Excellent organization and reasonable price
We (family with two kids- both aged 13) went with RajaTours Tanzania to Kilimanjaro and safari. Both were great.
For a Kilimanjaro we chose Marangu route (6 days) and everybody succeeded. We had two guides named Patrick and Habibu, both very professional and kind, also other guys (porters and cook) were great. We are used to walking in mountains, and with their help we did not have major problems with the altitude. Also the price was reasonable.
On safari we spent three days (Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater)- it was very well organised and we saw lots of animals.
In general- we had wonderfull time in Tanzania and we recommend this agency

Amazing 5 day camping safari
I just got back from a 5 day camping safari to the Serengeti, Tarangire & Ngorongoro Crater. I have been travelling independently for nearly 20 years and this is only the 2nd tour I have done - and I have to say I was extremely impressed. My driver/guide Shirima was knowledgeable, helpful and great company, not to mention a very careful driver. He took me around each park sharing his extensive expertise on the environment, culture and wildlife, he answered all of my questions and more, and really made the trip very special and person. Also with us was a chef, Hameesi who conjured three great meals a day including a 3 course meal for dinner each night - the food was tasty and high quality, particularly considering he made them all in camp kitchens! Hamees was also great fun and good company. As a solo female traveller, safety and security is always in the back of my mind, but I didn't feel uneasy for a moment. I couldn't recommend Shirima and Hamees more highly, this is a trip I will never forget!

Lovely safari to Amboseli national park with Jockey Tours & Safari
We had an amazing trip to Amboseli national park with our knowledgeable and very king and pleasant guide Edward. We saw all the animals we could wish for and had an overall excellent experience! The sleeping accommodations at Kibo luxury tented camp was absolutely good value for money and set in a beautiful setting with high standards. Definitely recommended using jockey tours for your safari trip to Kenya!

Wonderful Safari Experience!
This was our second time to Africa and our second time on Safari -- they did not disappoint! We only had 2 days to spend on this trip for Safari, and they were able to meet our short time needs with still a very worthwhile experience. Jeff (the Director) picked us up at our hotel in Arusha in the morning -- he already had our Safari-mates in the truck -- two British brothers who were great to get to know -- we then picked up two other great Safari-mates along the way for the second day! Our Driver / Guide, James, was amazing! Even though he must do this trip day in and day out, he was exuberant to see the animals and so knowledgeable about any animal or plant or bird around. He spotted most animals way before we would have (if we would have seen them to begin with!) and had a wonderful sense of humor. Most of all -- for myself--- I am not a big fan of driving up (or down) mountainous curvy roads and James made me feel so safe due to his obvious experience (15 years) and not going crazy fast on the sketchy roads. He was a professional through and through. Between the Lake Manyere Park and the Ngorongoro Crater, we saw Elephants, Wildebeests, Gifraffes (from afar), Hippos, Zebras, Hyenas, Gazelle and most importantly -- 6 Lions!! Overall, for a 2 day Safari, it was well worth the money and I would recommend for sure!!
African Safari Tour, June 2017
I had an absolutely marvellous time, filled with such great contrasts in the four key places I was fortunate enough to visit: Chobe National Park, Savute National Park, Okavango Delta and culminating in the wonderful Bwindi lodge in Uganda!
Every place I visited, the guides were superb and all staff were very helpful, bending over backwards to assist us at any time. The food and service was all excellent. The photo opportunities were continual and exciting, especially since every trip produced new experiences with such a variety of wildlife. The houseboat trip on Chobe River was great, especially since we had the use of the smaller motorised boats appointed with swivelling seats and gimbal heads on tripod stands to suit heavy lenses. Here we saw a variety of scenes played out and could get so close to the action onshore in the boat. Everything from sparring bull elephants to hippos, impala practising their fighting skills, mongoose and baboon family activities. The birds were wonderful and many different species were within our photographic sights on each trip.
The cheetahs were wonderful in Savute and lovely to see the giraffes practising their battle skills and a huge bull elephant walked right up to our vehicle and past us on his way. Lions were part of our photographic diet and zebra, impala, kudu and other antelopes were there. The birds were continually available, including many birds of prey and the beautiful hornbills and roller birds. The Magpie Shrike eating the mouse was terrific to witness as well.
At Okavango, I was treated to hippo feeding and an elephant sleeping just outside my tent lodge at 4.30 am, after having removed some branches from a nearby tree! Here we had marvellous canoe and boat trips as well as safaris each day allowing us to see a leopard feeding, wild dogs, lions, elephants, zebra, mongooses, wonderful storks and birds of prey etc.
The optional gorilla trip extension was wonderful, and although we needed to go on two hard treks to see them deep in the forest over two days, it was great to see how they live and interact in the wild. Then on the last afternoon we were treated to a return visit from one gorilla family which came right up out of the forest into our lodge grounds! The huge Silverback walked right past me on the pathway, so it was hard to keep the camera still as I was a bit nervous! Amazing way to end a terrific tour to Africa.
At all times we were able to get valuable assistance when required from our photography expert Alistair MacDougall, who showed amazing energy and dedication to the task of recording our trip both in video and photographs, as well as helping all participants to achieve the most out of all photo opportunities. Our trip manager, Gerald MacLaren was always pleasant and very helpful, preparing us for every part of the trip as we went.
The accommodation was excellent all round and I enjoyed staying in the tent camp at Savute as much as the higher class accommodation at the other three places. It was overall very good value for money, especially considering we had 6 hours of safari trips most days.
From the termites and butterflies to the squirrels, mongoose, gorillas and the biggest mammals (and of course the frogs and a nice snake I saw), I had a great time meeting a sample of Africa's wonderful wildlife.
Thank you all so much for providing this fantastic opportunity.
