Day tour in Kigali
Hello,
Had a short business trip in Kigali and managed to get a free day for me. Silverback Expeditions was very quick to book this tour for me just the day before and planned an amazing day for me exactly how I wanted including that sushi I was craving for to end the day. Thanks so much!

It's such an amazing tour company that is keen and cares a lot about their clients.
From the MangiEMPIRE Adventures showed their high standard by answering fast and accurate on all email communication. We choose a 4 days Mid-range safari covering Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti. All accommodations from lodges to tented camps were very good, sometimes better than we expected. As we were 4 persons we had a private vehicle to ourselves. Our driver/guide did his utmost to give us the safari experience of our life, being extremely good on spotting animals and knowing where to go in the parks. He took us safely between the parks, and did not take any unnecessary risks in the traffic, as we saw other drivers do. He was always very correct and easy to be around! The best park was Serengeti! We found ourselves in the middle of the migration which was a big bonus and we saw the big five and many, many Lions, one big experience was a cheetah jumping up on our car, talk about close encounter. We had high expectations when choosing this Safari, and MangiEmpire Safaris delivered all the way; I can really recommend This Company!

The best experience in Africa
My experience with Jocky Tours and Safaris was great. From the beginning to the end. I arrived in Kenya on Monday 3rd morning and I did not have much time to be in the country, all I knew was that I wanted to do a 4-day Safari and could not waste time. I researched on the Internet and got the number of one of the organizers of this company (Alex). I wrote very late the day of my arrival and wanted to book to start the next day (Tuesday). Alex told me that he did have available space and that they would pick me up at 7:30 am. They were very punctual. On the way to Masai Mara our transport had a mechanical damage, we had to wait a couple of hours but they sent a new vehicle in the indicated time. Our guide, Richard, was always aware of us and did everything possible to visualize wildlife. The accommodation, the food and the schedules of the game drives were as indicated in the description that was sent to me and filled my expectations. I thank Jocky Tours and Safari and especially Richard for making my experience in Kenya fascinating and unforgettable.

Incredible 2 day safari - great for your first safari
We had an incredible experience on our 2 day safari in Tarangire National Park and the Ngorongoro Crater with Taste of Afrika. From start to finish everything was well-organised by the company - Seka kept us well-informed and arranged absolutely everything! From airport pick-up and drop-off, lovely hotels (particularly Farm of Dreams, wow) with such friendly staff, tasty food, to the safari experience itself, we couldn't have asked for a better service. Temba was a brilliant guide on our travels, telling us so many interesting facts about the local flora and fauna, getting us into great positions to see the animals, and driving very adeptly over the sometimes bumpy ground. As a first safari experience we couldn't have been happier, and we'd highly recommend this short safari to other first-timers. We'll be signing-up to a longer one next time for sure.

Above all expectations
What an experience! We, a group of 4 people, did a safari of 7 days (Amboseli-Lake Naivaska-Maasai Marai) on Patricia's advise. We gave Patricia a budget and our minimal requirement and she managed to get the maximum out of everything. She was so kind to advise on every question we had and amended the trip time by time according to our needs.
The trip itself was amazing our guide collected us perfectly on time with a van. The van itself had plenty of space for 4 tall dutchies. However the 4x4 would have been more confontrable, but our budget didnt allow. Our guide was so eager to fullfill our animal whish list, and discussed every day the options we had. In this way, we were able to take it easy on some days and go for the maximum on the other day.
The accomodations&food where also above expectations. The only unexpected thing we had was a change in the last accomodation. This was required since the initial accomodation was fludded by the heavy rains. However, we could complain since it changed from outside the Maasai Mara, to inside the park!
We would definately recommend to book it through Travel for Change, especially with Patricia.
Ps, im normally not writing any reviews, but this organisation deserves it!

We could not have asked for a better experience
We booked a 3-day trip to Masai Mara through Twinkle Star. We got excellent help from James who made sure we got exactly what we were asking for. He even contacted us afterwards to make sure we were satisfied with the trip. Our guide Miqal picked us up in Nairobi and from the first minute we felt really welcomed. This whole trip was totally living up to our expectations thanks to Miqal who genuinely cared about giving us the best experience we could ever dream of. We had the greatest time and we will definately be choosing this company again.

A Wonderful and a well planed tour for chimps trekking-
We did a 3 day tour out to Gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park with Kaara Adventures, specially to see the gorillas. From Kigali International Airport to Volcanoes National park and from there we enjoyed 130KM driving ride with their tour guide and after that we have some refreshments and get relaxed at a lodge; they provide us. From there we went to explore the Gorilla tracking. During the trip we got the chance to get up close and personal with the Gorilla and spend a full hour watching with photography. This was also amazing among the all activities, as that park was a home for gorillas and some other animals like golden monkey, since there are approximately 5,000 and more gorillas just in Uganda. At the end of tour, they arranged a special trip to the airport. Samuel was great in terms of answering all my questions in a timely manner and making sure everything was as I wanted. He is really such an honest, trustworthy guy.

Our visit to the National parks Tarangire and Serengeti and Conservation area Ngorongoro
We just came back from our trip to Tanzania part of which was also safari tour organized by Shemeji Safari company. We had a great opportunity to visit beautiful national parks Tarangire and Serengeti as well as conservation area of Ngorongoro where we enjoyed abundance of animal life and unforgettable colours of true Africa. No need to mention that we brought back home plenty of pictures as well as nice memories which we'll share with our friends and family.
All this would not be possible without excellent guide and reliable driver and we had this in Adam, employee of Shemeji S. We would like to thank him for his valuable and professional support during our entire tour. Due to his efforts, attention and care we managed to learn a lot not only of animals and plants we saw in the parks but also about your nice country and your people. Adam was always ready to answer each of our questions and was even having a book with him showing all animal species we could encounter in the parks.
Finally let me mention that our transfers from Kilimanjaro airport to town of Arusha and back were arranged by the driver named Frank who was reliable and did his job according our best expectations.
