A truly exceptional guide
An Unforgettable Safari Adventure with Albert
Our safari experience was absolutely incredible, thanks to our outstanding guide, Albert! His sharp eyes spotted hidden leopards and roaming lions that we would have easily missed. Albert's deep knowledge of animal behavior and local ecosystems made every game drive both educational and thrilling. He was professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about wildlife conservation. The stunning sunrise over the savannah and close encounters with elephants were unforgettable highlights. I highly recommend this safari, especially with Albert as your guide. A truly magical experience worth every penny

We spent 4 days in Tanzania on a safari tour and it was just incredible !
We're soo glad to have Richard as our guide because we got to see all the animals we hoped for and got a lot of explanations during our tour.

Excellent
I had an amazing experience with Jungleroam Safaris from start to finish.
The service during the tour was outstanding. Our guide Albert was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly passionate about wildlife, which made the whole journey even more memorable. The itinerary was well-planned, and we always felt safe and well looked after.
In terms of value for money, Jungleroam Safaris exceeded my expectations. The quality of the accommodations, the transportation, and the overall organization was impressive for the price.

Masai Mara - a guaranteed highlight
Jocky Tours arranged a 3-day safari for me to the Masai Mara, which included an evening game drive and a full day in the reserve. Communication throughout the booking process was clear, and the accommodation they recommended—Jambo Mara Lodge—was excellent. I joined an existing group and was lucky to end up with a fun, friendly crew.
Our safari guide, Dennis, was fantastic. Quiet and soft-spoken, but incredibly knowledgeable and constantly coordinating with rangers and other drivers to make sure we didn’t miss any key sightings. Thanks to him, we had about 15 unforgettable minutes alone with two lionesses and their cubs. He clearly knows the park inside out and had plenty of insight to share. We managed to see everything except the elusive rhino.
On the last day, we chose to visit a Masai village. The community was very welcoming, and it was fascinating to learn about their way of life. Do bring some cash if you’d like to purchase their handmade crafts—it's a meaningful way to support their livelihood.
My only caution is the long 6–7 hour drive from Nairobi. It’s not the most comfortable journey, and the seats in our vehicle were a bit worn. After five hours in the back row, my body definitely felt it. Thankfully, during the actual safari drives, you can stand up in the jeep, which makes a big difference.
Overall, the Masai Mara is a guaranteed highlight, and Jocky Tours delivered a memorable experience.

Willie provided us an excellent transfer and was very kind!
Willie arrived early to pick us up from our hotel. During the 6 hour drive to Kruger we had 2 stops where we were able to use the restroom and stretch our legs. Willie was a great driver and we had a good trip.

Amazing tour! Danakil, Abuna Yemata Guh and Axum.
This was an incredible tour! The tour guide Haile (Hailemeskel) is a true professional. He took exceptional care of me, he made sure everything was fine, he was there for any needs question or concerns. He truly went above and beyond which makes a trip like this a joy to be on.
We started off travelling to the volcano Erte Ale, which is an experience, you sleep under the stars to the sounds of jackals, you can clearly see the Milkyway (there are no lights or any structures at the camp). Then off to the Assale Salt Lake for sunrise and a walk around the colourful geological features. Next up was a trip to the church Abuna Yemata Guh which is not for the faint of heart but hugely rewarding and the guides are with you every step of the way. Finally amazing archeology and colourful churches in Axum.
All meals were provided, accommodation was always comfortable, we had good cars and drivers and Haile made sure I could always get a local beer when I wanted one. We also had a couple of fun evenings out.
Great service, incredible value for money and safety always a priority.
When I return to Ethiopia for my next adventure it will be with Haile, Finot Tour Ethiopia.

