Exceptional Support During a Health Emergency on Tanzanian Safari
I had an incredible experience with See Endless Adventures during my 11-day safari in Tanzania, covering popular destinations like Serengeti, Lake Manyara, and Ngorongoro Crater. However, after a week in Kenya and just starting our Tanzanian journey, I experienced a severe post-COVID complication, with my heart rate spiking to 180 bpm. Despite taking medication, my condition did not improve.
While my travel companions continued with the safari, I decided to rest at the lodge and later return home after consulting with my doctor. Our driver and guide, Simba, checked on me before departing and assured me that he would inform See Endless Adventures about my situation. I was grateful for his concern, but didn’t expect much beyond arranging transport to Kilimanjaro Airport.
Being alone in an unfamiliar lodge was unsettling, but the hotel staff was incredibly attentive, delivering meals to my room to avoid any strain on my condition. What truly stood out was the exceptional care from See Endless Adventures. Justin and Hamis continuously checked in on me, offering reassurance and discussing my plans. I had intended to visit Zanzibar next, but given my health, I decided to return to China directly. Hamis promptly arranged for my transport to the airport the following day and frequently inquired about my wellbeing, which was very comforting.
When choosing a travel agency on platforms like TripAdvisor, I initially focused on cost-effectiveness. After comparing options, I chose See Endless Adventures, and the trip was delightful. However, this health emergency highlighted the importance of having a reliable agency. Despite the sudden changes to my itinerary, extended stay at the hotel, and airport transfers, there were no additional charges beyond the flight change fee. The next morning, the driver picked me up, and in Arusha, I briefly met Hamis and Justin before heading to Kilimanjaro Airport to fly back to China.

Great experience
The tour was well organized and the communication was perfect. The price was totally fine for what we got, it was a full day experience with nice lunch, a great tour guide and a very high chance of seeing plenty animals.

A GOOD BUDGET SAFARI
We did a 3 day safari. You get to see cats only if you have 1 full day of safari. We did manage to see most animals.
When we reached Nairobi we got caught to the protests and could not reach our hotel in downtown. Benson helped us to find another hotel in a safer area so we could go to the airport next day
All in all a good budget safari. Food at the camp was basic but tasty.
Good accommodation.
Sometimes lot of waiting around so others can join the group. All in all good experience. After all its Africa.

Exceptional tour agency!
We are so excited in our trip in Ethiopia and Mr.Gashaw makes our trip best and unforgettable. He is an experienced tour operator and he drove with a new model van and invited us lunch in Addis Ababa during our last day. Thank you Gashaw!

Everyone who helped us make plans was extremely kind and understanding to all our wishes
Everywhere we went the people were very hospitable and understanding and as we are Indians and wanted a little bit of our own comfort food all the hotels we went to catered to our requirements and executed it perfectly. Our safari drivers took us wherever we wanted and made sure we saw all the animals we wanted to. Overall I would definitely book premium safari’s because they satiate all your wants and needs.

Fantastic on short notice
I received an email from a different safari provider 3 days before my safari started saying they had to cancel everything. It was also our wedding day. We were stressed. I reached out to Estleon Adventures via Safaribookings and they had everything sorted for a new safari within 3 hours. We had our own private guide and driver, Ben, who did a fantastic job. He picked us up directly from the Nairobi airport and away we went. Ben knew the roads and parks like the back of his hand. He always put our wants first and knew exactly where to find the animals. The accommodations we ended up in were incredible. I was shocked they were able to get a in on such short notice. I would highly recommend Estleon for anyone looking for a luxury safari in Kenya!
If I had to change anything about the trip, I would have skipped the boat and walking tour at lake Naivasha and done an extra night at The Cliff in Lake Nokuru National Park. It would have made for a longer drive, but The Cliff was a highlight for sure.

Safari + Kilimanjaro Sep. 2023 - IT WAS PERFECT!
From the beginning everything went well, we talked to Arustus before the trip and met him at the airport as soon as we got there.
Beside a minor change of the start date for the climb (eventually we started one day earlier than planned) everything went like clockwork! The hotels and lodges were very nice and have the value for money we expected for and beyond! Our guides were superb, helped us in everything we needed and became real friends, whom I remain in contact with until today! This goes for both the Kilimanjaro experience and for the safari tour. I recommend this type operator!
P.s. When saying 'we' I mean two male 25 years old travellers.

Could not have asked for a better Safari experience!!!
After a lot of research we finally decided to have our Safari experience with Jockey Tours, and I must say we enjoyed every bit of it. Our guide cum driver John (Papas as he told his nickname to be) made an extra effort to make this experience even more joyful. He was proactive and had information about a lot which added to our Safari experience. Few of the videos we could capture and attached for reference will show his enthusiasm.
We only communicated with Jockey tours through emails but they took care of everything from keeping us hydrated to making the trip a memorable one for us. The accomodation provided by them were all great and they really managed us well at Mara where they upgraded us to SOPA lodge when two rooms were not available for us at our pre booked lodge.
All in all it was great travelling with Jockey tours..
P.S.: This is especially for people reading the reviews try booking in either one of the lodges’ within the Park or one of the SOPA properties. And for the shopping freaks though the bargaining can be taxing buying from the locals is better than from anywhere…
