Very adaptable and had knowlegde of the animals
This tour was perfect. Ibrahimu was so nice and adepted the tour to our wishes of animals to see and where we wanted to take breaks. I was pleasently suprised by the standard of out overnight stay, which is actually the best ive stayed at during my one month trip in Africa. We saw so many animals and got close to them in a calm manner. It was a beatiful tour and such good value for money!

Great safari with my family
We had a lovely safari. We saw the big five. Our drivers were very kind and had so much information about the animals and the country. The accommodation was very nice with good food and nice rooms. We felt safe traveling with jocky tours and the communication om email works very good. We had always a fast reply to all our questions before arrival 🙂
I recommend travelling with jocky tours.

Everything went perfectly well. The driver CALEB was very reliable and knowledgeable.
The cars are all similar as far as these safaris are concerned, what makes the difference is the general organization of the tour and especially the driver/guide. Both of these two items were very good in our case. CSALEB deserves a mention as he was very kind, prudent and knowledgeable about animals and territory.

We had a perfect time in the Ku Sungula Safari Lodge
We had a wonderful 4 nights at the Ku Sungula Safari Lodge. Within this short time, we had 4 impressive game drives and saw so many different animals. We observed a lion family having breakfast on sun rise, we saw a group of young elephants having a swimming party at a pond and many more unforgettable moments.
Our ranges Sam, John and Confidence did a wonderful job. They are very experienced and have so much knowledge about the animals, nature and the area. We felt very secure even though we had been very close to the wild animals.
One big surprise was the wonderful food we got for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The preparation and taste were like in a 3-star restaurant.
We recommend staying in the Ku Sungula Safari Lodge. It is each penny worth.

Amazing 15 day trip in Tanzania
We were a group of 4 people, and we had a great experience with Kilele Savane during our 15 day trip.
Franck was very reactive by email during the organisation / preparation of our tour, as well as once arrived in Tanzania (especially when all our luggages got lost :-) ).
Our guide and driver Kime for the all trip was great, very knowledgeable, and patient with us :-), always making sure to avoid the crowds even in the parks.
Our other guides, Sunday for our one day walk in the Kilimandjaro area, and Denis for the fantastic walks at the Lac Natron area, were very competent and always in a good mood.
All accommodations that were booked were comfortable with a great and welcoming staff.
We definitely recommend this local agency.

Reliable and super friendly
We did a 7 days Safari tire of Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli with a family of four with 2 kids (16 and 12). Our good was Geeman. Everything went according to plan, except the last day that was cut a bit short due to some of the party having to take an early train.
We saw a lot of wild life, including the big 5, and much more.
Masai mara was truly unforgettable. Lake Nakuru was really beautiful, was an amazing sighting of a leopard quietly walking alongside the road for several minutes and crossing the road in front of us. The boating on lake Naivasha was cool, and Amboseli was really nice. With beautiful clear views of the Kilimanjaro and Mandy many elephants surrounding our car (I love elephants).
I particularly want to comment on our guide Geeman. Very friendly and accommodating, and knowing how to place the car so we could have the best view without being too bothersome to the animals. Geeman is certainly a big part of why this experience was so great to us. I highly recommend him.

Incredible
We booked our first safari with Safari360. From the first contact to the pick-up at the airport, the communication with Pedro was absolutely flawless. He always responded to all our questions (and there were quite a few) super quickly and, above all, very very kindly. We felt in good hands from the first moment. Changes (from the route to the meals - my partner is vegan -) were easily possible.
We then had the safari with our guide Iddy and what can I say: it was simply wonderful. We saw SO MANY animals. And Iddy not only impressed us with his incredible knowledge of all the animals, but he was also an absolutely great guy personally. We really couldn't be happier!
Also the booked lodges far exceeded our expectations - they were amazing and we really enjoyed staying there after the safaris.
We really enjoyed our safari with Safari360 and especially with Iddy and can wholeheartedly recommend this company. Thank you so much again!

Absolutely amazing time with Josh Dreamland Safari
I have just returned from a 7-day safari with Josh Dreamland Safari (JDS) and I had an absolutely amazing time! I can honestly say that JDS is the best! JDS has all the necessary documents like a TALA license to carry out tourism activities in Tanzania, a TIN certificate, and BRELA registration, which they can send upon request.
From the first time I contacted Elizabeth and Angel regarding the safari until the end of my trip, the communication was excellent. Every day I had a message from Elizabeth to check if I was happy with the food, accommodation, etc. during my 7-day safari, which I thought was a nice touch.
Our safari guide (Godfrey) was great. He was our safari guide for a week, cultural and language educator, animal spotter, and most importantly, our new friend. We had a lot of fun and many laughs. Godfrey had more than 15 years of experience and knew where all the animals were. We saw all of the Big Five and much more--even some rare animals.
When talking to other guests in lodges that booked through big safari companies, we had definitely seen more animals.
I visited in February during the wildebeest and zebra migration, cub, and bird season (December to March). I saw so many cute baby elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and giraffes. Many birds change to bright colors to attract partners during this time.
My trip was as follows:
Day 1 - Lake Manyara NP
Day 2 - Tarangire NP
Day 3-5 - Serengeti
Day 6 - Ngorongoro Crater
Day 7 - Hike to Materuni Waterfall and coffee plantation
Accommodation: We selected mid-range lodges, and all of them were different, but each was very special. If you are staying in lodges, a 40% deposit is payable and 20% if you are camping. We paid the deposit by credit card and the rest in cash when we arrived in Arusha.
Please be mindful that changes to the schedule do occasionally occur due to various reasons and feedback received from previous guests regarding the accommodation, food, etc.
Parks:
Lake Manyara National Park - small and cute but has many animals per square meter.
Lots and lots of animal sightings, too many to list. We pretty much lived in the 4x4 during game drives every day.
Tarangire NP - probably my least favorite due to very bumpy roads and fewer animal sightings per square meter, but it has pretty landscapes.
The Ngorongoro Crater was definitely a “don’t miss” park and was the only place I thought we would see a rhino. We also had a very close encounter with a few lions, large elephants, and later saw a herd of them quite close as well.
In the Serengeti, our sightings were unmatched, and in the evenings, we were serenaded every night with hyenas outside the tent. Escorts were mandatory here and for a good reason. One night I saw a large hippo munching on the grass on the walking path outside the tent.
The Materuni Waterfall hike and coffee plantation was a fun full day that I didn't want to end and say goodbye to my new friends from JDS.
I’ll end by saying one more thing I liked about Josh Dreamland Safari: the company is run by a woman (Angel) who is passionate about animals and giving back to the community. I had an absolutely amazing time in Tanzania with them and hope you do too.

Great service - very responsive - tailored a great bespoke itinerary to fit our timings and budget
We’d already booked our travel and had two and a bit days that we wanted to fit a Pilanesberg safari tour into. Shaun was very responsive, came up with useful suggestions and put together a great package for us. What we went for wasn’t cheap but felt like good value. We had an amazing time! Only minor criticism was that our driver was a new guy who wasn’t used to airport pickups and was quite late, leaving us hanging around at Jo’burg airport for a while. But I suspect we were just unlucky on that - and he was a good driver with some interesting stories (and fluent in 10 of the 11 official ZA languages!)
