Efficient and friendly
Before I booked my Masai Mara tour, I was in contact with four different tour operators in Kenya. Out of them, Jocky Tours were the fastest in their replies. This remained consistent throughout the communication period. Since it was my first time in Kenya, I had a lottt of questions, Jocky Tours were always patient and fast with their replies. That was the biggest green flag for me to book with them!
While on tour, I HAD A FANTASTIC TIME! We were incredibly lucky to see all the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino) aside from other wonderful sightings in ONE trip. Except for the rhino (for safety reasons), we were able to see the animals quite up close, which was super cool. This was largely due to our guide, John! He was determined that we saw what we came to see. He didn't follow other vehicles or crowds, and drove around to find the animals himself, gave us ample time to observe and take photos/videos of the animals, and asked us if we were happy before proceeding ahead. He had a friendly demeanor and would answer questions patiently. He loves what he does and that made our trip AMAZINGGGGG... Lake Nakuru was very peaceful. I was promised flamingos in the itinerary and I got flamingos! Along with pelicans and other wildlife in the park. The vehicle was also comfortable. So, an additional 5 stars for John! :)
Accomodation-wise, Lenchada Camp is pretty basic but you get an attached toilet and shower, which is spacious with running hot water. This was a pleasant surprise. You will wake up to various bird calls in the morning, which really pulls you into a Zen mode and it's a pretty place to be in. Buraha Zenoni at Nakuru was great!
This trip was my first solo trip and I am glad I chose to do it with Jocky Tours. It has given me a lifetime of memories and I hope to come back. Kenya will always have a special place in my heart.

Fantastic Experience
Simply fantastic. The team are excellent and did their very best to accommodate every request (even driving hundreds of km for us).
Special mention for Peter and Ken who were brilliant. We saw so many animals and had a brilliant time, that we will remember for life.
We highly recommend them and think the value for money was excellent too.

What an amazing day at Ngorongoro
On Friday evening, we decided to ask if it would be possible to do a day safari to Ngorongoro from Arusha on Saturdag. We met at Sable Square in the evening and so it was arranged. We were picked up at 5:00 AM the next morning and started with a lovely breakfast at Lake Manyara, where we picked up other people that were joining us on the safari.
After breakfast we left for Ngorongoro and WOW, what an amazing experience that was. We had a super friendly driver, who was very patient with us and answered all our question. We saw so many different animals.
Lunch was very good, we had to watch out for the black kites who were also very interested in our lunch :-)
Really enjoyed our day and this was an experience of a lifetime!
Hope to be back with you some time in the future.

The Go Touch Down team certainly know how to showcase South Africa.
The whole Touch Down team made our recent trip to South Africa so perfect.
Everything ran like clockwork, there were no hidden costs and the signature safari package proved to be great value for money.
When we booked the holiday at the Travel Show in London, the team assured us it would be the holiday of a lifetime and it certainly did not disappoint. We enjoyed every minute.

Very trustworthy safari company
My hubby and I reserved a seven-day safari in Kenya, and I have to tell that it was an amazing trip! Everything went smoothly, from the preparation stages to the trip's execution.
Silas was thoroughly involved in the planning process, responding to all of our inquiries and making insightful suggestions.
He gave us a cordial welcome at the airport upon our arrival in Kenya and introduced us to Stephen, our highly competent and well-organized guide. Following a lengthy trip, we arrived in Kenya without any issues and were promptly cleared at the airport.
After a few hours of travel, we arrived safely in Mara and were warmly greeted by the personnel at the lodge (Neptune) where we were to spend the next 3 days.
Silas carefully organized every one of our game drives, and we saw some amazing animals.
Everything, including the hotel arrangements, was expertly handled.
Without a doubt, we will use Safari Updates for our upcoming safaris.

Deo went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable and we could see all the animals
I had an amazing experience with "Trvl with Deo" in Tanzania. Deo went above and beyond to make our safari unforgettable. We were able to see all the animals we had hoped for, and his knowledge of the local wildlife and ecosystems truly enhanced the experience. I highly recommend "Trvl with Deo" for anyone looking for a top-notch safari adventure in Tanzania.

Perfekt Safari Tour
Hello to all Tanzania and Zanzibar tourists,
at the moment (21.10.23 to 06.11.23) we enjoy our stay in Africa.
A few months ago, we booked our Safari with Godfrey from Tecomate Tour. He organized the whole Safari fore us. Everything worked perfectly and he did a great job.
Our Tanzania Safari was already the full success and we enjoyed this wonderful time with our guide Gabriel.
Gabriel speaks fluent German and has an amazing knowledge about plants and wildlife in Tanzania. What we also liked was his enthusiasm for the work and the order and cleanliness during the whole tour.
Finally, we are very happy that we did not book with overpriced European travel agencies.
Best regards Gery & Lisa
