Unique safari experience at 3 different NPs
We had a good guide (Elias) with excellent local experience and brilliant eyesight, always stayed on-road and communicated with other trucks, that's how we found nearly every animal incl. the Big Five. Lodges and served food were also amazing. Our guide could have provided a little bit more historical backgrounds though, we had to ask him everything in order to get infos. And unfortunately there were no night game drives.

Professional and experienced
Excellent trip with great guides. Very professional and accommodating. The food was surprisingly good every time thanks to Chef Salim.
An exusting adventure
We bee with Anderson, a men who has the capacity to make toy see the country with his own eyes; Uganda' eyes.
Our driver knew when to give us lessons about Uganda and when to keep quiet.
The only thing who keeps me on the 4/5 stars is the organisation, I had a solo trip but another person jointed (We didn't made a promise, but I been told about the new person on the starting day of the safari.. when u make what is lookin at

Shavi Tours is the best!
Shavi Tours is the best! They organized a group hiking trip to Oldonyo Lengai, and it was one of the most exhilarating adventures I've ever had. The guides were professional, the equipment was top-notch, and the views were simply breathtaking. After the hike, we relaxed in Zanzibar, where the beaches and coral reefs were a perfect way to unwind. I would definitely travel with them again.

Great tour for a solo traveler
I was nervous booking a safari as a solo female traveler, but the staff at Jocky Tours and Safaris was responsive and professional throughout the entire experience. They were quick to answer all of my questions before booking, and they were very helpful throughout the whole experience. Albert was an incredible guide who worked hard every game drive to get us as close as possible to as many animals as we could find! We ended up seeing 4 of the big 5 (the elusive leopard strikes again) and overall had an incredible experience.

First time climbing Kilimanjaro
This was our first time climbing Kilimanjaro, and honestly, our first real trekking experience, so we were a little nervous! But Jaribu Africa made the whole thing absolutely fantastic, from beginning to end. We hit a snag with our flights—they had to be changed at the last minute due to some airport issues—and Joseph was incredibly helpful and understanding, sorting everything out for us. It took a huge weight off our minds.
When we arrived at Kilimanjaro International Airport, we were met right away and taken to the Gran Melia hotel. The staff there were so welcoming, and the next day we had a full briefing about our itinerary. This was brilliant, as it really put us at ease and helped us get excited about the adventure ahead.
We chose the 8-day Lemosho route, and it was just our group of ten, along with the guides and porters. Our guides, Mathew and Stephen, were simply amazing. They truly made the trip unforgettable. Each evening, they’d sit down with us and explain exactly what we could expect the next day, which was really reassuring. They were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire trek. Being first-timers on Kilimanjaro, we had a ton of questions (probably more than they’re used to!), but they answered every single one thoroughly and patiently. We felt so lucky to have them; they were the perfect fit for our group.
The trek itself was incredible, and we can’t recommend the Lemosho route enough. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the hiking was so much fun.
We had such a positive experience that we’re already thinking about our next adventure! If you’re planning a Kilimanjaro hike, we wholeheartedly recommend Jaribu Africa. They were simply brilliant.
