An Unforgettable Safari with an Exceptional Guide
We went on a seven-day safari with Jocky Tours & Safaris, and throughout the entire trip we were accompanied by the excellent guide, Francis. We had seen recommendations for the company on various websites, and everything we read turned out to be absolutely true.
From the very beginning of our communication with the company, we received accurate information, quick responses, and clear explanations. Their reliability and kindness were evident from the initial planning stages and throughout the entire trip.
Francis was with us throughout the safari, drove the jeep, and explained everything to us. We traveled as a family with three children, and Francis was constantly attentive to every one of us. My daughter says that Francis is amazing at spotting animals, explaining about them and about the Maasai tribe, and in general, he was able to answer every question we had.
Francis is extremely kind, pleasant, and considerate. It is clear that he has friends everywhere, and he always went out of his way to take care of every request we had.
We highly recommend Francis and Jocky Tours & Safaris! They made our safari an unforgettable experience.

Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris provided a seamless, action-packed tour with incredible wildlife sig
Choosing Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris was the absolute best decision we could have made for our trip. Even with a short schedule, they managed to cram in everything we wanted to do: visiting Serengeti, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, searching for serval cats, and experiencing a breathtaking hot air balloon ride.
Thanks to our amazing guide, Aslam, we were able to see almost every animal we hoped for, capped off by the wildebeest river crossing, which was a truly awe-inspiring spectacle that will stay with us for a lifetime. Aslam’s expert judgment, deep knowledge, and incredible ability to predict wildlife movements and position the vehicle perfectly made all the difference. Beyond his tracking skills, his warm smile and thoughtful personality completely won us over.
He also went above and beyond with the little details, providing warm picnic lunches, plenty of drinking water and soft drinks, and even taking us to local shops whenever we needed to pick up extra items. We couldn't have asked for a better safari experience!

An exceptional experience with a guide giving every effort to exceed our wishes and expectations
Serengeti Smiles from our first inquiry were very speedy answering our questions. Options given to us were helpful. We feel it was good value for money. We chose midrange but it was very comfortable both vehicle and accommodation. Our guide Champion however was top of the range. Couldn't fault his ability to find animals for us and remain courteous and kind and delightful company.

An unforgettable experience, perfect for our honeymoon
We chose them to organize our safari in Tanzania as part of our honeymoon, and we couldn’t have made a better choice!
Linah, the tour organizer, was incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive to our needs from the very beginning. She found the perfect solution for us, arranging a private safari that was ideal for our honeymoon, with very reasonable prices and beautiful accommodations that made our trip even more special.
Amour, our guide, is a young, incredibly kind, and highly knowledgeable person. It was a real pleasure spending four days with him. Thanks to his experience and attention to detail, we were able to see all five of the Big Five! What we appreciated most, however, was his willingness to answer all our questions and explain everything in detail, from interesting facts about the animals to the most authentic aspects of the local culture, and especially the Maasai culture.
He allowed us to experience the safari not simply as spectators, but as an opportunity to truly understand and appreciate the land, the animals, and the people who live there.
If we ever return to Tanzania for another safari, we would happily choose them again without hesitation!
A heartfelt thank you to Linah and Amour for making this part of our honeymoon truly unforgettable.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Safari Adventure of a Lifetime with Imara Africa Safaris
From the very beginning, the booking and planning experience with Cate was absolutely exceptional. Over the course of eight months, she was incredibly helpful, attentive, and responsive to every question I had. She provided detailed information about packing, travel authorizations, vaccinations, and everything else I needed to feel fully prepared for my trip.
During the planning process, I mentioned that this safari would take place around my birthday and casually asked if one of the lodges might be able to provide a dessert. What happened exceeded anything I could have imagined. Cate went completely above and beyond to make my birthday unforgettable. Every lodge I stayed at surprised me with something special, including birthday cakes, singing, dancing, roses, and even "Happy Birthday" beautifully spelled out on my bed. When I first arrived, Imara Africa Safaris surprised me with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers and a bottle of wine. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. This was not only a birthday I will never forget, but a safari experience I will cherish forever.
I am truly blown away by the thought, care, and attention that went into planning every detail of this trip. Cate designed an incredible itinerary that included multiple destinations and a wide variety of activities, making every day exciting and unique. From game drives and boat rides to bicycling, hiking, and even a breathtaking hot air balloon ride, every experience added something special to the adventure.
The safari itself was made even more amazing thanks to my guide and driver, Paul. As a solo traveler, safety was very important to me, and Paul made sure I felt comfortable and secure throughout the entire journey. He is an outstanding driver, an incredibly knowledgeable guide, and one of the kindest people I have ever met.
Paul knew exactly where to go to maximize wildlife sightings and worked tirelessly to help me find all the animals I dreamed of seeing. Thanks to him, I saw the Big Five, along with many other incredible animals. One of the most exciting moments was watching a cheetah and a giraffe cross directly in front of our Land Cruiser. Another unforgettable experience was when Paul found a lioness napping and positioned us perfectly for an up-close view. It felt surreal, as though she was there just for me, with no other vehicles around despite it being a busy season.
Paul's expertise, patience, and passion for wildlife made every game drive extraordinary. He is truly a world-class safari guide, and I can confidently say he is the best safari driver and guide I could have hoped for.
If you are considering a safari in Kenya or Tanzania, I cannot recommend Imara Africa Safaris highly enough. If you're lucky enough to work with Cate for planning and Paul as your safari guide, you're in the very best hands. They turned my dream safari into a reality and created memories that will last a lifetime.
Thank you, Cate, Paul, and the entire Imara Africa Safaris team, for making my birthday safari so incredibly special. This was truly the adventure of a lifetime! 🦁🎂🌍✨

Robin. Awesome. Acute guide and driver, can pick best position whenever a wildlife showed up.
It was truly a worthwhile journey, especially for the price. We managed to see all of the Big Five, visit several different nature reserves, and even witness a leopard hunting.
Robin was an excellent guide. He was highly skilled at both driving and spotting wildlife, and he always managed to find the best spots for us to get a great view of the animals.
For a budget trip, the accommodation and buffet meals were generally quite good, although the quality became a little more basic later on. The main downside was that there was quite a lot of time spent in the car, which could get a bit tiring and make you sleepy. That said, I don't think this can really be avoided on a safari, given the distances between the different parks and reserves.
If you’re looking for an even better experience, I’d recommend staying for a longer period or focusing on just a few parks rather than trying to cover too many places in one trip.
