The best safari experience! Made our honeymoon special!
We had the most incredible experience with African Polecat Safari for our honeymoon in Tanzania! From start to finish, they helped create an unforgettable itinerary that was the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and luxury.
Every camp and lodge we stayed at was amazing, and the food was absolutely delicious. The safari itself was beyond anything we could have imagined. We were lucky enough to see the Big Five, including rhinos and lions, and seeing these incredible animals so close and in their natural habitat was truly surreal. Very important always ask the lodges/camps if water/alcohol is included. It was very frustrating when we thought water was free but ended up having to pay for it or wine.
A huge part of what made our honeymoon so special was our incredible guide, Allen. He was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and made every day of our safari so much fun. Thanks to him, we even learned some Swahili along the way! He went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience, and by the end of our trip, he truly felt like a friend. We were genuinely so sad to say goodbye to him.
Zanzibar was also absolutely beautiful and the perfect way to end our honeymoon. Everything was thoughtfully planned, and we always felt taken care of. If you’re going a ln excursion make sure to ask what payment they accept. At the hotel they said card was fine and it wasn’t we had to go to the atm and take money out.
We are so grateful to African Polecat Safari for giving us memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are considering a safari in Tanzania, we highly recommend them and if you’re lucky enough to have Allen as your guide, you’re in for something truly special! Asanti sana! 🐘🦁❤️

Three Days in the Masai Mara: A Memory We Will Treasure for a Lifetime
We have just finished an incredible three-day safari in the Masai Mara, and without a doubt, it has been one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.
My wife, my son, and I were absolutely thrilled with every aspect of the trip. The safari exceeded all our expectations: we saw an astonishing number of animals—far more than we ever imagined—and experienced moments that we will cherish forever. Every single day was filled with excitement and breathtaking encounters with wildlife.
The accommodation chosen for us, Mara Sopa Lodge, was also outstanding. Set in a beautiful location, it was comfortable, welcoming, and the perfect place to relax after each exciting day on safari.
However, the true highlight of this experience—the element that made it genuinely exceptional—was our guide and driver, Eric.
Eric is an extraordinary person. He is an exceptionally skilled driver, always careful and safe throughout the journey, constantly smiling, professional, attentive, and incredibly dedicated. His outstanding knowledge of the wildlife and the park allowed us to witness amazing scenes and discover spectacular places. He never wasted a single minute, was always perfectly punctual, and somehow always seemed to arrive at the best spots before everyone else. He worked tirelessly to make sure we had the best safari experience possible.
Beyond his professionalism, Eric has remarkable human qualities. He is warm, friendly, and naturally empathetic. He created a wonderful atmosphere among the seven people who shared this adventure with us, making the experience even more enjoyable and memorable for everyone.
We wholeheartedly recommend Jocky Tours to anyone looking for a perfectly organized safari in Kenya. And above all, our deepest thanks go to Eric. His passion, expertise, kindness, and enthusiasm transformed an amazing holiday into a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Eric. You made our African dream even more beautiful.

Professional, local and prompt.
I had an excellent experience with this safari tour company. They were incredibly professional, consistently prompt in their responses, and very accommodative when we requested an additional stop during our itinerary. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also friendly and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the entire journey even more memorable. Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari adventure.
Great team at African family safaris
Lisa and Nadine or a dynamic duo! From start to finish, they offered the gold standard of customer service. All the details were dialed in. They were flexible and proactive, we communicated daily. The choices of lodging & tour drivers offered first class service in a genuine opportunity to spend time and get to know somebody they were professional and personal. It was clear that they were looking to build a Customer for life. I look forward to returning to Africa and working again with this team my son and I had a trip of a lifetime and you were a huge part of making that happen. Thank you.

The best gift for my dad's 60th b-day
Take a minute to visit their website and read their mission. I say that because they do walk the talk. The trip and the team were beyond expectations from the first email to plan the trip, to the drop-off at the airport on the way back. This was a trip planned to celebrate with my family and friend my dad's 60th b-day, and ended up being one of the most special memories we built together.

Wonderful visit to Madagascar!
We had a wonderful time in Madagascar! Mialy was great to work with planning the trip. She even gladly helped us with rescheduling some days due to flight issues. Hasina was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. Jimmy did a great job driving too! I highly recommend MI Travel!

An incredible experience that we will remember for a lifetime.
I will start by saying that Dennis was an incredible safari guide! He was super respectful of the animals whilst ensuring we had the best sight and photo shots. His knowledge of the animals and the park was excellent, so much so that we saw the Big 5, Super 7, Ugly 5, wildebeest migration plus lots, lots more! Dennis also made us feel very comfortable including, safe driving, clean and serviceable vehicle, calm and respectful approach, and he had a clear plan with timings throughout, managing the whole party's needs.
From myself and my wife, thank you Dennis, it will be a trip we will always remember.

Excellent safari with Abia in the wonderful Serengeti plains
For our fourth safari in the Serengeti in the space of just a few years, we chose Serengeti Vacations. We have chosen this tour operator because we know very well the owner – who is also a knowledgeable and experienced guide – Abia. He was our guide on our previous three safaris and we’d already had a brilliant experience. We believe that the feeling with the guide accounts for at least 85 per cent of a safari’s success, and with Abia we were certain we were in safe hands. And so it proved! He knows perfectly that our main aim is to see as many lions as possible, given our particular passion for this magnificent cat, and this year we had so many sightings – all of them truly unforgettable! Abia is an excellent guide; he has a keen eye and knows exactly when to spot the most interesting situations. He knows the wonderful park (which he likes to call ‘his office’) almost like the back of his hand, and he is a kind, friendly and reliable person, whom we now consider a friend. The organisation was excellent, as was the communication both before and during the trip, and the price is reasonable; in short, we would definitely recommend Serengeti Vacations to anyone wishing to discover the beauty of the Serengeti and Tanzania’s other parks. Asante sana, rafiki!
