Unforgettable experience, it exceeded my expectations
We went 3 friends in December and I totally recommend this experience.
Our driver Ken was friendly and he did everything as possible to see leopard, lions and a cheetah.
Amazing

Absolutely brilliant experience with Pioneer Safaris!
Our trips to Botswana in the Summer (July and August) of 2024 and 2025, exploring three incredible regions—Central Kalahari, Khwai, and Moremi were truly unforgettable. Choosing Pioneer Safaris was the perfect decision. The team was exceptionally welcoming, every service matched the description, and both the owner and guide were friendly and approachable. In fact, we truly believe our guide was among the best in the entire country at spotting wildlife!
We stayed in spacious individual tents, each with its own toilet and shower, which made our stay extremely comfortable. The service was outstanding and deserves five-star recognition.
Without a doubt, our next safari adventure will be with Pioneer Safaris.

Poor organization. Until the very last moment we did not have fixed schedules.
The timings were never clear. On the morning of the second safari we were given a time that was not respected at all; instead, we had to wait an extra hour for another group to finish breakfast.
On the first day, the jeep had several problems and only started when pushed — not exactly a great or reassuring way to begin a safari.
Until the last minute we didn’t know what time we were supposed to leave for the airport. They realized this far too late, threw us into another jeep, and we had to rush like crazy, arriving at the airport where they almost didn’t let us check in.
A nightmare. Stressful and very disrespectful, considering how much money we paid.
I strongly recommend turning to professional agencies instead.

Great tour leader
We were going on a three day safari from Fig Tree lodge with Peter Ngigi as driver and tourleader. Peter drove the big Landcruiset with excellent skills and managed to give us fantastic experiences and the possibility of taking really great pictures. Peter is a really nice guy and his knowledge of Masai Mara and the animal life there lifted the safari to a High and satisfying level. I can only give Peter my absolute best recommandations.

Excellent animal drives with knowledgeable driver
My family and I were five people who were picked up in a big Land Cruiser at our accommodations and drove us to the Mara Fig Tree Camp in the early afternoon. During our stay here, our driver Peter Ngigi took us on an evening and full day Animal drive across the Masai Mara. He ensured we had wonderful trips both times. Well organised with timing, car and refreshments, but most importantly by being exceptionately friendly and likeable, while also being a fountain of information on the many many animals we saw (only missing the rhino!) and answering all our questions. I praise his work highly.

Outstanding 10-Day Tour with Wild Uganda
Our 10-day tour with Wild Uganda was exceptional, thanks to our outstanding guide Herbert, who provided in-depth insights into the culture, wildlife, and nature of Uganda and Rwanda. The tour was excellently organized, with each stop being a highlight of its own. We highly recommend Wild Uganda and would choose them again without hesitation.

Amazing experience, can’t wait to come back!
Earthwings was very helpful with every detail and made sure that everything was organized and prepared for us, our driver Steve Babu was super nice and really made sure we had the best shots of the animals and a very good time!

It was a great experience and everything was made really easy.
We had Dennis as our driver and guide, and he was absolutely fantastic. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and very laid-back, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable. On top of that, he’s an excellent driver ( even on long, challenging roads and in some very testing driving conditions, we always felt completely safe).
The tour itself was great and we saw everything we were hoping to see, including lots of animals. There is quite a bit of travelling involved, but it’s all part of the fun and there’s so much to see outside the window, and Dennis was always happy to explain what we were looking at or answer any questions, whether about the surroundings or even just life in general.
A huge thanks to Dennis for being an absolute legend and making this such a special experience. We’d heard a few horror stories about other tours and drivers ripping tourists off, but that couldn’t be further from the truth with Jocky Tours and Dennis. Everything was honest, well run, and exceeded our expectations.
Highly recommend, a really memorable experience.

Great experience and wonderful way to start the year
I really enjoyed the safari with Jocky Tours. It was good value for money and everything was arranged. Our guide Dennis was excellent and very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. He was also a very safe and competent driver.
