Amazing and unforgettable trip!
What an amazing safari trip we have had! In June we celebrated our honeymoon in Kenya with a wonderful safari! Carlijn has been absolutely fantastic, she listened to our wishes and helped us to plan the best safari! Besides the very professional work and planning we felt also a nice personal approach by Carlijn and really enjoyed planning with her. The camps she recommended were amazing and we were welcomed warmly at every camp! Then our guide/driver Dennis, he shared so much knowledge with us! And he went above and beyond to get us a safari we never could have imagined! We would recommend Malika to everyone!

5 stars for African Big Safaris
There are millions of safaris tours in Arusha, so was difficult to select one form all options, but African Big Cats Safari were very communicative from the start and accommodate the tour to all our needs and our budget. We spent 4 days doing a tour through several national parks. Emmanuele came the first day to the hotel to brief us on the programme of the next few days and the following day, our guide, Ernest came to pick us up. Ernest spent 4 days with us. He was funny and very friendly and he was very keen to answer all our questions. His knowledge about wildlife was incredible. He was also very keen to show us as much wildlife as possible, making our tour incredible with a lot of sightseeing: elephants, lions, cheetah, hippos and even a leopard! our experience with African Big Cats Safari was simply incredible, and we would recommend it to anyone.

The best safari ever!
credible experience, better than expected! We were supposed to spend 3 nights in a tent, but travel Africa safari upgraded us to a wonderful lodge in Serengeti for free!
Our guide and driver, Aaron, was on another level. We were almost always among the first to arrive when animals were found (as communicated over radio) and he could see animals further than an eagle! At one point Aaron noticed a lion lying on a tree branch about 500 meters away. Another time he was the first to spot a black rhino (incredibly rare) in very tall grass with just a tiny part of the horn sticking out - we couldn’t see it with binoculars until it got up!
A special mention to our safari chef - Nathan Simba - for cooking Michelin star level plates using nothing but a gas burner and some coal. We even had delicious fresh bread every single day!
Highly recommended for anyone looking to get some unforgettable memories and a very smooth experience. Five stars.
Issaya Mogomo is a professor of biology, history, geology, and has eagle-vision to find the animals.
Many thanks to Victorious Vacations who gave us The Serengeti, Ngorongoro, lovely flamingos in Lake Natron, and more lions than I’d ever have imagined.
We started in bustling Arusha and followed the Masai walkers out to the bush to see giraffes and zebra galore. Issaya Mogomo has been a guide for years and he is brilliant with the geographic and political history of Tanzania besides knowing e v e r y animal and plant in the bush. Got a question? He has the answer and then supports it with photos and info from his dog-eared flora/fauna books.
I felt safe everywhere. I was taught to love Tanzania through Issaya’s eyes of respect and compassion. The Masai were delightful companions, and our camps were glamorous and delicious places to rest and wash off the dust.
I can’t recommend this company enough. I can’t recommend Issaya Mogomo enough.
You will be very happy that you chose Victorious Vacations.

Just book it!
I spent 2 weeks reaching out to and speaking with over a dozen safari providers. Romeo was by far the most responsive, honest and detailed. He welcomed us personally at Arusha airport and things went like a breeze from there on. Our driver cum guide Freddy as a bundle of energy and knowledge. We had many a long drive (some lasting up to 8 hours), but I never saw Freddy’s energy flag. We sighted 23 lions, saw a live kill just feet away from us and pretty much saw all the wildlife we wished to see (except cheetahs and rhinos!). The vehicle was clean and well stocked. There were absolutely no surprises in terms of extra charges or oversights. My strong advice is to avoid the other agencies (most are actually more expensive too) and go with Safari Multiways. You won’t regret it!

Trip of a Lifetime for a Lifetime Traveler
I cannot say enough about Esther, Isaack (our guide) and Estleon Adventures. Stop looking for the right Safari company, the search is over! If you enjoy the finer things in life or are interested in the most incredible accomodations, in the most incredible locations with the most incredible guide, booking this trip couldn't be easier.
Isaack (aka "Governor") was not only an incredible safari guide and driver, but a unique and genuine person that made this trip the best trip of my life. His skills and knowledge regarding the wildlife were unprecedented. We saw countless species (of course the big 5!) and he tailored the itinerary as we traveled from location to location, game drive to game drive. My wife and I also share his love of the birds and the variety of species he showed us and taught us was incredible! His sense of humor and outlook on life and Kenyan culture made every single day more memorable than the next. He also loved to surprise my wife and I multiple times over the trip and we were blown away! No spoilers though!
Typically I do not book inclusive resorts or set itineraries when I travel, as I like to set our own schedule but WOW, I would hand the reins over to Esther and Isaack over and over and over again. By the second day my wife and I had complete trust in Isaack and his expertise. We woke up every morning excited to see what the day would bring. I will remember every moment! Especially Maasai Mara! What an incredible place!
It was my first time in Africa. First time in Kenya. First time on Safari. I'm coming back. I'm booking through Estleon and requesting the Governor. I can't wait.

Amazing safaris and stays organized by Jocky Tours and very well executed by our guide Jimmy
We did a 2 nights Masai Mara and 1 night Lake Nakuru including daytrip to Lake Naivasha and Crescent Island. Had a great experience. Could see almost every possible animal including the Big Five, heyna, flamingos and rarest leopard too. Our driver-cum-guide, Jimmy was a young, enthusiastic guy with great knowledge about the jungle, and interacted with us very well over 4 days. He would try his best to look for sighting of every possible animals. He made great efforts to ensure we could sight the rare leopard from very close which many other groups doing safari on that day had missed.
Everything from hotel pick up till airport drop was very smooth and well organized. We got Naivasha and Crescent Island included in the package at the last moment in the last day, which they very easily accommodated and ensured we had a great time without compromising with other trips...
Best part about him and Jocky Tours was that they could customise the trips as per our wish even on the last minute request.
And thanks to Jocky Tours Safari for organizing the entire trip so nicely. Had spoken to many other travel agents for they trip, but chosen Jocky Tours and Safari due to their easily customisable package at the lowest price without compromising with the service. From vehicle to accommodation and food, everything was very well organised.
My heartiest thanks to Jimmy and Jocky Tours, and wish to do more safaris with them in future.

Superlative guide and company
I just wrote a previous review about Issaya’s expertise and now need to show some pictures. We spent two weeks in Tanzania then another in Zanzibar, and came away utterly enthralled with all things Tanzanian because of Issaya’s love for his country.
