Excellent overall
We really enjoyed our Amboseli safari with Morningstar. And Joseph did the most amazing job preparing and communicating with us all the details. He is patient and caring. I hope anyone who books a safari gets to work with him.

Very good value for the money spent
My friend and I were searching for a reliable and professional safari company and didn't really know where to start first. Jocky Tours and Safaris had many good reviews that we felt like giving it a try and we definitely didn't get disappointed. The food was great (especially the vegetarian option), the accomodation clean and nice and our guide and driver Richard was very experienced and answered all kinds of questions of ours. He was also very punctual which made the trip much more enjoyable

Unforgettable experience in Tanzanian Safari with Bobby Tours
We spent an amazing and unforgettable time in Tanzania thanks to Bobby Tours. Kassim the manager was disponible to adapt our tour to our needs, and the planning was perfect: we saw a lot of things.
And our guide, Steven, was really nice and always motivate with positive energy. He knows everything about Tanzanian culture.
The lodges were beautiful, high quality and directly situated in the parcs, it was a perfect honey moon.
Thanks again!

Outstanding and memorable travel experience!
After a 3 year wait for the pandemic to pass, we finally found ourselves on our way to the trip of a lifetime. Celebrating the culmination of a 40 year working career, our South African safari was carefully curated by the experts at Kanyezi, with our individual interests and requirements considered. From the moment we landed in Capetown, to our final escort to the departing gate, every detail was executed perfectly. The guides, the accommodations, restaurants, the safari itself, were flawless. Throughout the experience, everyone was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this company and this travel experience.

It was a very great Safari and the organization was very good.
The Safari was very good and we saw so many animals. Both guides was very friendly and know everything about the animals. The Lodges were very nice and the view of the lodges was great.

Enjoyable trip to Uganda
Did a week trip with my partner to Uganda.
Visited Bwindi (Gorilla's) - stayed at Mahogany Springs Safari Lodge. The lodge was 10/10, food, service, view. Would love to go back.
During time in Bwindi we did the Batwa Culture Experience, really didn't know what do expect but was one of the highlights of the trip. The history is kind of sad but the people were amazing.
Gorilla trek - 10/10 no real need to explain.
Visited Kibale National Park. Started at Turaco Treetops, ideally would have stayed there longer, only one night which meant we missed out on spending more time with the birds and view. Food also excellent!
Finished at Murchison Falls National Park. Game drives was awesome, felt a lot more natural than in South Africa. River Cruise was spectacular, loads of birds and hippos, elephants etc. Stayed at Pakuba Safari Lodge, the lodge itself was the least modern of the three (although only one with air con), but the service was awesome. Food was mostly buffet but the standard of food was still very good. One thing I really enjoyed about Pakuba is all the guides eat dinner with the people they are hosting, there is something really nice about that.
Our guide was Muhumuza Christopher 'Chris'. His knowledge of Uganda history was excellent, his animal knowledge was also almost flawless (we did manage to spot one bird that neither he or we could identify and he spend 30 minutes looking through books, checking with fellow guides etc to make sure he gave us the right information), but probably his best skill was spotting animals. He spotted a lion in a tree that many other guides drove straight past and he could see small birds in trees miles away. If you are looking for someone who is an expert in guiding he is your guy.
Chris is also super passionate about Uganda which I really loved. There is nothing more special than someone that takes such pride in what their country has to offer.
Only a couple minor issues with the tour, they misbooked our return flight which meant we had to drive it. Not the biggest issue but a minor annoyance.
Secondly I think we could have done with a bit more guidance on the tour, we probably ended up travelling a bit more than we first thought, but also could have done with a bit more advice on where to go and the route to take. That being said I enjoyed every minute of it but some people might not want to sit in a car for so long.

Great safari experience
This group experience was close to perfection. Emanuel was a great host, always in contact, before and during the safari. The tour guide who was in charge of the safari, Jackson, is a very experienced guide and very interesting person providing an unexpected and surprising safari overall experience showing us the big five and some of the most beautiful scenarios we’ve ever seen. The food was good and we were accompanied also by our personal cooker, Miron, making some local food and a one of a kind pizza!
We stayed the overnights at site camps sleeping in tents 2 of the nights, but Emanuel can provide superior accommodation if required.
Will surely return in the future

Best ever solo experience
This was one of my best trips ever, and I have been travelling a lot! Everything worked to perfection: as a solo traveller, I was quite aprehensive about being left alone at pick-up places, of having a hard time with the culture etc. But, hey! Never felt better taken care of: everything quite timely; beautiful, comfortable and stylish lodges, very (very!!!!!!) nice staff, and little treats as surprises here and there.
Crater explorers staff and manager, ansante sana (thank you) for providing me with an unforgettable experience, and, Frank, you are simply the best guide!!! How come you know everything?

Trustworthy, professional and ready to take the exta mile to make the experience amanzing.
My husband and I embarked on an extraordinary honeymoon safari in Tanzania, visiting Tarangire National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti National Park, and Lake Manyara National Park. Our tour guide, Venance from African Big Cats Safari, made our experience truly unforgettable. With his expertise in Tanzanian wildlife and culture, every moment was filled with knowledge and wonder.
The timing of our trip was perfect, as we arrived at the end of the rainy season and enjoyed good weather throughout. In Tarangire National Park, we encountered elephants and adorable lion cubs, setting the stage for an incredible journey.
On day two, we were thrilled to witness the Big Five, including lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo, in both Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park. It was a captivating experience that left us in awe of nature's magnificence.
One of the highlights was the beginning of the Great Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti National Park. Thousands of wildebeest and zebras traversing the plains created an indescribable spectacle, symbolizing the eternal cycle of life.
Venance's passion for Tanzania, its wildlife, and culture was evident throughout the journey. His storytelling and expertise enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the surroundings.
In summary, our honeymoon safari in Tanzania surpassed all expectations. From the remarkable wildlife sightings to the exceptional guidance of Venance, every aspect was exceptional. For an unforgettable honeymoon experience that combines stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife encounters, and a deep connection with nature, a safari in Tanzania is a must.
