Simply outststanding! Highly recommend.
Outstanding service and what an amazing "once in a lifetime" experience.
I cannot thank Martin and his team enough. Despite having a very narrow time window and a restricted budget, Martin managed to find a way to deliver the fantastic canoe safari experience I hoped for. I also needed to make significant last minute timing changes and Martin deftly managed to rearrange all arrangements accordingly.
The canoe safari was terrific. The itinerary, guides, food and equipment was exactly as communicated. Canoeing on the Zambezi is an amazing experience. The scenery was straight out of National Geographic and we got to see loads of animals and birds. It was such a privilege to be immersed in nature taking it all in. Simply amazing.
Martin was very helpful in planning the trip. I had lots and lots of questions and Martin was always open, courteous and quick to respond. The information he provided was spot on and made the trip for me.
The experience was great value for money.
Highly recommend.

The Great Wildebeest Migration - Magnificent! Unforgettable!
Our guide/driver Mr. Ezekiel Senkoro is a really seasoned professional. Though the chance of seeing all the Big 5 through this trip is likely at 50/50, but his effort of finding them is always 100%. So thankfully, we saw all the big 5, including two black rhinos, plus several times of legions of wildebeest crossing over Mara River.
The operator's response to my initial inquiry for a customized safari was swift and managed to secure one of the lodges that was in high demand.

Super trip that exceeded all our expectations, mostly thanks for the super guide Stanley
We have just returned from a 6-day safari with Jocky Tours, and our guide was STANLEY KANYA. Everything was very well organized; the process of choosing and booking the tour was excellent. The staff responded quickly and in detail to all our emails, and we had quite a few changes in the booking process, including dates, routes, and the number of people. In the Nairobi office, all the registrations were handled quickly and efficiently. We took the private Extravaganza tour, visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli. The quality of the vehicle was very decent, and all the hotels were fantastic—no complaints whatsoever. Honestly, we didn’t expect such great organization and accommodations.
Now, the most important part: I believe that only half of a safari's success (if not less) depends on the organization and route; the rest is thanks to the guide’s work. Most of our positive impressions are directly due to Stanley. His sense of humor, proficiency in English, professionalism, love for his country and its nature, and his deep knowledge of the animal world sometimes amazed us. There are no words to express our gratitude to Stanley. Jocky Tours should be very proud to have such a guide as him. His driving on challenging urban roads and safari trails was impeccable, smooth, and safe.
A couple of times, we had issues with the tires that needed to be changed or repaired, which is typical for safari roads, but he handled it all very quickly. On safari, all vehicles from different companies communicate via radio to share locations of animal sightings. Stanley was always where we needed to be, and his skill in positioning us in the best spots, even among other vehicles, was phenomenal. We were always at the right place with the best vantage point.
When we simply asked to see some crocodiles, he said "no problem" and took us to the exact spot on the river where they were. He knows each park like the back of his hand. Need a break? No problem. Want to see a giraffe up close again? No problem. We saw the entire "Big Five" thanks to Stanley. All three parks were amazing; we even had the chance to ride a hot air balloon over the savanna and photograph Kilimanjaro at sunrise.
Thank you, Jocky, and a huge thank-you to Stanley.

Best Safari Experience by SVAI.!! “Mikumi National Park”
SVAI made it so easy and well planned trip for us to reach from Dar Es Salaam to Mikumi and explore safari. Starting from Dar Es Salaam SGR station to reach Mikumi, everything was guided well. We stayed in Mikumi for one night in very good hotel. Next day early morning, we departed to jungle for discover animals. Guide was that good and knowledgeable which helped us to spot almost all the wild animals including BiG 4.!! Overall experience was fantastic and memorable.!! I truly recommend SVAI to make any trip in tanzania smooth and memorable.!!

A wonderful place to stay in a charming village! The accommodation was lovely, and the hosts were warm, welcoming, and incredibly hospitable.

The safari tours were expertly organized, with a professional touch that made us feel safe and fully immersed in the environment. I wholeheartedly recommend this place – it’s a perfect blend of comfort, authenticity, and outstanding service!

Tha amazing 7 days tour
We travelled in 3 people and it was really great. The guide Papa is really attentive, kind and helpful. The tour was great. We had just problem with lunch boxes where was unhealthy food (chips, crackers, pan. Just 1 apple). We are vegetarian and I missed fruit and vegetables. The last day the camp forget to get us lunch. Anyway, it’s just recommendations for change and improvement. The best accompdation was campsite Manjaro and the owner is fantastic. The hotel in Nakuru was really poor and service is bad. We had problem with wifi. I definitely change Chambai Safari hotel in the intinerary.
The tour was definitely perfect and we saw a lot of animals and the guide Papa is amazing! And Jocky tour? I definitely recommend!!!

Amazing
Hello
We visited Amboseli national park, Lake Nakaru and Masai Mara in our 6D5N honeymoon trip.
The entire trip was amazing and enthralling to say the least. Many thanks to Jacky for organizing everything without a hassle. All the stays were comfortable and we got to witness a kill at Maasai Mara and many other animal sightings as well.
Sam (our guide) is truly sincere and dedicated to his profession, such a lovely soul. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us Kenya.
We would happily visit Kenya again in the near future with our families.
Thanks again for everything :)
