Professional and reliable operator providing amazing experienc
We went on a 6 day (5 night) safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli with Jocky Tours. We had such a great time!
Our guide Charles K was a very professional and amazing guide, he knew all of the parks very well and always got us to the best spot to see the animals. He communicated perfectly with the other drivers and collected info, therefore we were able to see everything, for example lions hunting and mating, baby elephants bathing and sleeping while protected by his mother ect. We saw the big five and even more:)
Charles was an excellent driver both off-road and on the road, we felt perfectly safe with him. He was always kind and helpful.
We booked a budget safari as a family with two teenage kids and I have to say the first two accomodations were fine. The third place we stayed at had rather basic rooms but we had such an amazing view to Mt. Kilimanjaro from the dining space and the staff was so kind that we ended up liking that place too.
I definitely recommend going with a 4x4 jeep as its more comfortable and has bigger windows than the minivans. So you will be able to see more even when seated.
All in all the safari was above our expectations, many many thanks to Charles for this amazing experience!

Safari Avventura miss you already
We highly recommend this experience to everyone, we were immediately warmly welcomed by our guides Jamali and David who we will never stop thanking for making this trip unforgettable.
Our trip started with a small safari at Lake Manyara (note that the lake is expanding and some roads are not accesable) thanks to our guides we managed to see many animals including a family of elephants very close to our car.
Then our journey continued to the Serengeti where we were lucky enough to find the big five and we had the extraordinary chance to see a breathtaking sunset and a beautiful sunrise the following day. We strongly suggest to stop for a night in a tented camp, because the experience of sleeping in the midst of uncontaminated nature will remain in your hearts forever. The vastness of the Serengeti is inexplicable as its name suggests an "infinite plain" (as taught to us by Jamali).
On the fourth day we continued towards the Ngorongoro Crater whose morphology manages to contain most of the animals and the variety of landscapes that only Africa can offer. Here thanks to David we see a whole family of lions with their cubs.
On the fifth day we ended our tour in the Park of Tarangire where, in addition to many animals, we admired the bao bao and we went inside one of them!
David is really knowledgeable and thanks to his experience he always know how to find animals. He made our trip unique with tales of Tanzania's most historic lions and other stories that we will never forget. Thanks to his driving ability (especially on the road to Serengeti) we always had fun and felt safe, which is not to be taken for granted considering the numerous cars we saw stuck or damaged in the park.
If you are lucky enough to have them as guides your journey will be full of emotions and you will know every characteristic of the local culture, the territory and the animals that live there thanks to their experience.
We miss Africa and our guides already!
Hope to see you soon,
Claudia and Matteo

Just a waste of money and time
Recently we had a tour with Trusit Line Safaris their service was not good at all we could not stay with their food. They were feeding us stale food and the accommodation was dirty. I advise to stay away from their services.

We enjoyed the Safari trips very much. Joseph and Freddy are great guides and have eagle eyes to spot the animals.
The accommodations at the lodge were great also. The packed lunch and breakfast, dinners were also good. The services at the lodge and each person was very friendly and helpful.
Our only regret is that we should have planned to stay extra days to enjoy the Maramboi Tented Lodge and Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge as leisure days. Beautiful place but we get there in the evening and left early next day.
Our group had many that were vegetarian and preferred to have Indian cuisine. They were able to provide that for us at each of the lodge for dinner and we even got India food for couple of picnic lunches. That was a surprise and it was very good specially the spicy sauce. 😃
We recommend this group 100%. Hope to visit them again in future.

We are able to see Big 5, ugly 5, and unforgettable great migration. Highly recommend Mr. Alex, Mr Moses and their team .

Awesome aventure 🤩
The experience of living a safari is wonderful, indescribable. The hospitality they offer us is great and friendly, our guide and driver Ali made the safari entertaining, we were very lucky to have him as a guide since he explained each journey very well to us. I would return to a safari without hesitation, the hotels and accommodations were pleasant, I highlight the Amboseli Manjaro Tented Camp, I felt connected with nature and its surroundings, the tents were super clean and the bathroom was very cozy. thank you very much for making this experience unforgettable. Thanks Ali

I am really grateful for this trip!
During the summer, Peace Matunda took us on a safari. This was an amazing experience, they are highly competent, and I believe that Peace Matunda's small size sets them apart from other companies. As a result, the experience is better tailored to your goals and more genuine. Additionally, by working with this organization, you truly connect with the locals and directly support local development. I am really grateful for this trip!

A great way to see amazing Kenya
We recently travelled on the 6 day Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru flying and driving Safari. We had a great time in all parks, seeing the big 5, getting great views of the parks and animals. Our guide David was very dedicated to showing us the best views and teaching us about the animals and landscapes. The accomodation was good and the food was really good. We saved a significant amount of driving time by choosing to fly between Amboseli and Masai Mara which meant we could see more of the park and animals.

We were attracted by the warmth and hospitality of Yield Safaris and Tours!
Let me take this opportunity on behalf of Patrick and I to congratulate Happiness and Fred, not forgetting Teddy and the team for a memorable experience on the safari during 2024 August.
My luggage remained in Cairo and Fred, Happiness and Teddy ensured that my needs were met until I received my luggage the following night. Heartfelt thanks to them.
We were awed by the ambience of the lodges and the hospitality of the employees. There welcome made us feel special. Additionally our tour guide/driver went beyond the call of duty to obtain certain items for us.
Yield Safaris and Tours, you have given us an incredible experience, one which we will NEVER forget.
