Amazingly Helpful staff
Fantastic safari. My review here is more about the service before and after the actual safari. Peter and Max were incredibly kind and helpful, addressing a variety of needs. They really went the extra mile to make my experience the trip of a lifetime. Thank you, Pavillion Safaris. You guys are wonderful.

Thrilling
We just returned from an incredible 6-day safari with Lulu in Uganda and Rwanda, which mainly included a golden monkey trek, a gorilla trek, a chimpanzee trek, jeep and boat safaris, and a guided tour of Kigali (where our trip started and ended). The entire trip significantly exceeded our expectations – both in terms of the incredible wildlife and nature we encountered and the overall experience.
Our two drivers, Audence and Smith, were outstanding. (We switched drivers partway through due to a personal emergency, but Audence was equally excellent.) Both demonstrated genuine hospitality, deep knowledge of local culture and wildlife, flexibility, patience, and genuine warmth. They're also safety-conscious drivers completely focused on giving us the best possible experience. Both made us feel comfortable to ask them for anything we might have needed help with. Also noticed that both had good relationships with the rangers at the respective parks, which helped ensure our positive trek experience.
We spent most of the trip with Smith, including on the safaris, and he has an exceptional eye for spotting wildlife – even animals camouflaged perfectly in their surroundings. Beyond that, Smith made real-time adjustments to our itinerary based on weather and other conditions to maximise our chances of seeing the animals on our wish list. His attentiveness meant we didn't miss a thing. More anecdotally, things like playing music we like in the car or stopping on the way for us to take a look at animals Smith spotted while driving between locations made the drives very pleasant and comfortable.
We're genuinely grateful to both Smith and Audence for making this safari so unforgettable!

Excellent
Was everything you could want, saw everything, good accommodation and everyone was nice and helpful.
Great experience
Paul is an excellent guider and fantastic driver He is very smart and good at planning. He has a pair of eyes like Africa fishing eagle He is very skillful at safari game drive. Whenever it needs fast, he drives like a leopard, when it needs slower with a big bump and he is like an elephant, doing it very steady. He is very friendly with a sense of humor and a little bit a sense of mystery. We are very happy with Paul s work and personality.

3 days Safari - Amazing experience
We had an amazing three-day safari and were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five. Our guide, Melita, was excellent!! friendly, knowledgeable and always attentive. He explained everything clearly, drove extremely well and had an impressive knowledge of both the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Crater.
Both accommodations were excellent, especially the one in Seronera, which made the experience even more unforgettable.
We were extremely happy with the entire safari and especially with Melita. His professionalism, experience and dedication played a major role in making everything run smoothly and turning this into such a memorable experience.

5 days was perfect for Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro!
We had huge expectations for our safari, and we are so happy to say it did not disappoint! Because Rocky Africa met our every expectation. Our guide was superb and we can definitely recommend him. He was knowledgeable, easy to get along with, and manages the trip well to ensure we see everything we want to see. Definitely, next time we will book other trips also with Rocky Africa!
Your satisfaction is their purpose and delight
I think I must have been the most troublesome customer that Jocky Tours have had in a long time - I was certainly giving myself a pain in the neck - but the staff were brilliant in every respect. They were patient, efficient, helpful and creative in their problem solving. Maureen, my booking agent seemed to be always available, accommodating and good humoured. Francis, my tour guide, was a genius at managing time and, it seemed, animals. We could not have had better wildlife viewing. He was upbeat or laid back as required, and knowledgeable. At the end of the tour David was prompt to seamlessly accommodate my last problems. I cannot recommend Jocky Tours and their staff enough. Thank you everyone for a fabulous tour.

Professional and Knowlegeable
Summitting Kilimanjaro with ECO Africa Climbing was a fantastic experience. The guides (Raphael and Vincent) were experienced and knowledgeable. They gave us some options that allowed us to avoid backups at the Barranco Wall and to summit during the day; giving us time at the top with no other climbers around. The members of the support team/porters were great and completely helped with the experience. The whole team not only got us to the summit and back down but did it safely. As a 68 year old climber, the pole, pole pace provided by Vincent helped me make the summit - he assisted me immensely, both going up and coming down. I would definitely use them again. Can’t say enough good things about this team.
The safari was indescribable. So many animals and birds. Steve, our guide and driver, gave us so much information about what we were seeing. He would position us to gets some fantastic views and photos. Each day just got better and better. It was truly an awesome experience with ECO Africa.

Perfect expérience in Moremi
We went on a safari in Moremi with Bush Baby Calls, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Knowledge, was outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and passionate, making every game drive truly memorable.
The entire team took excellent care of us, and communication with MJ, the owner, was easy, friendly, and seamless throughout the planning process.
I can highly recommend Bush Baby Calls, and if you have the chance, ask for Knowledge as your guide—you won't be disappointed!

You can see from the vehicle configuration and driver/guide that this is a trustworthy company.
Rodger is an excellent tour guide! He picks us up at the hotel every day on time and prepares everything we need for the day. After the tour, he takes us back to the hotel and arranges everything before leaving. During the trip, he explains things in detail and provides patient service. He is a very dedicated person
