Friendly and accommodating.
My wife and I had a wonderful time on our three day, two night stay on Ssese Island. While we experienced a few small hiccups during our time, they were addressed by hotel staff with assistance from Christine, our Pamoja coordinator.
Apart from our time lounging at the resort’s beach, our favorite highlight was the canoe ride, in which two locals rowed us about, showing us Ssese’s natural beauty from atop Lake Victoria’s tranquil waters. We also quite enjoyed the nature walk that also gave us a glimpse into life in nearby Kalangala town.
Christine herself was a lovely and friendly guide to have with us during our stay. She was enthusiastic and fun throughout. There were times, however, that we could have been afforded slightly more space to enjoy our stay as a couple but Christine was a helpful companion. Her services really shined when we were booking our trip. She gracefully and painlessly accommodated a change in our reservation dates and place of pickup. We were very grateful to her for all her help with logistics.
Overall, our time in Ssese was fantastic and all too brief. It’s a short ferry ride from Entebbe, but a world away. Treat yourself to experiencing Ssese’s natural, restorative beauty. We absolutely plan to return and would book again.

Disappointing safari
Essentially we had a driver not a guide on our 6 day safari. Ben could not answer very basic questions. So our safari was very low information. By the end, our driver was barely talking to us. Tension bad on vacation.
The company also made changes without telling us in advance. And really did not plan or prepare well, though we booked 3+ weeks in advance. A disappointing trip which was quite pricey.
We travel all over the world. First time to experience such rudeness and unprofessionalism.

An excellent choice for budget travellers who still want to experience Kenia's national parks.
We had some trouble paying for our safari because my phone had been stolen and I didn't have access to my bank account. Their office staff handled the issue in a very courteous and professional way, many thanks for that!
All the camps and the hotel we were staying at, albeit basic, offered everything we needed. The food was good, and the camp in Amboseli offered a stunning view of Kilimanjaro.
The hotel in Nakuru almost felt too luxurious for a budget safari.
Our driver and guide, Dickson, was friendly and knowledgable. In particular, we felt his road driving was a lot safer than what we saw from many other safari vehicles.
In summary, if you're looking for a budget safari, we can definitely recommend Jockey Tours.

Francis is extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and accommodating. We had a great time!
The three-day Maasai Mara safari has been awesome. Our tour guide, Francis, knows the park and the animals and really seemed to enjoy providing us all with a great experience. We ended up seeing all of the Big Five, including the rhino that I really wanted to see! Francis was also very accommodating of the guests; answering many questions and giving us some options for pick up, rest stops, etc.
The accommodations at Jambo Mara have been very comfortable. The glass cabins are spacious and clean, the grounds are beautiful, and the buffet style dining offers plenty of options.

Amazing safari experience each time
Pounds East Africa Safaris offer amazing safari experiences. I have just finished my third safari with them and Loyce always looks after all of the details so you can just sit back and enjoy the wildlife. Pounds East Africa Safaris have great relationships with accommodation and food venues to ensure you are comfortable and have knowledgeable guides to show you wildlife. We just saw so many lion, lion cubs, zebras, hyenas, elephants including baby elephants and so much more. Even though I have been on three tours now I am excited to come back again and would absolutely go through Pounds East African Safaris again. I highly recommend them to all of my friends.

Amazing experience
We had the pleasure to make the safari with Psalms Adventures and we could not choose better. Olivia has been amazing from start to finish, always kind and helpful.
Then our driver Morgan has been great. He found all the animal we wanted to see and he has been always quite and he gave us the time to enjoy every moment and to take all the pictures we want.
Really amazing experience
Thank you

A total recommendation!
We booked several parts of our round trip to the Western Cape and a Safari with Viatu. The whole booking process from providing suggestions to finalizing the reservation was smooth and quick. Our best accommodations and experiences were booked via Viatu. Everything exceeded our expectations and was just fantastic! The next time we will book the whole trip with Viatu. A total recommendation!

Outstanding 6-day safari in Kenya with Meektrails
We had a fantastic 6-day safari in Kenya with Meektrails. The entire experience was incredible! Before the trip, our tour consultant William was always ready to answer our multiple questions and doubts. For the Safari, we had the company of the best possible driver/guide ever, Antony Macharia! With the eyesight of an eagle, he could spot wild animals miles away and take us as close to the action as possible (and safe). We had the trip of a lifetime and we will never forget it. We strongly recommend Meetrails not only for their professionalism but also for the fantastic people that work there! Thank you William, thank you Antony, thank you all!

He puts his heart and soul into a safari.
Olefile is a great person, guide and driver. He loves his home country, the nature, the people and his job. He knows how to explain things and contexts, is patient and considerate. He put together a very interesting, varied trip for us that was well worth the price. He is not only a very good tour organizer, but also a cheerful, pleasant and modest person. We can warmly recommend Klaas Safaris to everyone.
