A memorable experience.
We did the 8-day Victoria Falls, Chobe NP and Okavango Delta Safari and had the most amazing time. Everything was exactly as described in the itinerary and it all went off without a problem.
We loved the variety of experiences this Safari offered: game drives, flat bottom dugouts in the delta, river cruises on the Zambezi and small boat trips. The guides were always knowledgeable and friendly.
The accommodation was comfortable and even quite luxurious. The stay in Elephant Sands, with elephants wandering about so close to you, was a highlight. All the food was tasty and plentiful in all three accommodations.
We did the optional helicopter flights in both Victoria Falls and Okavango Delta before we did the on-ground tours and would recommend them. It provided another perspective and also gave more understanding of your ground experience.
We saw so many animals, insects and plant life. And all so close! We saw everything we had hoped to see except a leopard, which is notoriously difficult to find.
Flying into Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and out of Maun in Botswana meant that we didn’t have too much time on the road – 31/2 hours was the longest drive.
Thank you to Webster, Owen and team for a memorable experience.

Once in a lifetime experience
Safari was the best experience of our trip so far! Our driver, Albert was amazing and he made sure we will find all the animals!
We saw all the big 5 ( leopard was hidden in a tree but still).
We did a 4 day tour to Masai Mara and Nakuru and both accommodations were good. We booked budget so don't expect much, but at the end of the day you only need a shower and a bed.
I would totally recommend the tour to everyone!

Amazing experience!
The safari is an experience that will never be forgotten. Albert our driver has amazing driving skills and was always in the right place in the right moment, enabling us watch all big5 animals! Accommodation was great with spacious tents that had an integrated separate bath room with hot water. Staff is friendly and made us feel welcome. I would recommend Jocky Tours and Albert to anyone who is interested in living the safari experience.

Charles, our kid’s favourit operator
We had an amazing 3 days Safari in Amboseli with Charles. He has a big knowledge about all animals, always had an answer all the questions we asked. We were so close to babuns and elephants, it will be a memory for lifetime. He is very good especially with kids, I really recommend him if you travel with little ones. Thank you for everything Charles!

Authentic service providers
My experience in Uganda exceeded any expectations I had. The scenery was beautiful and varied: tranquil lakes, wild waterfalls, lush mountains with incredible vegetation and birds, dense forests and the open bush. Unbelievable sunsets and sunrises. The amount of wildlife is not as dense as other safari destinations so not a lot of big cats, however, the gorilla and chimpanzee treks make up for that. If you are a birder it is a must go. There are so many varieties and as one’s eyes adjust you begin to spot them everywhere. We went with a local Uganda company, Great lions safaris. Our driver/guide, Innocent, was one of a kind. He became like family. He made sure we were well cared for and went out of his way to accommodate us. The people of Uganda were welcoming and had such beautiful spirits. Our accommodations were amazing as was the food. I would skip the cities like Kampala and Entebbe except as a point of entry and departure. But the rest is pure magic.

Outstanding value for money and an amazing holiday experience
We had a wonderful experience with Safari Update Travels right from the start of our email communication. Whenever we had an issue with the inquiry, the staff were very accommodating, answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly. Peter, our tour guide, was a wealth of information and had extensive understanding of the animals. We stayed at Sarova Mara and the lodging was excellent. Everyone thinking about going on a safari in Kenya should definitely consider Safari Updates because they offered great value for the money.
