I recommend Jocky tours and Isaac
Our tour guide Isaac of Jocky tours made all the difference. He was very friendly, drove carefully, and took care of every aspect of our journey.
The chalky tourist person is friendly and helpful
We were lucky to see and experience wildlife.

Excellent organisation and perfect guide for a 5 day safari from Amboseli to Tsavo East and West
We had a great experience with Karibu Safaris from the beginning to the end - and while the overall organisation was flawless and the office team also did a great job (always replying very promptly to our emails), this was largely thanks to our guide and driver Aruni, who always went the extra mile to make sure that we see many wild animals during the game drives. Because of all the green bushes in the parks at the time of our safari (a very rainy dry season), we were able to find and observe a male lion from very close in the large plains of Tsavo, and a whole group of lions the next morning. We were also able to be right in the middle of large groups of elephants crossing the roads, and seeing them take a bath, and so many more things. It was very pleasant to be on safari with Aruni for five days!

A lovely tour with an exzellent driver (Aruni)
We did a great safari at the mid-end of January 2024. It Was a 5-day Trip incl. Amboseli, Taita, Tsavo East and West. Although it was raining a lot in the last couple of weeks, we did see Zebras, buffalos, girafs, elephants, different Types of antilopes, foxes, lions and lioness..... The leopard we only saw at Ngulia lodge, where it gets feeded every night. The rhino sanctuary was closed during our stay at Tsavo West which was unfortunate.
The roads and bridges from Amboseli to Tsavo weren't in the best shape, but our driver was driving very well anyway. He was always nice and did the best so we could see as many animals as possible although it was difficult due to the vegetation after raining.

Friendly
My 2-day Amboseli tour with Kentau surpassed expectations. The captivating views of Mount Kilimanjaro enhanced the game drives. The Kentau team, particularly our guide, stood out for their knowledge and friendliness, elevating the overall safari experience. Gratitude for a memorable adventure in Amboseli.

Epic Safari Adventure with Guide George
I had the privilege of embarking on a remarkable safari adventure with Julius Tours, an experience that truly stood out. It all began with a simple WhatsApp message to Julius, and from that very moment, his responsiveness and eagerness to tailor the tour to accommodate not just my needs but also those of my friends were evident.
However, as fate would have it, my friends fell ill and regrettably couldn't join me on the Lake Nakuru National Park Safari tour. Undeterred, I decided to proceed solo, and what transpired was nothing short of incredible, largely due to the exceptional guidance of George, my trusty companion for two memorable days at Lake Nakuru.
From the moment George picked me up, punctuality was his forte, and his deep familiarity with the journey's nuances was evident. Despite the lengthy drive from Nairobi to Nakuru, George expertly navigated the labyrinth of Kenya's roads, deftly maneuvering through traffic snarls with ease.
George's expertise in locating wildlife was nothing short of remarkable. My primary interests were lions, giraffes, and rhinos, and over the course of those two days, we were fortunate enough to encounter all three.
One particular moment stands out: George's extraordinary patience. He suggested we wait for a group of lions resting in the grass, making them difficult to spot. We heeded his advice, and the reward was magical. The lions eventually shifted to a spot much closer to us, and witnessing their graceful saunter on the safari was a sight to behold.
However, the pinnacle of our adventure occurred during the final morning game drive. We chanced upon a pride of lions just after they had feasted, and the spectacle of them quenching their thirst at a watering hole was a rare and exhilarating sight. George explained that witnessing lions drinking water in the wild was an unusual occurrence, adding an extra layer of elation to our experience.
Throughout the safari, Julius, the tour's owner, periodically checked in to ensure everything was proceeding smoothly. This level of attentiveness and professionalism left an indelible mark.
In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Julius Tours to any safari enthusiast. Their professionalism, deep understanding of the safari experience, and commitment to safety and enjoyment make them a top choice for this incredible adventure.

Very professional service
We had the best time with Dav Safari.
From getting the information before the booking, payment and communication before the trip to every day during the safari everything was spot on. John was a great guide and we enjoyed every minute. Well done guys!
This tour operator was in my opinion the best ever, extremely professional and very helpful.
Absolutely blown away by my experience with Javiva Adventures. Very fast to respond to any queries I asked no matter how big or how small, or what ever time of day it was. Even in the Christmas holidays she didn’t take a break from helping me choose the right trip. She offered it all from the luxury of having a private vehicle to myself or join other small groups which is what I did. It was great to share some of the most amazing experiences with others and tick off the big 5 for a very reasonable price. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again with Javiva Adventures in the near future. Even after the safari Javiva managed to keep bending over helping me find somewhere to stay and assuring I’d be very well looked after.
Asante sana

Fabulous
I was in a spontaneous private 3-day Gorilla ttrekking as a solo traveler. My guide and driver was Brian. Everything went perfectly, the lodges were wonderful beyond expectations. Uganda charmed me with its beauty and purity. Lake Bunyonyi is magical place. Gorilla trekking was a powerful experience in itself, Brian took good care of it. Since I spontaneously decided in favor of this trip while I was in Tanzania, I was even able to borrow hiking boots and a rain cap from the Tubale company. Thank you Annette and Brian for the perfect service!

Mazongira made our dream trip become true. Perfect operator for our family safari
We decided to go for a local operator based in Tanzania, we chose Mazongira despite it was a bit more expensive than others and was a great choice. They were responsible, profesional, flexible, reliable and friendly. Just perfect. Particularly good was our guide Lucas. He had great experience and knowledge on the territory and animal behaviour, but overall a great person. Sensible, fine education, lovely with the kids and problem solver. On tope of that we appreciate Mazingira compromise with environment and good picnics. Overall excellent operator to make our dream Safari become true.
