeded our expectations

Easy and informative before the journey - exciting and just breathtaking
we went on a 5 day safari with Thimo, coming from Arusha to Tarangire NP, Ndutu conservation area, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. From the first day on, we were overwhelmed by the friendliness of the staff in the lodges and camps. We felt very welcome everywhere and where treated like friends, you havent seen for some time. Thimo is a wonderful person, smart and funny, knowing every bush and lake and "feeling" the presence of wild animals. He managed to get us to places, where we would not see anything, but under his guidance learned to pay attention, to actually SEE. We got to see all of the big carnivors , including the so called BIG 5. Thimo has impressing knowledge about the wildlife, but also was sharing stories about the climate, the people and tribes in Tanzania, about the problems the people face by having to deal with climate change and droughts. We had just a great time, he never seemed to become tired from our non stopping questions.
Tanzania is wonderful, our tour was just like Tanzania Specialist described it beforehand, the lodges and camps were even more comfortable, than we had expected. We are very thankful for the professional support before the journey and the actual journey was just like we had wished, no it was even better. Thanks to Julia Lantschner and to Thimo. WE HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL DAYS!!!!!

UNFORGETTABLE 5 STAR SAFARI
We recently took a 7-day Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, and Okavango Delta safari honeymoon trip , and it was absolutely incredible! We cannot recommend this trip enough - it truly exceeded all of our expectations and left us with unforgettable memories.
William and his team were amazing - they were incredibly organized and ensured that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly. Our accommodations were fantastic - we stayed in beautiful lodges and campsites in the heart of the African wilderness. The staff were all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our trip special.
The highlights of the trip were the wildlife sightings - we saw elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and so much more! It was truly awe-inspiring to witness these majestic animals in their natural habitats. We also had the opportunity to go on safari drives, boat rides, and even a hot air balloon ride over the Okavango Delta - all of which were unforgettable experiences.
The scenery was also breathtaking - from the stunning waterfalls at Victoria Falls, to the lush greenery of the Okavango Delta, every day brought a new and beautiful landscape to explore.
Overall, we cannot recommend this trip enough. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, with amazing wildlife sightings, beautiful scenery, and top-notch accommodations and staff, this is the trip for you. 5 stars all around!

A day to remember! Absolutely amazing!
The most amazing trip, definitely one to remember! We were picked up from the hotel and flew from Zanzibar directly into Mikumi National Park. When we arrived, the jeeps were awaiting us and we set off! Our guide was so kind and enthusiastic, answering all questions we had! We saw zebras, lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, antelopes and many more animals, it was incredible and breathtaking. Definitely would recommend and would do it all over again! Such a surreal day. Thank you so much for everything!

Fantastic
Jockey Tours was very good value for the money. Accommodation and food were fine and they are very reliable. If you use them ask for Kikitu…he is a MASTER driver, excellent guide and has a great sense of humour. Enjoy! It’s a life changing trip.

Above and beyond! Five stars are not enough.
Not a bad word to say about these guys. Manager John was beyond helpful, not sure I've ever had dealings with anyone quite as helpful to be honest. Whilst booking replies to emails were prompt, helpful and patient. I arrived a 3 hours earlier at the Nairobi office than I'd booked for, but I was allowed to take the vehicle (a RAV4) for no extra cost, even though I was strictly speaking extending the rental to a new 24-hour period. Then he drove me out to an entrance slip of the expressway to save me the stress of driving in the city, and then met me at a pre-agreed location in the suburbs at the end of the rental to spare me having to try and find the office. The car had developed a transmission problem on the last day, but my deposit was returned in full without any issues. And then to round it all off, he wouldn't leave me until he'd personally found me, and negotiated a price for, a taxi to take me to the friend's house I was staying at that night. Will definitely be going straight to them next time I go to Kenya and would totally recommend anyone else to do likewise.

Excellent professional. Amazing and great tour!
Our experience with Andre from Impala Tours is more than excellent. We are so impressed with the tour that he organised for us that we definitely will go back. The price was very good considering that everything fulfilled our expectations. Andre was always taking care of us and we have learned a lot about the nature and the wild animals due all the explanations that he gave to us. We could say that if is not because of Andre perhaps we wouldn't see all the animals that we saw. We highly recommend to do this kind of tours with someone like Andre, someone who knows every detail of the places that we have visited.

Simply wonderful
Before we arrived Lion King communicated clearly, answered all our questions, and honored all our preferences! One of us had dietary restrictions and hot prepared lunches took that into consideration with more food then we could possibly eat.
Lion King set up an excellent tour for us. Airport transfers and Zanzibar rides were smooth with friendly drivers who pointed out sights and told us about the area. Lodgings were comfortable and as described. Staff members at the lodges were so friendly, returning a second day was truly like being welcomed home. The best part was the safari portion of the trip. We saw so many breathtaking sights and beautiful animals. We specifically asked for a female guide and Lion King delivered with our wonderful guide, Subira! Fluent in English and French, Subira is a professional! She’s been guiding trips for years and her experience reading the animals and navigating the winding roads showed why she is top-notch. We felt like celebrities as all the other guides know Subira (as one of the few female guides) and many stop to say hi! She made our trip fun and we learned a lot about the wildlife and Tanzania. We also got to meet owner, Anna on safari as she traveling also. I got the impression the Lion King truly cares about their clients! We’re fully satisfied with our trip and wish we could have stayed longer. Absolutely would recommend Subira, Lion King, and Tanzania to anyone!
