Susan was extremely responsive and helpful when a few issues arose
I traveled to a private Game Reserve , Victoria Falls and then Cape Town . The itinerary and arrangements put together by my agent were perfect.
The accommodations and experience at Sabi Sand reserve were incredible and well exceeded my expectations. And worth every penny.
My accommodations in Zimbabwe ( Vic Falls and Chobe Nat’l Park) were very nice.
Food at the Shong We Oasis was lacking, but the service and ambiance were good. The prearranged tours of the Falls and Chobe were excellent.
My experience in Cape Town was mixed. The city tour was weak, but the trip to the Cape of Good Hope was spectacular. Table Mountain cable car was not doable due to weather. My initial accommodation was unsatisfactory and my agent worked quickly with the management to move me to another property. Staying close to the water ( Beach Rd ) is ideal as the restaurants in walking distance are plentiful.
Food is extremely good everywhere and inexpensive.

Amazing experience!
After looking and reading different reviews
- [ ] I choose Jockey tours. The service was very good, the driver pick up us on the hotel actually 10 min before the time agreed (and was amazing all the way) a bit scary as you walk to a dark office to begin your adventure … but this is Nairobi. We went with a shared group option, (8 people in total) and we were traveling with two children. We arrived to the Masai Mara after a long drive, but nothing can be done about this … a lot of kms. The Safari we went was great, even to raining wet condition! Our guide, Khalifa was really friendly, knowledgeable and patience. The park roads are bumpy, specially if rain that also are slippery and muddy, but the jeep that the tour provided is excellent (please be aware best to avoid the smaller vans) as we saw many small vans stuck in the mud). We had a great time and manage to see all that we ever dream of, rhino, hippos, lion, elephants, giraffes, zebras, cheetah and many more. The great thing about Khalifa was that he knew where to go and when, he has a great network who shares info with him, which made our experience a trip of a life time, it is never guaranteed to see everything. my children (age 12 and 16) also enjoyed. We went for a 3 days 2 nights option and that was good for us, e outside OK specially as we will split the week and also go to Diani Beach. Khalifa accommodate all our needs, and we were so grateful as he keep us safe.

Amazing once in a life time adventure
We did the 6 day private tour with Ezekiel to Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro. This package is great as it inlcuded all transfers and accommodation in Arusha before and after the safari. It was such an amazing experience and wouldn't of been possible without the knowledge and skill of our guide. Ezekiel was very accommodating with our schedule and great at positioning the car for photos. I would highly recommend Suricata and Ezekiel to anyone interested in a safari!

Excellent tour operator
Jocky Tours and Safari organized safari for us in Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli National Parks. We spent a lot of time in these parks and saw many animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, rhinos, hippos, leopards and so on. The accommodation was comfortable and fully consistent with what was stated. I recommend this tour operator and their wonderful guide Joseph.

Day Safari to Mikumi from Zanzibar:
Very well organized Safari Experience !
Everything went well. We were picked up at 7am, north of the island, received information via WhatsApp the day before. The plane was already getting on in years, but technically everything was ok! 45 min flight, landing directly in Mikumi National Park on a gravel runway. Then immediately went on a game drive in the 8-seater! Saw a lot of animals, several lions a few meters next to the cruiser, zebras, elephants, wild boars, antelopes, water buffalo, hippos. In between, lunch at a picnic area, rice, salad, juices, bananas, all good! Flight left 1 hour later, 5pm, so our game drive lasted 1 hour longer! Everything was perfect!!

Very organized and reliable
We had a fantastic 8 days experience, 5 days safari and 3 days exploring local villages and sites. Everything was greatly organized, always on time with clear info. Humphrey (the manager) has always been available, and even provided additional services to make our stay more comfortable. On the safari part, we travelled with another company (Merit's slopes) which had great guide and cook.
We strongly advise to take 1 or 2 days besides the safari ones, to have tours of local villages, which really helps better understanding local cultures.

Superb Safari with the tour operator. Expert, engaging, unforgettable!
I recently experienced a remarkable Safari in Kenya, the Guide's expertise in wildlife and the natural landscape added greatly to our adventure. We saw a variety of animals, and his insightful explanations enriched our understanding. His professionalism and knowledge of Kenyan culture deeply enhanced the experience. Highly recommend Inspired Feet Safaris for an unforgettable Safari journey!

Perfect
I have done the safari with my partner and we had Francis as the driver. No complaints. He was very effective, always punctual, helping us with everything and explaining everything we asked. I would repeat with him without hesitation

Perfect!
An incredible experience❤️ I thought that due to the low price (compared to other options), it would not be so good, but this safari has not lacked anything!!! It has been perfect. From the chosen hotels/campsites to the guide, the magnificent Francis. Everything he says comes true, you can trust the animals he promises you 100%!!!
The only thing I would not repeat is the visit to the Maasai village (it is optional, we were the ones who chose to go). In addition to being a bit expensive (20 dollars per person to enter), they pressure you to compress things and you end up spending a lot of money (a single necklace is 20/30 euros). Then the souvenir shops where they stop during the journey are also quite expensive for tourists and they will take advantage of the price (11 euros for two magnets!!!). Prices that one does not even pay in Europe. Therefore, be careful with scams! For the rest, enjoy Jocky Tours and if you're lucky, enjoy Francis!! I hope I can repeat this experience again, thank you very much for everything!
