This was an amazing tour. Stanley our driver was fantastic. The accomodation was wonderful and far better than we expected. Vicent was very communicative and helpful. Would love to do it again, thank you!

A once in a lifetime experience
We went for an 8 day safari trip and had a great time! We saw Tangiri with its Baoab trees and elephants (and of course, warthogs), and then went on to spent 3 days in the Serengeti in the Moyo tent lodge. This was fantastic, you can hear the hyenas calling at night. We saw large herd of zebras and wildebeest, elephants, lions, a cheetah and a leopard, buffalo, two jackals , bat-eared foxes, and all different types off antelopes. We could also see mongoose, and a variety of small birds and birds of prey.
KARIM was our guide, and he is just the BEST !! He made every effort to customise the trip to our needs and interests and was always attentive and friendly and gave us the time we needed to observe animal behaviours in their natural habitat. He is also very knowledgable and would answer all of our many many questions.
On the way back we went to the Ngorongoro Crater, a world in itself and completed the big five. We then went to the Lake Manyara and visited a Maasai village. This is very touristic, of course, but also an interesting visit.
Some recommendations for travellers are to check in good time beforehand with your agency on how to transfer the payments and to calculate in your budget that heavy tipping is customary.
All in all we would to this even twice in a lifetime and we are already dreaming of coming back for the wildebeest migration.

Open and friendly staff focused on a hassle free experience
We had a 10/10 experience with MVA. Our tour guide was very kind and open hearted and made sure to provide us with the best safari possible. It was a very laid back and personal atmosphere. The trip was completely stress free and all our needs were taken care of while we got to experience the amazing nature and animals of Tanzania. The accomodations were all great, especially the comfortable tents in the Serengeti.
So if you are looking for an excellent safari, with great value for money and without any unnecessary luxury, we really recommend this company!

Serengeti and ngorogoro
The most amazing experience ever. Would highly recommend, accomation and food was fantastic and a real experience.. Our guide Emmanuel was fantastic he led us to the location of all the big 5 animals and many more. We saw animals we never thought we would see. He was so friendly and knowledgeable on all the animals. Castor was brilliant also he organised everything for us and everything went so smooth. He was very responsive and any time I text him or emailed he would get back straight away. I would wholeheartedly say it was the most amazing three days ever.
Fantastic safari and brilliant value for money.
Eighteen of us booked an overnight safari for when we had two days in Mombasa on a cruise ship. From making the booking, we were kept up-to-date with all the info we could need and all the questions we had were answered promptly. Our jeeps were waiting for us when we disembarked from the ship and everything was organised professionally. Our driver was friendly and genuinely keen to show us as much wildlife as possible. He had a skill for being able to spot almost anything while driving and stopped whenever there was anything interesting to see. We managed to see lions, giraffes, elephants, a leopard in a tree and a hippo, as well as zebra, gazelle, ostrich, vultures, eagles and various other birds and grazing animals. The scenery was magnificent and the lodge at Voi was great - decent food, clean rooms and facilities and good service. We also visited a Maasai village and the two-hour drive from Mombasa was interesting in its own right. Reuben was with us the whole time to check we were happy with everything and was super friendly. I really can't find fault with anything and the price was excellent value for money. This was my first ever safari and it surpassed every expectation. A 10/10 recommendation.

Everything was perfect from the moment we enter the parks … We got to experience the different animals behaviour and our guide John ensured that we captured the best moments of these animals, zebras, wildbeast, lion, leapard … and most interesting is the lion. Thank you leisureway Adventures!

We got help from Ruben at moafrica from the start to the end. He really guided us in all of the different choices and selection of lodges. We ended up staying in Judy and bruces lodge called Ndzuti. It was absolutely perfect in every way. The closeness to the nature, the accomodation itself and the service they providef. We had Sabre guiding us, and we really couldnt have gotten a better experience. Will remember this for ther rest of my life!

Best trip ever.
Our decision on selecting Eastern Sun Tours is worth every penny. We booked a 6 days tour to Tarangire, Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater, we were pleased with our selection and we had a wonderful time. Everything went so perfectly and we had memorable times. The company is very experienced & trustworthy, they are very punctual In responding to our emails. Our tour guide Jeff was very knowledgeable with amazing eagle eyes. This agency's overall experience is very pleasant and we are happy to recommend it to our family and friends. Great value of money and on our private tour we were very comfortable. We were supplied with drinks all days, thank you so Much All.

Everything I wanted in my Kenyan Safari + Great Service
I booked Jocky Tours based on the great reviews listed on Google and Viator. I was lucky to have Jeff as my tour guide. On Day 1 Jeff accomplished what most say is impossible and had us spot the Big 5. Now this was no easy task. At one point we were leaving the park and Jeff turned around and raced us to make it to see a rhino in time even though we were almost out the park. He explained that it's rare to see a rhino so he didn't want us to miss our chance.
More importantly, my son has a Disability. Jeff was patient, caring and extremely helpful. There's no way I would've been able to get my son in and out of that safari truck. He assisted him each and every time and my son is a big boy. This is very important if you have someone that needs extra assistance or if you have kids and need a guide with some extra patience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jeff with Jocky to any of my family or friends!
FYI: I did upgrade my stay to Jambo Village which was completely worth it for me.
