Everything was taken care of perfectly, we didn’t have to stress about a thing!
We did a 4-day safari in the Masai Mara with Jocky Tours in Kenya, and it was an amazing experience.
After requesting it, we were picked up directly from our hotel and were able to leave our suitcases at the Jocky Tours office before the journey began. From there, we drove about six hours to the camp. Our driver, David Mukami, always stopped whenever we needed a bathroom break or anything else during the trip.
After the rather long and bumpy drive, we arrived at the camp, which was much better equipped than we had expected. We received a warm welcome and were able to put our belongings in our tent before enjoying our first lunch. The food took a little getting used to, but overall it was good. There was always rice or fried potatoes available, so even as a very picky eater, I was always able to find something to eat.
The tents were spacious and each had its own private bathroom with basic facilities. We had expected to share a communal bathroom, so this was a very pleasant surprise.
Our first game drive with David Mukami was fantastic. He answered all of our questions, was incredibly helpful, and did everything he could to make sure we had the best experience. He knew the park extremely well, which meant that by the second day we had already seen every animal living there. He always found the best viewing spots, and we were even lucky enough to witness the Great Migration with a river crossing—an absolutely breathtaking experience.
For lunch, we were given lunch boxes by the camp. Our request for vegetarian meals was always taken into account, which we really appreciated. The lunch boxes were okay, although nothing particularly special.
On the third day, we had the optional opportunity to visit a nearby Maasai village for $20 per person. It was interesting, but not something you absolutely have to do.
The fourth day at Lake Nakuru was spectacular as well. David continued to do everything he could to help us find the last missing member of the Big Five—the rhino. Thanks to his dedication, we succeeded!
The rest of our group had booked a 7-day safari, but everything was very well organized for us too. After Lake Nakuru, we were taken to our final lunch stop, where we were picked up separately. Our suitcases were already waiting for us, and another driver took us directly back to our hotel in Nairobi.
Overall, the safari exceeded our expectations, and we would highly recommend Jocky Tours to anyone visiting Kenya. A very special thank you goes to David Mukami—he was by far the best driver and guide we could have asked for. His knowledge of the parks was outstanding, he was incredibly kind, and he truly made our safari unforgettable.

Perfect itinerary
We booked the 5 day private tour anniversary tour with Serengeti African Tours and did not regret one bit - from the booking process to the end of the tour, everything was smooth and well organised. Staff who assisted with booking (Antonio) was very responsive when I had many questions, she also did a check in during the tour to ensure everything was going well!
Special mention to our guide (and everything in one!) - Peter, who took care of us over these 5 days. His passion for this job is overflowing - I love it! Highly recommend requesting for Peter as your guide for your tours! He will not disappoint :)

From the very beginning until the end of the trip, everything was perfectly organized. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best possible experience.
In addition to the incredible game drive, we also visited a Maasai village. These experiences made the trip even more special and gave us a wonderful insight into Tanzania's culture and natural beauty.
Throughout the entire journey, we felt well taken care of. Everything ran smoothly, and the team's professionalism and hospitality were outstanding.

To see all of the Safari Animals go with Axis Africa Safari
This tour was an excellent way to experience Africa's wildlife while staying within my budget and limited time. The highlight was the Maasai Mara, where we saw the true wildlife, including the unforgettable zebra river crossing. The boat safari on Lake Naivasha and the game drive in Lake Nakuru National Park complemented the experience.
The accommodation throughout the trip was clean, comfortable, and served good food. What made the experience even more enjoyable was the excellent group of fellow travelers. The organizers did a fantastic job of bringing together people who got along well, creating a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. The vehicle was comfortable and the driver/guide was very knowledgeable who explained every animal we saw in detail. He was professional and highly dependable throughout the tour. We greatly admired his work ethic.
I highly recommend this tour to families and anyone looking for a well-organized, budget-friendly African safari without compromising on the quality of the experience.

An Unforgettable Tanzanian Safari with Wildebeest Safaris
Our safari with Wildebeest Safaris was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. John, our trip coordinator, was incredibly patient, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our vacation the best it could be. Instead of trying to upsell excursions, he focused on what would truly enhance our trip. One of his best recommendations was adding the Ngorongoro Crater to our itinerary—a place we hadn’t even considered, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire vacation. He also found us excellent safari rates and discounted transfers, all while maintaining a first-class experience that was significantly better value than anything we found online.
Our safari guide, Hatibu, was outstanding. His knowledge of the parks and incredible ability to track wildlife made every game drive exciting. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience, never hesitating to drive farther or spend extra time searching for animals. Thanks to his expertise, we saw the Great Migration and even spotted a rhino—an incredibly rare sighting. His passion, dedication, and tireless energy made our safari truly exceptional.
Wildebeest Safaris delivered outstanding service every step of the way. From airport pickup to our final drop-off, everything was seamless and well organized. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari in Tanzania.

Book the trip. You will NOT regret it.
Where do I even begin? My husband and I just returned from a 12-day Kenya and Uganda safari with Wild Uganda, and it was nothing short of life changing. This was my husband's first time setting foot on the African continent and my first safari, and Wild Uganda made sure it was everything we could have hoped for and more.
From the moment we started planning, Ernest was our anchor. He was responsive, thorough, and genuinely invested in making sure we were prepared and excited before we even boarded our flight. Any question we had, big or small, was answered quickly and with care. That level of attentiveness before the trip set the tone for everything that followed.
Once we were on the ground, our guides Yasir in Kenya and Kasim in Uganda took over and absolutely delivered. Both were deeply knowledgeable, not just about the animals but about the land, the culture, and the ecosystems we were moving through. Yasir's ability to spot wildlife before we even knew where to look made our game drives in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru unforgettable. We saw the Big Five, and every sighting felt personal rather than rushed. Kasim brought a richness to our Uganda experience that went far beyond the animals. He wove in the history of local tribes, Ugandan traditions, and food in a way that made us feel like we were truly getting to know the country, not just passing through it. The gorilla trekking in Bwindi was the single most extraordinary thing I have ever witnessed. Standing feet away from a mountain gorilla family in their natural habitat is something no photograph or description can prepare you for.
The logistics throughout were seamless. Twelve days across two countries, multiple national parks, lodges, and an internal flight is a lot to coordinate, and Wild Uganda handled every detail without a hiccup. We never felt uncertain about what was happening next or where we needed to be. That kind of organization is rare and it allowed us to be fully present for every experience.
Whether you are a first time safari goer, a seasoned traveler, or a couple looking for an adventure that will bring you closer together, Wild Uganda is the operator for you. Do not hesitate. Book the trip. You will not regret a single moment.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Amanda Holland
Bwindi Impenetrable NP fulfilled our life-dream of trekking to see gorillas. The lush green and dense vegetation made for an authentic bush-bashing experience, with guides creating our path as we moved up and down the steep terrain. We spent an hour with a family of 10 gorillas and got to see mums, babies, teenagers and a silver-back. Words can't describe the magic of sitting with these incredible beings.
