Our guide Benson was awesome, professional knowledgeable and very kind.
I gained so much insight into the local Chaggah tribe's customs and traditions. The hikes were both engaging and enjoyable, offering fresh air and breathtaking views. I had the chance to visit a coffee farm, where the food was delicious and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the coffee-making process. I also spent some relaxing time swimming at Chemka Hot Springs. To top it all off, I had the opportunity to witness the stunning peak view of Mount Kilimanjaro. I highly recommend African Galago Safaris.

The Perfect Motorcycle Adventure – Unforgettable from Start to Finish!
I have already taken part in several motorcycle tours with different organizers – all of them were great in their own way. However, the trip with Mr. Goodluck truly stood out. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and the routes were varied, full of curves, and absolutely stunning in terms of scenery.
The choice of accommodations and meals was excellent, and the tour guide impressed with both experience and passion, making sure everyone felt comfortable at all times. What I especially appreciated was the perfect balance between riding together as a group and having enough freedom for individual wishes and spontaneous stops.
The atmosphere within the group was fantastic, and thanks to the relaxed and professional style of the guide, it always felt enjoyable and easy-going. For me, this was the best motorcycle tour so far, and I am already looking forward to my next adventure with Goodluck.

Very well planned with a driver/guide Andrew whose knowledge of wildlife and the land.
Many hours in a bumpy jeep but fascinating explanations along the way.

5-Star Review! Our Expert Guide Made This 11-Day Kenya Trip Absolutely Amazing
The highlight of this 11-day Kenya trip—one that exceeded all our expectations—was our incredible guide, John! His eyesight was truly extraordinary: in the vast grasslands, he could spot small animals hidden in the bushes that we couldn’t even catch a glimpse of with our naked eyes. Whether it was a tiny warthog or antelopes in the distant trees, he never missed a single opportunity for us to observe them.
What made it even better was that after spotting each animal, he would proactively take over our animal guidebook, patiently flip to the corresponding page, and explain the species and their habits in detail. For us, who previously knew little about African wildlife, the entire trip felt like an engaging nature class, and we learned so much. He was also incredibly kind—when we encountered other vehicles stuck or lost in the national park, he would always stop to help. This act of kindness added extra warmth to our journey.
Other arrangements by the local operator were also worry-free: the safari vehicle was reliable throughout the trip. The recommended hotels had great locations and were clean and well-maintained. In particular, the buffet at the hotels offered an extensive variety of dishes, catering to different tastes, which made our meals very enjoyable.
The only minor downsides were some small regrets in the itinerary:
1. The Mount Kenya hike had to be canceled because re-entering Sweetwaters required an additional fee; and for the waterfall we planned to visit, we only got a distant view—we didn’t get to enter the park for a closer experience.
2. The lunch and dinner on the second-to-last day of the trip were not provided to us as stated in the itinerary (which says "All meals").
3. No guide was available to accompany and introduce us on Crescent Island in Naivasha. The driver did not follow us onto the island, and the staff on the island said there were no guides left.
4. The promise to have Henry as the guide was not fulfilled at all. The guide was changed without permission on the day of airport pick-up, and no explanation was given.
5. On three separate occasions when we entered a reserve or national park, we were required to pay in advance with credit cards. After that, the guide would return the money to us in cash, but this process still wasted a lot of time.
However, these small regrets didn’t affect our overall satisfaction with the trip at all. After all, the core wildlife experience was wonderful enough, and the guide’s professionalism and thoughtfulness made the entire journey truly shining.
We’ve already recommended this local operator and our guide to friends who plan to visit Kenya. If we ever go to Africa again, we’ll definitely choose them!

Raymond with Jocky Tours (7 Day Masai Mara/Nakuru/Naivasha/Amboseli Tour) was absolutely amazing!
I did the 7 Day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli Budget Tour with Jocky Tours and Raymond as our guide. This was the first safari I have done, and it was absolutely the most amazing trip of my life. Jocky Tours responded so quickly every time I emailed before the trip and provided detailed responses. Communication was great. Raymond was also amazing with communication, always providing detailed answers to our questions and helping us to get the most out of our experience here in Kenya. The value for our money was unbelievable. As a budget tour, we knew we wouldn’t stay in luxury villas, but the lodging was still very clean, welcoming, and comfortable! We were very pleasantly surprised. The indigenous people in the villages were so kind and welcoming, I definitely recommend taking the time to go into the native villages if given the opportunity.
Raymond was reliable, timely, considerate, - absolutely amazing. I always felt safe with Raymond (especially appreciate this as a woman) and his driving was excellent. Thank you Jocky Tours and a huge thank you to Raymond for making this such a truly special experience.

Excellent team and safari guide provided us with an amazing safari trip.
Our experience with Lappet Faced Safaris has been great ever since we first reached out to them. The team was very responsive and attentive to our needs of tailoring a personalized safari trip. They made great suggestions on each and every details, and finalized the trip itinerary based on our preferences. Also, they have been very transparent regarding the itemized pricing and booking process. Since day 1 of landing at Kilimanjaro Airport, their team members have taken care of us for transport and accommodation. However, what we were most impressed with was the service and experience of our safari guide, Noel. Not only was Noel a friendly and lovely person, he was also experienced and knowledgeable with East African biome and wildlife. He is an excellent driver, an amazing animal spotter, and overall a fantastic guide. He asked us what we were hoping to see the most on the trip, and was paying extra attention the whole trip to help us see what we wanted to see. We ended up seeing lots of wild animals, live animal actions and great landscapes in the savanna. Amazing lifetime experience! We are glad that we book with Lappet Faced Safaris.

Raymond with Jockey Tours was the most incredible experience!
I had an incredible experience traveling with Jockey Tours. Our guide was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and talented. He was able to get us very close to sooo many animals! We went during the busy season and saw lions, elephants, cheetahs, zebras, and giraffes, and more very up close. We saw all of the big 5, and were lucky enough to see the Great Migration. I felt very safe and taken care of on this safari, and had a great experience traveling with friends and meeting new people. I especially enjoyed the parks that allowed walking, and the boat ride in Naivasha. It was an incredible experience of both culture and wildlife.

Unforgetable 5 Day Private Safari with family in Tanzania’s parks
We had an incredible 5-day safari through the Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro parks. Everything was very well organized, with comfortable accommodations. But what definitely made the difference was our guide, Charles! He demonstrated perseverance and experience on the region's difficult roads, always attentive and caring to us and our children. He knew the parks like the back of his hand and did everything he could to ensure we saw all the animals we wanted!
Charles definitely made a difference on our trip!
Thanks Suricata ! Be proud of having Charles in your team!