Life Changing Adventure with Heart of Serengeti ARTS
We had a truly wonderful safari trip from start to finish. Even before booking, all our questions were answered quickly and thoroughly, which already gave us a great feeling about the whole experience.
Upon arriving in Tanzania, we were picked up exactly as agreed. Everyone from Heart of Serengeti ARTS we met was incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming.
The accommodations throughout the trip were all excellent, and the food was amazing everywhere, including the lunches on the road. But the absolute highlight was the game drives in the different national parks.
Our guide, John, has an incredible depth of knowledge about the animals, plants, and the region, as well as the traditions and culture of Tanzania. He shared so much with us in a clear and engaging way, and we learned a great deal. John always knew the best spots to view wildlife, and thanks to his expertise, we often found ourselves right where the animals crossed near our vehicle or in the perfect position to see them at their most active. His passion for the wildlife made every moment magical.
I want to sincerely thank John and the entire Heart of Serengeti ARTS team, especially Geofrey Mpina, for creating such an unforgettable experience. I am already looking forward to returning and booking another safari with them.

From Tarangire to Ngorongoro: Pure Magic
Our 5 day safari with Oldbeast Vacations was absolutely incredible. Every moment felt like a dream, from the breathtaking landscapes to the amazing wildlife all around us. We were lucky enough to see so many animals up close, and every day brought new surprises that left us in awe.
Our guide, John, was nothing short of extraordinary. Friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, he made the safari feel personal and effortless. He listened carefully to what we wanted, adjusted the itinerary to suit us, and even stayed longer in areas where the animals were abundant. John’s respect for the wildlife was inspiring – he let us get close to the animals while always ensuring we did not disturb them. His passion and expertise made every encounter magical, and thanks to him, we experienced moments we will never forget.
We explored Tarangire, Lake Manyara, Serengeti, and finished in Ngorongoro Crater. Our accommodations, especially Siafu Lodge, were beyond what we expected – comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly situated to enjoy the surroundings. Each meal was a delight, with fresh, cooked lunches and dinners that made every bite memorable.
The team at Oldbeast Vacations made the experience seamless and stress-free. Mwanne was always available, accommodating, and genuinely cared about making our trip perfect. Even with flight changes and adjustments, the team ensured everything ran smoothly.
This safari was more than just a trip – it was an experience that touched our hearts. The beauty of Tanzania, the incredible animals, and the warmth and professionalism of John and the Oldbeast Vacations team made this journey unforgettable. We cannot wait to return and would choose Oldbeast Vacations again in a heartbeat.

Charming, communicative, knowledgeable, wonderful!
Organizing a trip for my entire family (8 of us) to such a distant location and at such great expense can certainly seem daunting, but I could not be happier with the services provided by Mournic. I'm very happy I decided to give them the contract for our trip!
From the outset, our tour liaison and coordinator, Victor, was just incredible in making sure that everything I had in mind to do was possible and organized it perfectly. I had a chance to talk on the phone to the owner, Nicholas, before our trip, and he assured me they'd handle everything - and to clarify the one negative comment on this page, which, as I also work in a customer oriented business, I completely understood. Do not let that one review dissuade you! He was even there to meet us at our Nairobi hotel on the day we arrived and the day we left on safari to see us off, which we all appreciated - a great personal touch to us, which I'm sure we wouldn't get with a larger enterprise.
Our driver, Mr Moises, was spectacular with his knowledge of the parks, communication, and commitment to making sure we all enjoyed ourselves, very understanding and absolutely charming. He went out of his way to communicate with other guides and rangers to ensure we were always aware of the best sightings, and communicated well with the multiple languages of our family. Truly a wonderful man, and I hope he's available for our next tour!
We did six days between Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasha, and the Masai Mara. Between wildlife photographers like myself to more relaxed visitors like my parents, they were able to accommodate everyone's needs. Multiple game drives, great stops, they added their own touch to my itinerary which I was very happy with.
I can give them my highest recommendation, and that of my entire group. They made a truly once in a lifetime adventure for us! I will gladly use them again when I return for Tsavo & Samburu!
