Excellent communication , super knowledgeable guides and very friendly
We started planning our Kenya Safari trip few months back and we came across Bush Top Safaris through the Internet,I got in touch with Dennis and he was great!
I got a Prompt & Timely Response from him every time.He was of great help throughout the planning of the trip.
We were 3 families,a group 11 including kids.
From the time we landed at the airport,we were very well taken care of.
Dennis introduced us to our guides,James & Frank.
They were amazing through out the whole trip,they have great knowledge about the wildlife,both very good drivers,good Communication,very cordial and flexible and Most importantly great at spotting the animals.
We stayed at Amboseli & Tsavo
The stay and food at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge was very good.
Ashnil Aruba Lodge in Tsavo was also good,but the food could have been a little better
The highlight of the whole trip was of course all the wildlife we spotted,it was so exciting for us to see all those animals,in such big numbers in their natural habitat.
James and Frank went the extra mile to spot the animals.
We spotted alot more than we had expected.
To see the Pride of Lions at such close proximity.
Herds of Elephants, Giraffe,Zebra,Impala,Gazelle, Flamingos,Hyena etc etc etc and the Biggest highlight was to spot the Leopard with a cub.
On the whole we had a wonderful experience with Bush Top Safaris.
We will surely recommend them to Everyone who plan to visit Kenya.
Thankyou again

Kruger safari tour
Our Safari tour with Kalanga was overall an excellent experience. Like any 4-5 day tour some aspects didn’t go quite as planned but the staff at Kalanga were very quick to respond. They tailored the tour slightly to suit our needs and accommodated us when we made special requests. The tour guide spoke with excellent English and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend them.

One of the best.
I recently went on a trip with Hekima Tourist Company and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and they went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the trip was enjoyable and hassle-free.
The itinerary was well-planned and allowed us to see all the major sights in the area without feeling rushed. The accommodations were also top-notch, with comfortable and clean rooms that were conveniently located near all the attractions.
What really stood out to me was the attention to detail that the company put into every aspect of the trip. From the transportation to the food to the tour guides, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed to perfection.
I would highly recommend Hekima Tourist Company to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable travel experience. They truly exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to book another trip with them in the future!

We are exceptionally impressed with the coornation and hospitality of our tour guide + tour.
Our Tour guide Adeny was great and was able to spot animals with blank eyes whereas we were on binoculars! Spending meaningful time together and so much time in a small space (car) for several days still kept our opinion same, absolutely great!
I traveled with my two children age 9 and 14. The trip was intense in regard to distance but made worth every second!
Ensure you ask and plan for the free massage ride;)
Have fun.

A Most Amazing Safari!
The safari was excellent! Though a somewhat cool and occasionally rainy day, we were treated to a close up experience of an elephant herd (including a big bull pushing down a tree right next to us after briefly coming within 1 meter of the safari vehicle!) Our safari guide Buffalo Soldier was funny and witty but extremely knowledgeable on the park and flora and fauna. Though we only encountered 2 of the big 5, we saw hippos, giraffes, antelope, numerous birds, the aforementioned elephants and a leopard! The transfer driver was also very pleasant and arrived on time. The booking experience was simple and communication was excellent in coordinating our pickup. All in all, I’m so glad we went with you guys and not in our own car as we had considered

Better than expected
For our first ever safari and it not being a long one, we had a great experience. Tumi was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable. We didn’t see all the Big 5 but we seen a lot of animals. Out favorite was the leopard walking down the street. If it’s your first ever safari, we highly recommend it. Fun for everyone.

Incredible Day at Pilanesberg
Our day at the safari was magical and one that we will remember for the rest of our lives!!!
We went on the full day safari in early May. Our driver picked us up a little before 6 am and we did the rounds to the other hotels to pick up the other folks. Our safari driver was Tumi and he was wonderful. He was informative and friendly, but also didn't talk the whole time, which gave us an opportunity to just enjoy the scenery.
We saw a lot of animals, some very up close and personal, including elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, impalas, and leopards. We even saw a leopard take down an impala - it was like National Geographic in real life!
A few items that may be helpful:
- It was pretty chilly at the first part of the day. I would bring plenty of layers, or even a blanket for your lap, especially when the driver starts going fast to catch a sighting reported by one of the other guides. A winter hat, ear muffs, or a scarf would have also been helpful.
- We sat in the back row of the truck and it ended up being an ideal spot for seeing the animals. All the seats are good, and it all depends on where the animals are, but we did spot many animals where others couldn't see them as well, and then our guide would adjust the truck so that everyone could see.
- We didn't have binoculars and we still saw plenty. If you have binoculars bring them, but we didn't feel deprived without them.
- A very specific tip: the road can get VERY bumpy. For my fellow busty ladies, plan your undergarments appropriately :)
- The lunch site did have some hungry guinea fowl and sweets loving bees. If anyone is allergic or scared of bees, stay away from the condiments tray and sodas. We were fine until the condiments came out and then the bees found us.
- The truck is roomy, so don't be afraid to pack what you think you may need, like layers, water, snacks, sunscreen.
- My husband and I went together, but commented that our 11 year old daughter may not have enjoyed it since there were quiet spells between animal sightings and a lot of sitting and driving. There were kids on some of the other trucks, but I would say trust your judgement of your kids' tolerance for sitting, waiting, and being quiet during animal viewing.
- We received a text the night before with a confirmed pick up time for our driver.
- With the early morning pick up, the drive out of town is an ideal moment for a nap. We needed dramamine to avoid car sickness, but in hindsight probably would have brought a travel pillow as well.
- At the lunch spot and at end of the day there were some vendors selling carvings and other goods. The ones at the end of the day did a hard sell, so don't approach unless you're ready for that. I got a really beautiful elephant carving to remember the day!

The best of the best
We had a wonderful experience at the Mara.We definitely made sight of the Big Five. I thank our able Driver Guide Mr. David who ensured we were served to our best. I would without hesitation recommend Jocky safaris to anyone who would wish to have a great time in the country's exciting destinations.

Amazing!
This trip was incredible. After 3 months traveling through Africa, nothing beats the sites of Namibia. Out of this world! First class service too. Unlike many transactional companies, this one truly cares you have a great experience. Highly recommend!
