Amazing African Safari
From the time we began our booking enquiry to the time we returned from our trip the customer service with this company was outstanding. Christine was very responsive, helpful and insightful about what to expect, what to bring, where we were going and assured us that we would enjoy our trip – my gosh she was right! Our guide Anthony ‘Hoppy’ was a wonderful man who made sure we made it into the Kruger Park when our flight was delayed into Jo’berg on the first day, and his knowledge of the local area and the Kruger Park itself was amazing.
We were a family of 5 from Australia travelling together and luckily ‘Hoppy’ was our personal tour guide over the next 4 days. Hoppy was up first every morning ready with coffee and biscuits for us before the early morning drive, and breakfast, and would teach us something new each day. Hoppy has been a tour guide in the Kruger for some years and this was evident as he knew all the spots of where to find the animals and would allow us time to stop for photos whenever we wanted. We saw all of the Big 5 on numerous occasions, except for the Leopard which eluded us, however we saw many other animals which amazed us, including two rare white rhino – Hoppy even gave us a check list to mark off the animals which was great!.
We stayed at two rest camps over the four days, and they were both clean, had good facilities and were of a decent standard (aircon, fridge, shower and little balcony) – they were not 5 star but I didn’t expect that either, you are in Africa after all. The dinner at the restaurant at Skukuza camp was very impressive and the selection was endless, additionally all other camps were serviced by a ‘Mug and Bean’ which was also very good, believe me you won’t go hungry!
Thank you Wildlife Safaris for being a wonderful ambassador for tourism in South Africa, I would recommend your company and ‘Hoppy’ to everyone. We will be back some day, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Fabulous place to start your Wild Life Safari experience
We embarked on a 5-day safari covering Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and it was truly an incredible adventure! We chose Jocky Tours for our trip, based on insights from Safari bookings, and couldn't have been happier with our decision.
With Stanley as our guide and driver on a private tour (Toyota Land Cruiser), we had a fantastic experience. The trip was worth every rupee spent. We were fortunate to see the Big 5 and a wide variety of animals and birds across all three locations. The boat tour at Lake Naivasha on our way to Lake Nakuru was a lovely addition to the trip. We capped off our journey in the Masai Mara with a breathtaking hot air balloon ride—an absolute must-do!
The arrangements were excellent, from the hotels to the vegetarian meals. Despite the long road trips, everything was well-organized and engaging. The weather in August was pleasant, although we missed the chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro due to cloud cover.
If you're considering a safari in Kenya, go for it! This trip is worth every moment.

Excellent
Excellent tour operator. All was handled smoothly and the service was exquisite and special, from the office staff to the great (now a friend!) guide to all the staff from the camps where we stayed. All made us feel warm and welcome. Great vacations we will never forget. Will return definitely.

Roho Ya Chui gave us ULTIMATE safari adventure unlike No Other!!
You gave us a "True" African adventure and exceeded our expectations. Had we gone to So Africa and Botswana on the first leg of our trip, we would have been Very Disappointed that the rest couldn't match what you provided. Our only regret was that we did not stay longer. Our permanent tents were luxurious; our non-permanent tent was comfortably rustic and took us back in time. The food and staff at Every site was Excellent; we especially loved the true Botswana lunch prepared special for us by Judy at Okavango Delta. A special Thanks also to Sunny Boy at Sabi Sands.

Breathtaking wildlife in various scenario and beatiful beaches in a perpetual summer.
We spent one week safari with a great and well experienced guide (Patrick from Leopard Orchid Safari). From Nakuru to Masai Mara, from Amboseli to Tsavo we encountered uncountable animals and experienced some impressive wildlife scenes. In addition we visited a tea plantation near Nairobi and enjoyed some days in Tiwi beach near Diani. Safety is good, but wandering in some parts of the big cities alone (without a local guide) is not recommended. Nevertheless a travel in Kenya is definitely an experience to do and hopefully repeat.

Disappointed
During my tour, okavanko river is dried up and no wild animals in this region.
I was really disappointed that situation even though tour company informed in advance.

Amazing!
We shared our visit to Masai Mara with some friends, who had never done Safari before. We enjoyed their enthousiasm :-). In the park you find no traces of any human waste, the wildlife was abundant. The one thing we missed, were the big groups of wildebeest, but this time of the year, most of them are in the Serengeti.
In 4 days, we have seen Lions, cheeta, zebras, wildebeest, hartebeest, maraboe, mangoest, impala, topi, hyena, buffalo, gazelle, vultures, crocodile, hippo, eagles ....
We hope to visit the park again.
