Ozzie was vivacious and knowledgeable about all the animals
We were always comfortable and cared for. Meals were delicious and often even more than we needed, so don't worry about going hungry! Yusuph was an incredible bread baker, we had fresh bread daily.
Our tent was thick and well insulated for cold weather but could also be left breathable for the warm nights. Layers are still a necessity for camping in Ngorongoro though, it was very cold there and we are from Minnesota.
Our driver was very timely on pickup and dropoff at the airport, and both guides held positive attitudes throughout the entire trip. Ozzie often seemed just as excited and interested to see the animals as we were and knew many facts and behavioral characteristics about each one.

Even better than expected!!
We had a perfect time in Uganda with Speke!!
Our guide was so friendly and well organised from the pick up at the airport until the very end. We didn't need to worry about anything. He had a great knowledge about wildlife and nature and he always tried to make the best of every situation so that we could enjoy it as much as possible.
Also the car and the lodges were great, too.
We can definitly 100% recommend Speke Uganda Holidays!!

Couldn't be better!
A very professional and reliable company. Communication via e-mail was excellent. Jocky Tours planned a 7-day safari for us and all was perfect. Evans was an amazing, experienced driver and guide. His driving skills are excellent and responsible, which is a big bonus on some heavy traffic roads beetween Masai Mara and Amboseli. Evans was always friendly (and often laughing) and it seems he's friend to everybody in Kenya. With his 9 years of experience, we was often driving on routes in Masai Mara where we've seen no other tourists - and these often haven been the best spots for all kinds of wild animals. Jocky Tours and Evans: THANKS for this wonderful week I've spent with my daughter.

Great services from the office to the field
Hello Starpal
Thank you so much and sorry for delay to write this review and let you know how our safari was.Paul was always on top of everything particularly during these trying times when everything could change all over a sudden due to covid 19. The service provided by the office tean during planing was perfect and also guidance, the crafting of the itinerary, attention to detail, ability to deal with setbacks and changes...in short... was a true professional and excellent at their job!Last bit was for the guide who was also perfect with alot of informatiom about kenya.Since we were on budget the the hotel we were taken(at Mara Enkorok Mara and Ziwa Lodge Nakuru)were on top.The food was good and very good staff.I cant talk all of what we saw in our 4 days masai mara and nakuru safari.I Stgrongly recommend them, Our trip was the best ever in terms of comfort and organization.

Maasai Mara Safari of a Lifetime
I had a booking for a week in the Maasai Mara and this was actually a referral from a friend in Kenya. Ongeri Expeditions is a local Kenyan tour company which is loved by the Kenyan people. The communication before and during the Safari trip was very timely and professional. The itinerary was discussed and tailored to our needs which is what every traveler loves. The trip was worth every coin and although I didn't get to see the Wilderbeest do an actual river crossing I was able to see so many lions, Elephants, cheetahs in the wild. It was an amazing experience definitely ticked Maasai Mara off my bucketlist. The staff at the Camp we stayed in were amazing

Tour driver tried hard to find animals including Lion for us. Just wonderful
It was fun and I can not forget this experience in Kenya which we can not see same in Japan. It is valuable for paying the amount. The car was also secured from any accident .

Unforgettable Honeymoon
We just returned from a 5 day Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara Safari and it was incredible. Our driver Collin was amazing. He was knowledgeable, professional, and safe the entire time. On day one we set a goal of seeing the big 5 (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard, and Water Buffalo) and by day 3 we had already seen them all (not to mention 100+ other animals like Cheetahs, Hippos, Hyenas, Giraffes, Pythons, Servals, Jackals, and tons more). His keen eye for spotting animals and his knowledge of the routes within each park helped us tremendously. His enthusiasm was contagious and we couldn’t help getting just as excited every morning for the the adventures that laid ahead. Another great asset of Collin’s was his knowledge of photography which helped position us for the best pictures possible. He truly became a friend by the end of our trip and we will really miss him. We could not have asked for a better guide and when we come back we will most certainly request Collin again.
We chose the Luxury hotel package that included the Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, The Cliff Nakuru, and Entim Camp in Masai Mara. The lodges were all great, especially the views from the The Cliff at Lake Nakuru. Each camp greeted us with a warm welcome and the services remained top tier from check in to check out. All rooms were very well maintained and contained better amenities than what we expected while on a safari. We were probably the most surprised by the amazing food. It definitely felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant which just added to the already great experience. The alcohol at Entim camp was also all inclusive which was a nice touch.
We added a couple of upgrades. One being the Land Cruiser option which we would also highly recommend. The ride was smooth, windows large, and it had great off road capability. The other was the cultural experience where you get to meet a Masai Village. This was very fun with dancing and touring the village. We loved getting to see how the locals live just outside of the Masai Mara park entrance.
Mufasa’s front office services have been great. We appreciated the quick replies especially since booking a trip like this from another country in a different time zone during a pandemic can be very stressful. Their transparency while booking lodges was also much appreciated. We felt like we were in good hands and will definitely recommend them if you’re booking a Kenyan Safari. If you’re traveling during Covid, they can also assist you in getting tested for your flight home.
Our only regret is not booking an even longer safari.

Roaming Africa tours organised our beach holiday at the Amani Tiwi beach. It was the most well organised holiday I have ever experienced. They were at hand to help with any situation that arose while we holidayed. We also got to visit the shimba hills for a day trip . This company offers affordable hassle free holidays and we recommend it to all

Great Safari, a dream coming true
We did 1 day safari in the national park of Tarangire and it was absolutely wonderful ! You will stay the whole safari trip with your guid/driver. He was just perfect with us, we told him what kind of animals we prefer and he was looking to the right roads to find them and make us happy !
When he got the information that a couple of lions is appearing, without any hesitation he drove us to the place to see them (lions are rare in tarangire park).
You can easily see elephant, zebra, buffalos, monkeys.
Note that the park cant be visiter in 1 day, if you want to see more and visit more places of the park, you should fake more days.
The price was good depending to the time to go there and return home, and the experienced guide we were with.
The lunch is included and binoculars are furnished during the trip.
The guide can answer about your questions and wondering in cas of need.
About the communication, the guide was speaking english.
You will stay in the car during the whole trip but you can open the roof and see well the park, animals etc…
