Amazing Holiday @ Kenya Safari
We had an incredible Kenya safari holiday with Splendid Vacations, and it was absolutely perfect! From Amboseli’s elephants to the Mara River crossings, every moment was magical. The itinerary was brilliantly planned, with exciting game drives and beautiful scenery.
Our admin, James, made booking effortless—quick replies, clear information, and patient answers to all our questions. Our tour guides, Alex and William, were exceptional: knowledgeable, passionate, and always positioning us for the best wildlife sightings and photos.
Alex in particular made sure we saw everything we had hoped to see, as promised. We were thoroughly entertained throughout the journey.
Every lodge and camp exceeded our expectations—comfortable, beautifully located, and with great vibes. We saw the Big Five, witnessed the river crossings, and created memories we’ll cherish forever.

A trip I will never forget with jocky and francis
We recently went on a safari and chose Jocky tours and travels after reading consistently excellent reviews across multiple platforms, including SafariBookings, Google, and TripAdvisor. With so many local operators available, the choice can feel overwhelming, but from our very first inquiry, jocky tours stood out. They were incredibly responsive, professional, and informative throughout the entire planning process. They helped us put together a fantastic itinerary, answered all of our questions promptly, and stayed in touch until the day we arrived. It was also a pleasure meeting them in the office . Thank you so much Jocky for making everything so smooth and stress-free.
For our safari, we were paired with Francis as our guide, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Francis was absolutely outstanding. He was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about wildlife and conservation. From the moment we started our journey, he made sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every moment.
Francis had an incredible eye for spotting animals and seemed to find wildlife that many others would have easily missed. He took the time to explain animal behavior, ecosystems, and local culture, which added so much depth to the experience. His expertise, patience, and enthusiasm made every game drive exciting and educational.
One particularly memorable moment was when Francis imitated the calls of a baby wildebeest. A nearby family of spotted hyenas immediately heard the sounds, got up from where they were resting, and started walking toward us looking genuinely confused, as if they were trying to figure out where the lost wildebeest calf was. Watching them approach with that “wait… who called?” expression was both fascinating and hilarious, and a perfect example of how knowledgeable and entertaining francis was throughout the trip.
He also made sure we had plenty of opportunities for amazing photos and always positioned the vehicle thoughtfully so we could get the best possible views. He is a professional photographer and he knows how to position the jeep for perfect shots. Thanks to him, we saw everything we had hoped for and much more.
Beyond being an exceptional guide, Francis is a genuinely kind and warm person. By the end of the trip, we felt more like a friend than just a guide. We will always remember the wonderful experiences and memories he helped create.
Thank you, Francis , and thank you, Jocky tours , for an unforgettable safari. We had an incredible time and truly appreciate everything you did for us. 🙏🙏

Outstanding service from Off2Africa
I have just returned from what has to be 2 of the best weeks of my life!
Off2Africa surpassed our expectations; from initial planning, arrival greetings, choice of accommodation, quality of the food, but especially the friendliness and flexibility of staff they work with. Everyone worked with a smile, and every small detail was covered. The overall teamwork and communication ensured each day ran like clockwork.
We were especially impressed with the knowledge and commitment of our Machaba Safari guides (David and Nkotana). They went out of their way to share their vast knowledge and to ensure we experienced as much of Hwange and Mana Pools as each day would allow.
At Volcanoes National Park, Lucky was over every detail of our itinerary. We couldn’t have asked for more!
To witness the spectacular wildlife and the amazing conservation parks was truly humbling.
This was meant to be a “trip of a lifetime” but Africa has left an elephant sized footprint on my soul and I can’t wait to start planning our next adventure!

Great experience and service!
I recently undertook a 5-day safari tour with Axis Africa Safaris and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. From the moment we booked until the very end of our trip, the service we received was great. Everything was well organised, communication was excellent, and we felt looked after every step of the way.
The safari itself was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to our fantastic guide; Mimi Kelvin, we were lucky enough to see the Big Five, making it a truly memorable trip. Our guide was incredibly patient, knowledgeable and friendly, always taking the time to answer our questions and ensuring we had the best possible wildlife sightings. His enthusiasm and expertise made the entire 5-day tour an absolute pleasure.
A special thank you also to Peter Mungai, who stayed in touch with us throughout the trip. He was always friendly, attentive and incredibly accommodating, making sure everything ran smoothly and that we had the best possible experience. It was reassuring to know they were always available if we needed anything.
If we’re fortunate enough to go on another safari in the future, we wouldn’t hesitate to choose Axis again. They delivered a great experience from start to finish, and we have memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to the whole team for such an incredible adventure!

Passion heart and perfection.
Our safari with Serengeti Wakanda was simply unforgettable. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized, with outstanding professionalism and attention to every detail.
Gwen made sure every aspect of our trip ran smoothly, and Hassan was exceptional. His knowledge, warmth, sense of humor, and enthusiasm made every day a joy. He was much more than a guide—he became a wonderful travel companion. Thanks to both of them, we experienced incredible wildlife encounters and created memories that will stay with us forever.
Every lodge was fantastic, especially Nimali, and everywhere we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for.
What impressed us most was that, with Wakanda Serengeti, nothing seems impossible. They go above and beyond to make every guest's dream come true. After this journey, we truly believe that Serengeti Wakanda means Heroes of the Serengeti—people who create extraordinary experiences with passion, dedication, and heart.
If you're looking for an authentic, seamless, and unforgettable safari, we couldn't recommend Wakanda Serengeti more highly.

Unforgettable
We had an incredible 3-day safari exploring Lake Manyara, the Ngorongoro Crater, and Tarangire National Park. On all three days, we were extremely lucky to spot an abundance of wildlife with perfect visibility, all while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes.
Everything was seamlessly organized from start to finish. A special thank you to David for his constant support throughout the planning process and during the trip, and to our incomparable guide, Charles. Charles is a true professional whose expertise and passion made our experience truly unique.
On top of the fantastic game drives, all the lodges we stayed at were perfect, and the food was excellent both at breakfast and dinner. We couldn’t have asked for a better safari operator and highly recommend them to anyone visiting Tanzania!
