Amazing
I was so very impressed with the care and professionalism of our driver/operator and Maasai Loita tours. They made the experience of the Maasai Mara unforgettable. Besides the fabulous big game, Jackson (driver) was willing to work with me to spot and stop for birds and I was able to get beautiful photos. Having waited for years to visit Kenya; it was an experience that I will cherish forever and definitely want to repeat. Extraordinary value for money! I felt safe and protected from pick up at the Maasai Mara airstrip to drop off at Nairobi airport. Thank you so much Maasai Loita for your dedicated service. Priceless 🙏🏼

Amazing expirience you need to do but you dont know to do
I spent a 4 days safari with my girlfriend. We had an experience that we don't expect. We visiting all the biggest tanzanian parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater). Thanks to William (our guide) we were able to see all the big 5 and lots of other animals. All the accomodations were characteristics and welcoming.
The only things it's that one accommodation change after the first paymant. The others are perfect.
Thanks to Bryan of Aquiline to organize this with us, answering all we have need.

It was so Great and we see all the big 5
It was a very nice experience, we went on safari for 4 days and slept in tents. It was really very nice. We saw the big 5 and were taken to beautiful places. The driver and everyone from the organization are very nice and ensure a very nice environment. The food was delicious and the sleeping arrangements were also very good. There was a network everywhere and the transport was very good!

It couldn't have been better
With Josh dreamland our dream of a safari came true. We were skeptical at first because the prices were so cheap, but when we were on safari we were more than impressed. We saw the big five and our driver William did everything he could to ensure that we saw as many animals as possible. Apparently you can choose between camping and a slightly better package. We decided on camping and the only difference is really the accommodation; you see the same animals and sometimes eat the same food. Every meal was prepared with love by Richard and always tasted very good. Camping was also very pleasant and we even heard animals at night and saw zebras there at lunchtime. Many thanks to the team! The price-performance ratio is unbeatable and we had an unforgettable 4 days.

Excellent - we saw all of the big 5 and far more lions, elephants etc than I could have imagined
All was very well organised and the team worked hard to make sure all members of the group saw everything they wanted to. We saw all the main safari animals and plenty of them. Even cheetahs, leopards and a rhino were seen on our trip.

Beautiful once in a lifetime experience
I did a 3 nights and 4 days safari with my boyfriend. We had a great experience visiting all the main tanzanian parks (Tarangire, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater). Thanks to our guide we were able to see all the big 5 and lots of other animals. All the accomodations were great and the food was good.
Notice that all the accomodations will be booked after you do the first payment, so there may be some changes.

Jocky Tours offered us great value for the price. Great communication and very helpful.
We did a 5 day and 4 night Safari Tour in Kenya.
We did Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell’s Gate National Park.
All of these parks are amazing, but have totally different landscapes and offer their own beauty.
The key to a great Safari is having a great guide. Steve was our guide and he was very knowledgeable, informative and punctual.
He made the trip fun and always went above and beyond to get us close to the animals. He knows most of the guides in the parks so he made sure to call them and find out where the action was at the time. Through out the trip we ran out of things to ask for because he put us on everything.
We never dreamed we would see the Big 5 animals of Africa but Steve made it happen. It would be hard to pick our favorite things but seeing a leopard was just incredible.
One of the coolest experiences was seeing these cheetah’s stalk some impala’s. This cheetah took off running about 5 ft from our vehicle and was successful. So crazy how fast they are and how far away the impala’s were when the chase began. I didn’t think the cheetah had a chance. I was wrong. lol! Steve drove us right up to the kill where the cheetah were enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Our accommodations were all more than we expected for the price we paid. Sleeping in the tent in Maasai Mara was fantastic. At night we could hear the baboons and hyena. It was a really cool experience.
The food was more than we expected and the staff at every destination were super friendly and helpful. One of the evenings the hotel out on a traditional song and dance routine. It was great fun to see the crowd joining in.
If you are going to book with Jocky Tours you should ask for Steve to be your guide.

Superb Family Safari. Service & Support Outstanding.
Took the family on a safari to Namibia this summer and it completely exceeded our expectations. After doing a lot of research online, SecretNamibia stood out as the best option for families, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. Johan and his team made sure every detail was covered, and from the moment we booked, it was clear we were in expert hands.
Travelling with our two children, we were looking for a balance of adventure and comfort, and SecretNamibia delivered exactly that. They arranged everything, from the brilliant lodges to the smooth transitions between locations, making the entire trip effortless. Namibia is an unbelievably beautiful country, and each part of our journey brought something new.
In Etosha National Park, the wildlife was amazing – seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes up close was a dream come true, especially for the kids. But it wasn’t just the game drives that made the trip so memorable. SecretNamibia organised a range of activities that catered to the whole family, including guided nature walks and a special helicopter flight over the Namib Desert. Watching the sunrise over the dunes from above was absolutely breathtaking.
Our stay at the NamibRand Nature Reserve was a highlight, where we were able to relax and take in the landscapes. The combination of adventure and pure luxury made it feel like a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Johan’s expertise and care in planning meant we were able to focus on enjoying every moment. Unlike other tour organisers, Secret Namibia are also based in Namibia which put us massively at ease in case anything went wrong (it didn't!).
If you’re thinking of a family safari, you'll be really taken care of with SecretNamibia. They made sure every part of our trip was extra special, and we left Namibia with about a million photos and memories we’ll cherish forever! 10/10 experience!

Perfectly planned, Perfectly executed - Thank You Secret Namibia!
Just back from the most amazing 12 days in Namibia and it couldn't have been more perfect! Secret Namibia sorted everything and I mean everything. They suggested the perfect mix of places - we did Etosha (saw so many elephants!), the Skeleton Coast (feels like another planet), and Damaraland which was just stunning.
The lodges were out of this world - we're talking private pools overlooking waterholes, the comfiest beds ever, and the most delicious food we've ever had abroad. Hard to choose a favourite lodge but if you're staying in Sossusvlei, highly recommend Desert Lodge- there's a private observatory for stargazing that was absolutely magical. This was packaged as a luxury tour and it didn't disappoint, everywhere we went the service was fantastic. All our guides were brilliant, always seemed to know exactly where the wildlife would be and they were full of fascinating stories.
I can't say enough good things about Christell, our travel consultant, who was always really quick to reply and nothing seemed too much trouble - she even changed things around three times until we were 100% happy! Before we left, she sent us the most detailed itinerary I've ever seen - we knew exactly what to expect each day. She even thought of things we wouldn't have even considered and totally made us feel at ease.
If you're thinking about a safari, honestly just book it - this was a genuine once-in-a-lifetime experience! Worth every penny for the five-star treatment we had and can only say brilliant things about Secret Namibia- they really seem to care about giving you the best possible holiday.
