Very flexible and responsive tour company
The three day Radisson/Kruger tour was jam packed and great for first time safari people like ourselves. It was good to have a private game drive experience as well as Kruger. MoAfrika, and Lavender in particular, was responsive and on time for all of our transport.

Clement is the best
The safari was so beautiful. Clement is really the sweetest and nicest guide you can have at Masaka.
Very interested and very knowledgeable. We saw everything. So many lions, giraffes, zebras and wildebeest and elephants and hippos. Actually everything.
Ask for Clement when you book a safari with Makasa. Everything was well arranged. Sometimes it was not easy, but Makasa quickly solved it for us.
Absolutely recommended.

Making our safari the best
We took a safari during low season, so there wore less animals and less turist. Our accommodation were nice, very quiet and relaxing and good food. The guide try very hard to show all the animals and we learn alot from the driver. Very nice experience!

Review about Tarangire National Park by Ana
The park and the animals were incredible! However I felt that the park is very crowded and the guides/drivers don't receive information or guidelines to keep a respectful distance from the animals. At some point we were 30 cars chasing a group of elephants, and some of these cars blocked their passage, dividing the group of elephants in 2 and making them scream and go through the cars. The security of the cars and those inside wasn't respected either, since the cars were blocking each other. If the elephants attacked, dozens of cars could not leave the area, since the only road was blocked.
It should be mandatory to respect the wildlife!

7 days tour
We visited Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha & Amboseli parks. the safari was amazing and we saw a bunch of animals. one thing though, I did not like most of the foods that were offered in the budget camps. I hope in the future they will be able to add more options for people who are not Kenyans.

Great safari
We had an amazing experience on this safari! We saw so many different types of animals right from the start, and most of these were so close to the car we had a great view. Our guide Lewis was very knowledgeable and could answer any question we put to him. The food and camping facilities were all great and better than expected. Chef Salim made sure we were always well fed with great food. Highly recommended!

Very nice 5-day safari
DAV responds very quickly and gives you all the information through Whatsapp. The safari was quickly organised. Nice pick-up service. Tour guide drove safe, even though the traffic could be chaotic. Nice activities, which we could adjust during the trip if we liked. We've seen (almost) all the animals we wished to see! The lodges were beautiful, with very nice staff.
The only thing was that through the Whatsapp communication there were some repeated mistakes. However, when asked for clarification, they were quickly recoverd.
We would recommend DAV safari to family and friends!

Organized
The safaris were very impressive and we were able to see a lot of animals and they were very close to the jeep.
The food was delicious and plentiful every day, and our chef Fabian put a lot of effort into it.
Our driver Bulldoser always got us safely to our destination, even with a breakdown once, but this was an adventure for us and very exciting.
Unfortunately, the Jeep was a bit old and the windows were difficult or impossible to open or close.
Unfortunately, the overnight stays at the public campsites weren't that great because it rained each night. Next time we would prefer accommodation in a guesthouse. The campsites are in the wild and accessible to wildlife. Ranger is on site, but not seen everywhere.
The tour was really good value for money and I can highly recommend it!!!
Communication with Jeff was very good and he organized everything very well.
Very well done Geff and thank you again for the many beautiful memories that we can take home with us.
Keep it up and stay as happy and cheerful as you are!

Reliable, straightforward to deal with, great access to Wildlife.
It has long been my dream to go to Africa and see the big 7. This was my first visit to Kenya, and I took a 4 day Budget Safari with Jocky Tours to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. We saw all the big animals and we were lucky enough to see leopard, cheetah, black and white rhinos and even a pride of lions with their kill.We not only saw them ...we saw them up close in most cases (within the safety of the vehicle). A huge shout out to our guide Dennis, who was so knowledgable and taught us so much about the animals and the environment they live in.
It was well organised with a good vehicle and I would definitely recommend this company. It was an experience of a lifetime.
